Teo Hayashi started his ministry as a missionary at YWAM in 2000. After serving on the mission field in Asia, he spent 5 years serving as one of the ministers of Kingsley Fletcher in the U.S., then he returned to Brazil in 2008 to serve as one of the pastors at Mount Zion Church.

Gabriël is missionary from Potchefstroom, South Africa. He is passionate about preaching the word of God and training people to become leaders. His favorite topics are fear of the Lord, Holiness and hearing God’s voice. He has a heart to see the everyday believer be the catalyst God has made them to be. He is married to Michelle and has a beautiful daughter, Anastasia and a son, Caleb.

 After a radical encounter with God, Gabriël did his Discipleship Training School with YWAM in the USA. After that time Gabriël was led back to South Africa in 2015, where he pastored a church and started a worship gathering that grew to hundreds of university students every Tuesday night from various churches.

At the end of 2017, Gabriël and Michelle moved to Kona, Hawaii, where they led the Fire and Fragrance leadership training school for almost 2years. At the end of 2019 they recruited 25 staff to join them to plant the first YWAM Fire and Fragrance Ministry base in Potchefstroom, South Africa, where they have been joyfully leading ever since.
