BROTHER GABRIEL JOLI[one of the first members of the institute of at. Martin DE porres Brothers]

Sometime in 1954, accompanied by his faithful catechist, the priest in charge of kadule mission set out on 'safari', a journey which took him from village to village, visiting the Christians. As He approached Buko village, a large village with very few Christians, he was approached by a wizened old woman who threw herself at his feer: " MAN OF GOD! MAN OF GOD! " she shouted. " This is Mundara, the terrible witch, " said the priest in a firm voice as he looked her squarely in the face.
Again the old woman began to shout: "NO, NO, NO, DO NIT TORTURE ME! DO NOT EXPEL ME! "
was it Mundara herself who was speaking or was it the devil who possessed her?

At that time the priest came to know that Mundara was imitating the priest in everything they did. She even pretended to administer the seven sacraments. Faced with such oppositions, the missionary could only pray, "Lord Jesus, come with your power to this village. Raise up among its people someone who is really strong, who will work for your kingdom and destroy the reign of Satan. "
Up-to that time no member of Buko village had ever approached the mission and not one boy or girl had ever attended the mission school. A few days later, following this encounter with Mundara the with, a ten year old boy, Gabriel Joli, set out for the mission. Gabriel was the son of the chief, his firstborn and the only child in the family.
