Dear Friends and Prayer Partners,
As we prepare for our upcoming journey to Paris, we feel like we're entering a war zone. Living in Israel, we could say, "So what else is new?!"
The reason we're making this journey is to raise up French-speaking believers who will become fishermen to help bring the
Jewish people home, according to Jeremiah 16:16 and also to visit synagogues and encourage French Jews to make Aliyah.
The L-rd called us to this assignment by giving Carolyn several very specific dreams about Paris. Some may discount the meaning of dreams, but throughout Scripture, G-d often spoke to His people through dreams. Jacob dreamt of a ladder with angels ascending and descending. Joseph had dreams as a youth that led to betrayal by his brothers and yet the L-rd used Joseph to deliver His people from the famine and bring them to Goshen in Egypt. The L-rd appeared to Solomon in a dream and asked him what he wished, to which he replied, "Give me wisdom to rule Your people." Daniel 1:17 says that Daniel understood all kinds of dreams and visions. Joel 2:28 says, "In the last days I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh and your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions."
Now we're in no way saying that Carolyn is like these prophets of old! But here are some brief portions from these dreams from last fall:
Awakening from a dream I understood that we were to enter or leave France via Germany. (The day after this dream an intercessor called to say that she saw us in France and we'd either enter or leave France via Germany! Now that's a confirmation!)
In one dream I saw us at the Eiffel Tower blowing the shofar but I heard that the warfare before doing this would be extremely intense. (So we bought a purse-sized shofar so that we could accomplish the mission!)
I saw a map of Paris with many dots in it; a bit west of the city center was to be our focus area. Avoid the far northern area, the L-rd said. (We later found out that we'll be staying with two intercessors - a bit west of the city center - and that the far northern area of Paris is primarily Muslim.)
I saw arches in Paris where we're to stop and pray. We looked up the word for arch in the Hebrew Bible and found that one of the meanings is - עליה - Aliyah.
