What obstacles did Gabriel have to overcome, and what helped him?

Gabriel had to overcome his fears and doubts in order to  move where more publishers were needed, he had to say goodbye to his friends and family, but he was ready for what Jehovah had in store for him. Jehovah helped him overcome his doubts through a Bible verse, Hebrews 11: 8. That helped him decide to be able to move where he was needed and thus help more brothers around the world.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

In the first place he had to face his fear of the unknown, besides he knew he could do more but he was comfortable with the life he led so he had to make an effort to get out of his comfort zone. Something that helped him was reading about Abraham's faith in Hebrews 11:8 and he came to the conclusion that he couldn't direct his life better than Jehovah.

In addition, he agreed to fill out the application for the campaign to which his friend had invited him, since as he himself says that a part was opened in front of him, he only had to enter through it, he went to the campaign and the experience helped him to see things in a destined way, because he began to see the ministry in a different way and wanted to do more, that is why he calculated the expenses and asked the elders for help to write to the branch and received several options of where he could serve.

Gabriel overcame the hurdle of overcoming his fear of the unknown and his comfort. He didn't want to step out of his comfort zone even though he knew he could do more. Jehovah helped him when he read in Hebrews 11: 8 about Abraham's faith, he thought and said who can lead life better than Jehovah so he made the decision to leave.

The experience took him out of his comfort zone and thanks to that he began to see the ministry from another point of view and wanted to do more so he wanted to do more and wrote to the branch with the help of Jehovah I chose the best option. Trusting in Jehovah and being ready for whatever Jehovah has in store for us is the best we can do.
