Today, we celebrate the man God gave us.
Rev. Yunana Gaddiel, our father, our shepherd, and the one whose obedience to God laid the foundation on which we all stand. On your birthday, we do not simply mark another year. We honor a life poured out in service, in prayer, and in love for the people God placed in your hands.
You founded this ministry, but more than a ministry, you built a family. You gave us a home where we could grow, heal, and find our footing in God. Many of us came broken. Many came searching. You received us all. That is not a small thing. That is the work of a true father.
Your humility has shaped us more than you know. You lead without demanding the room. You correct without crushing. You carry authority the way it was always meant to be carried, quietly, firmly, and with grace. Your leniency is not weakness. It is wisdom. It reflects the patience of the God you serve.
We have watched you be a shepherd in the truest sense. You go before us. You stay with us. You do not lead from a distance.
On this day, the entire church stands together to say: we are grateful. Grateful for your yes to God. Grateful for the years you have given, the prayers you have prayed, and the love you have never withheld.
May God honor you as you have honored Him. May this new year bring you health, joy, and the deep rest that comes from knowing your labor has not been in vain.
Happy Birthday, Daddy. We love you.
