Around the middle of March. 2008, I had a vivid dream in color.

In my dream, Christine Caine(Hillsong)and I were on what seemed like a tour boat traveling through the ocean.We were on the starboard bow, standing against the rail, looking over the railing out into the water.We came upon a huge group of black seals, which were huddled together, what seemed like hundreds or thousands of them, along the coast and among the rocks along the coast.In my dream, above the heads of the seals, I saw a strange word spelled in capital letters.The word was “L-E-S-O-T-H-O”.I knew in my dream that these seals were “LESOTHO” seals.I had never heard of the word, “LESOTHO”, but in my dream, I saw exactly how to spell the word.

In my mind, I wondered, “What is this word ‘LESOTHO’?My thought was that maybe it was a brand name of some kind of clothing or a possibly a corporate business name.

In the center of the group of seals was a larger mother seal, much larger than the rest by at least 2 or 3 times.This mother seal had a pouch like a kangaroo, and in that pouch were hundreds of baby seals in different stages of development.Some were embryos and some were tiny seals, some were red and bloody, some were whitish or grey (as if ill), and some were black.As our boat passed by, Christine and I saw that the mother seal’s pouch became either torn or ripped and all of the baby seals spilled out into the water where they were lost and could not be recovered and could not survive.

As we looked into the face of the mother seal, her face turned into the face of a plain, but beautiful, black woman with smooth, medium brown skin.Her large, brown eyes met ours as tears slowly trickled down her cheeks. She never said a word with her mouth, but her eyes were silently willing us to respond as her very soul was crying out “Help me”.

That was the end of my dream.

When I awoke and remembered the dream, I googled “lesotho seals” and found that Lesotho is a country in Southern Africa, which actually appears to be surrounded by the country of South Africa toward the Eastern coast.I shared the dream with my husband, Mark, who also had never heard of the word or country “Lesotho”.

On March 29th, Mark and I picked Chris Caine up at the airport in Oklahoma City since she was coming to preach at our church the following day.That night, over dinner, I shared my dream with her.At that time, she informed me that she and her husband had been called by God to help stop the practice of human trafficking which is prevalent in the country of Greece and Europe, but that she had not gotten any word from God about Africa.She wondered if perhaps Lesotho may have an issue with human trafficking and perhaps that was why God had put her in my dream to point me in that direction.

The very next day, I googled ‘Lesotho human trafficking’ and found that UNESCO published a 60 page report in 2007 on human trafficking in Lesotho, its root causes and recommendations.

I believe this dream is from God.I’m not sure why God gave me this dream.I do feel compelled to help this mother in my dream since she so vividly implored for my assistance. Is this dream about human trafficking since my friend Christine who was in the dream is involved in stopping human trafficking in other countries?My guess is that someone has been crying out to God for help in Lesotho and that I am supposed to help in some way.So, I am looking for people who are ministering in Lesotho to try to determine what God wants me to do in response to the dream.

So…here I am almost a year later (that is another story) ready to go to the land which God spelled out for me. Please pray for me that I will hear God’s direction for this trip. Pray that I may understand the meaning of the seals and the woman and that I may know how I/we should help.

It is almost time to go to our gate to board for London.

Until next time…..

Love,
Jennifer
