Casa Gabriel

To see youth at risk become successful Christian leaders in their home, church, community and world

History

Casa Gabriel unofficially began in 2001 as "The Quito Street Kids Training Ministry". Some of the Youth World staff were burdened by the boys that they saw living on the street and began to offer meals, a change of clothes and a Bible study one or two days per week. Later, Gabriel a young Peruvian Christian who had been reaching out on his own to younger street kids heard about what Youth World was doing and joined the new team. For a time many of the boys slept in the Youth World office. In 2003 Casa Gabriel officially became a ministry of Youth World and International Teams. In 2005 the home and property where the boys now reside was purchased. Casa Gabriel ultimately evolved into not only a place to live, but to intentionally train and equip young men to become ambassadors for Jesus Christ.
