Pastor Agbala is known for his philanthropic endeavors and unwavering dedication to assisting people in need, mostly Yoruba movie veterans like Iya Gbonkan, Suebebe, Pariolodo, others

The Cleric played a crucial role in assisting Pariolodo and Iya Gbonkan by raising millions of naira to help them complete their houses and purchase a new car.

Also, Pastor Gabriel Agbala supported Actor Suebebe and the late Musiliu Ajikanle in raising funds for their medical and hospital bills during their illnesses.
