Prophet Gad is perhaps the most influential leader/organizer to emerge within the second generation of Rastafari leaders. Gadman, as he was often referred to as, was responsible for bringing about a highly efficient and organized branch of the EWF, Local 15, which was to soon be transformed into an independent community to be known as the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Among the features that Gadman was able to introduce successfully within this mansion was a proper system of membership, registration and dues collection in addition to a highly structured and pragmatic repatriation scheme that sent individuals who were deemed ready to settle in Shashamene Ethiopia. To date the Twelve Tribes has the largest community of repatriated Rastafarians in Ethiopia largely due to Prophet Gad's hands-on engagement in the matter of Repatriation.

 

The Prophet Gad emerged at a time in the Rastafari Movement when reggae music was developing and many of the emerging artistes tended to gravitate towards this mansion. Unlike the Nyahbinghi and Bobo Shanti, Gadman was able to achieve a highly efficient financial base through which activities could be identified, and carried through by virtue of his strong leadership. Gadman also made significant strides in expanding the Movement's influence internationally, particularly in Europe, North America and the Caribbean. In fact, the TTI has active membership as far as New Zealand.
