Gabriel Moore, native of Fort Worth, TX, “grew up in the church” as most people claim. However, the Gospel was not appealing to him. Consequently, he conformed to the world. Captivated by popularity, women, money, drugs, and materialism, he became complacent in sin.
After high school and his freshman year at Jarvis Christian College, he transferred to Stephen F. Austin State University in 2002. He found himself isolated and on the verge of giving up until God timely invaded his life with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, through two campus ministers. God slowly revealed himself to Gabriel, until he finally surrendered his life and desires to the Lord.
Gabriel discovered he was blessed with the gift of poetry. He embraced and cultivated this gift and began ministering at secular and Christian events on campus, inspiring the lives of many people.
He joined Men of God Christian Fraternity, Inc (M.O.G.) where he was challenged, encouraged, and discipled by other college-aged men. In M.O.G., he met Timothy Dixon (The Channel) and Edwin Tatum (Judah). They grew in the LORDand eventually established Kingdom Minded Records, LLC. It was in KMR that Gabriel took on the meaning of his birth name and would be known as, “tha messenger” (all lower-case letters, symbolizing the insignificance of himself in comparison to Christ).
He is married to a wonderful woman of God, Dietra Moore and together they have a son, Immanuel Kaylon Moore and are patiently and joyfully awaiting the arrival of their daughter, Gabrielle Kennedy Moore. They attend Nacogdoches Bible Fellowship, under the leadership of Pastor Norman Keith Ellison.
At present, “tha messenger” is toiling daily completing his first and long anticipated poetry book, Red Ink Poetry…Where the Red Ink of the Bible and Poetry Unite. Red Ink Poetry is comprised a biblical and lyrical approach by “tha messenger” to communicate the heart of God in a distinctive poetic form. Red Ink Poetry inspires it’s readers to lay aside all of the weight plaguing our communities, churches, families, marriages, and the
spiritual growth of believers. Red Ink Poetry makes the common red print of our Bibles
pertinent to our everyday lives.
