Meet Our Founder

Hi, I'm Laura Gabel!

I am the Co-Creator of BeyondU. The Divine Architect mind-mapped the whole vision by my hand on 2 sheets of paper in 2016.

I was introduced to Christ through my husband and Christian television over 25 years ago. My testimony includes, smoking, alcohol, New Age activity, divorce and more–I’m not ashamed of my background, it gives me the opportunity to relate, have compassion, and boast in the what the Lord has done for me.

My testimony includes how God supernaturally taught me how to draw and paint when I was 59 years old and I have been an artist for 10 years. You can read my story here. Recently, I finished illustrating a children’s book written by my sister, Leesa Donner, about an autistic boy, Peter, and his friend Pepe, the Puffin. You can find Peter & Pepe the Puffin and the Mystery of the Dollar Bill on Amazon here.

I have a Masters degree in Library Science, and worked in 2 university libraries, as well as a young adult librarian. I was also a VP in vocational education, and owned an executive career counseling and recruiting business with my husband.

My journey has led to the creation of Path to Freedom’s “Living Life Free” which does emotional/inner healing and deliverance with individuals. I am the creator of the 5 Minute Miracle Telepraying Way, and the SonNiteLive Players which produces Christian comedy skits.

For over 20 years I led a weekly Bible study, titled “Living Victoriously: Your Identity in Christ”. My latest Bible Study is entitled “The Above Born Church: The Spirit of Full Acceptance.”

I have participated in the Christian Farmers Outreach, been a Breakthrough Intercessor, and volunteered as a client advocate at a Women’s Pregnancy Center. Most recently, I have spoken and ministered in Ft. Worth, Texas and Cali, Columbia, South America. Additionally, I was interviewed on Liberty Nation News regarding the record breaking $195M sale of Andy Warhol’s Blue Marilyn silkscreen.

One of my greatest delights is mentoring men and women of all ages. I pray for unity and love in the body of diverse believers.

Widowed, I live the Adventurous WildLife with the BU Tribe and my 3 dogs in Spring Hill, Florida. I have 2 stepchildren and 2 great granddaughters: MacKenzie and Paisley.
