We started this group at the very beginning of the pandemic, in April 2020. Quay, who is a prayer leader in Operation Exodus USA, shared that the Lord had reminded her of a prayer initiative we did in the Baltic\u2013Northern countries in 2016 \u2013 the Baltic Sea Prayer. Then we prayed that the sea routes and harbors in the Baltic Sea region would be cleansed and prepared for Aliyah.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-634 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pilgrim.elida.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Bineresa-2-1-ostersjin-frUn-Gotlands-istkust-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"535\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pilgrim.elida.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Bineresa-2-1-ostersjin-frUn-Gotlands-istkust-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pilgrim.elida.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Bineresa-2-1-ostersjin-frUn-Gotlands-istkust-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pilgrim.elida.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Bineresa-2-1-ostersjin-frUn-Gotlands-istkust-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pilgrim.elida.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Bineresa-2-1-ostersjin-frUn-Gotlands-istkust-1536x922.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pilgrim.elida.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Bineresa-2-1-ostersjin-frUn-Gotlands-istkust-2048x1229.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>The Baltic Sea from the east coast of Gotland, Sweden\u2019s biggest island.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>For me there was something prophetic in what Quay reminded us of. Seven years after the Baltic Sea Prayer, God is opening an opportunity to pray for the return of the Jewish people all the way from Sweden to Israel, via the Skagerrak, the North Sea, the English Channel, the Bay of Biscay, the Atlantic Ocean, through the Straits of Gibraltar and all the way across the Mediterranean to Israel!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We prepared a flyer that we sent out internationally along with some information. We started having meetings on Zoom every Wednesday, with Stefan attending as much as he could, to plan and pray. We opened a channel on the Telegram app. We prayed for Elida and the voyage in different contexts.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And so, the intercessors began to register their interest in joining: from Sweden, the Netherlands, the UK, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Cyprus and Israel, even the USA and Singapore!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But it was not only participants in the voyage that signed up, but brothers and sisters who wanted to pray from their homes, as well. In the first information that went out, I wrote that it would be good to have the same number of intercessors as participants onboard, about 25 people. And even better if there were 50. Now there are almost 180 intercessors on Telegram!<\/p>\n<p>What grace! We could see that the Lord goes before us, He opens doors, He calls people.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-738 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pilgrim.elida.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Skarmavbild-2023-09-21-kl.-01.20.16-213x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"666\" height=\"938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pilgrim.elida.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Skarmavbild-2023-09-21-kl.-01.20.16-213x300.png 213w, https:\/\/pilgrim.elida.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Skarmavbild-2023-09-21-kl.-01.20.16-726x1024.png 726w, https:\/\/pilgrim.elida.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Skarmavbild-2023-09-21-kl.-01.20.16-768x1083.png 768w, https:\/\/pilgrim.elida.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Skarmavbild-2023-09-21-kl.-01.20.16-1089x1536.png 1089w, https:\/\/pilgrim.elida.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Skarmavbild-2023-09-21-kl.-01.20.16.png 1276w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" \/><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>The flyer for the voyage with Elida created by Ebenezer<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Philip Holmberg<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Ebenezer Operation Exodus<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>If you want to continue reading, you can go directly to Part 3 here: <a href=\"https:\/\/pilgrim.elida.se\/en\/prayer-journey-for-aliyah-part-3\/\">Part 3<\/a><br \/>\n<\/i><em>Or if this was the first one you read and want to get to the beginning, click here: <a href=\"https:\/\/pilgrim.elida.se\/en\/prayer-journey-for-aliyah-part-1\/\">Part 1<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you want to follow us at Elida on our social media and see more posts, you can click on the following links: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/elida.sailing.for.jesus\/\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sailingforjesus\/\">Instagram<\/a><br \/>\nOr if you want to go to our main website: <a href=\"https:\/\/elida.se\/en\/\">elida.se\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prayer journey for Aliyah \u2013 Part 2\u00a0 An interesting event that took place a week before the meeting in the parliament, and before Elida\u2019s board meeting deciding on Pilgrim 2023, was a Zoom meeting for Ebenezer\u2019s Task Force Ships group.
