Dream-The Birth of Gariel
Dream-The Birth of Gariel

God reached across the ocean and connected Pastor Vicky and Me – 2015
I learned that the Fellowship I am a member of now has only one missionary serving in Pakistan because it is considered a “sensitive” nation. Quote: “Please know that Pakistan has long been considered by our mission as a “sensitive” nation. “Sensitive” implies that our pastors, missionaries and churches working in Pakistan accept considerable risk in living, working and ministering to the Pakistani people. “
This does not stop God. He works in His way and I know that He connected Pastor Vicky with me. I believe it is because God prepared me so I would respond. Some reasons why include what follows.
The Original Connection to Pakistan: My daughter married a man from Lahore, Pakistan, and, she for a while embraced the Islam religion. My daughter traveled twice (1998, 2000) to Lahore and my husband followed her there on her second trip to meet his family and visit the Lahore area. I felt in my spirit that I would in some way minister the Good News of Jesus Christ to Pakistanis, and, I began to pray about how this was going to happen.
Dream-The Birth of Gariel: I did not know at the time, but, I now believe God gave me this dream as the answer to my prayer.
In June, 2003, I had a full-colored dream of my giving birth to a tiny baby girl that I give the name Gariel . This tiny baby does not seem to be very hungry. In the dream, I picture myself and this tiny baby sitting on something like a straw bale overlooking a large field, I don’t know what it is I am looking at. Around me, people are moving about.
Even though I did not have understanding of what this dream meant, I went ahead and founded a ministry I named Gariel Ministries.
“Love Gift” and the Birth of Gariel Sunday School in poor Brick Maker villages, Lahore, Pakistan. In early spring, 2015, I sent a small “love gift” for the purpose of purchasing children’s books. I sent this gift using my Paypal account that is set up with the name Gariel Ministries. When Pastor Vicky received the “love gift” from Gariel Ministries, he felt in his spirit that the new Sunday School program should be named Gariel. Now we have named the church that has been built Gariel Church and Sunday School.
Revelation – The Meaning of the “Birthing” Dream:
I truly believe I now know the meaning of the dream God gave to me in 2003. The birthing of the tiny baby represents the birth of Gariel in Pakistan. The idea that the baby is not very hungry represents the poor families this ministry will be serving. The straw bale, large field and people moving about represent the large fields of bricks and the people working to make bricks.
Now, I am committed to serving and ministering to these families in villages near Lahore, Pakistan. This is what God has called and put upon my heart to do. Praise and thank you Lord Jesus!
