At just 20 years old, Gabe Poirot’s life changed forever after a skateboard accident on October 25, 2021. Traveling around 30 mph, he struck an object, was thrown onto the sidewalk, and suffered severe head injuries. Gabe was unconscious for 18 days while doctors fought to keep him alive and loved ones prayed at his bedside. After awakening, he described what he believed happened during his coma. He said he experienced an overwhelming place filled with light, love, and glory, where he encountered a figure he identified as Jesus. His account would later captivate millions of viewers online.

Gabe described Jesus as a Middle Eastern-looking man with curly, medium-length hair, saying the encounter felt both deeply personal and eternal. He recalled hearing the words, “Why are you worried about something that has already been paid for?” He also repeatedly heard “worthy is the lamb,” echoing imagery from Revelation. Gabe says he saw mountains, rivers, trees, and waves seemingly united in the same message. Although his experience cannot be independently verified, he believes it transformed his understanding of life. After surviving the devastating accident, Gabe began sharing his story publicly, convinced those 18 silent days in a coma changed him forever.
