Dante.

Born in Argentina in 1968, Dante Gebel is a multifaceted public figure recognized for his work as a writer, pastor, and television host. He gained prominence through popular television programs such as 'Dante Night Show' and 'Dante’s Divine Night,' earning an award for best television presenter in 2023. Gebel's background includes a working-class upbringing with English and German heritage. He has shared personal experiences, including his mother's recovery from cancer and his father's overcoming of alcoholism, attributing these events to faith and prayer. Gebel has also stated he has Asperger syndrome. He began his public service in church from a young age, participating as a musician and singer, and later as an evangelist. His marriage in 1990 led to the launch of a Christian radio program aimed at young people, which propelled him into broader evangelistic speaking engagements. A significant event in his early career was the 'Superclasico' evangelical gathering in Buenos Aires in 1996, which drew over 50,000 attendees and became a recurring event.

Gebel's pastoral career includes leading the Hispanic congregation at Crystal Cathedral in California from 2009 to 2012, where he oversaw substantial growth, increasing attendance from 300 to 3,000. Following this, the congregation relocated and was renamed Favorday Church. He currently leads River Church, a large Hispanic megachurch in Anaheim, California. His influence extends to international events, having participated in celebrations for Israel's independence and offered prayers at the inauguration ceremonies for the President of El Salvador. Gebel is also the author of several books published in Spanish.

Dante Gebel was born in Argentina in 1968 into a family of English and German descent. His early life was marked by his mother's battle with cancer, a period during which his family experienced a profound spiritual awakening. Following his mother's recovery and his father's cessation of alcoholism, the family became actively involved in an evangelical church. Gebel himself began serving in church ministries during his adolescence, contributing as a musician, singer, and assisting evangelists. In 1990, he married Liliana, and together they launched a Christian radio program targeting young audiences. This program's success led to invitations for Gebel to preach at evangelistic events. A pivotal moment in his early ministry was the organization of the 'Superclasico' event in 1996 at Buenos Aires' Vélez Sarfield Stadium, which drew over 50,000 people and became a recurring large-scale evangelical gathering.

From 2009 to 2012, Dante Gebel served as the pastor for the Hispanic church at Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California. During his tenure, he significantly expanded the congregation, increasing attendance from 300 to 3,000 individuals. The ministry later relocated to the Anaheim Convention Center and was renamed Favorday Church. Currently, Gebel leads River Church, a prominent Hispanic megachurch based in Anaheim, California. His influence has also extended to international stages; he delivered prayers at the 71st-anniversary celebration of Israel's independence in Uganda and offered blessings at the inauguration ceremonies for El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele in 2019 and 2024. Gebel has also publicly stated that he has Asperger syndrome.

Dante Gebel is the author of numerous books, primarily written in Spanish, exploring themes that resonate with his public ministry and audience. His published works include titles such as 'Pasión de multitudes,' 'Las arenas del alma,' 'El código del campeón,' 'Marea Baja' (which also has an English translation titled 'Low Tide'), 'Destinado al éxito,' and 'El amor en los tiempos del Facebook.' In recent years, speculation about a potential presidential candidacy in Argentina has emerged. Following a public statement in October 2025 where Gebel did not rule out entering politics, various political and business sectors, including disillusioned members of existing parties and organizations with Christian values, began exploring the formation of a movement called 'Consolidación Argentina' to support a possible presidential bid. As of the information available, Gebel has not officially confirmed his candidacy.
