From the Call
to the Company
This movement didn’t begin as an idea.
It was born from a dream — a prophetic encounter Lou Engle has shared many times.
In the dream, a woman came to Lou and asked, “Do you have a dream?”
Lou said, “No.”
She replied, “I do. Three words: Celeste. Sirens. Starbucks.”
She then added, “Celestial revelation will lead the next worldwide revival.”
That word struck us.
We believe this dream isn’t just about a person — it’s about a pattern.
A prophetic progression:
For 40 years, Lou Engle and Chris Berglund have walked together in covenant. Lou has carried the mantle of national and global mobilization through The Call, leading a generation into fasting and prayer. Chris has carried the weight of heavenly revelation and the priesthood of Melchizedek. Together, they model something we believe is critical for this hour:
Covenant opens the door.
And not just for them — for us.
“I have called you friends…” — John 15
In John 15, Jesus says:
“No longer do I call you servants... I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.”
What if the assignment on your life — the thing you long to give yourself to — is waiting on covenant friendships to unlock it?
“You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit…” (John 15:16)
Company 318 is a people formed in friendship — not just with God, but with one another. We believe the fruit that remains will come from those who are deeply connected, truly known, and spiritually aligned in love.
FROM SIRENING TO CONNECTION
For years, Lou Engle has been the siren — sounding a trumpet across the Body of Christ. But in this next movement, we believe we are moving from the siren to the net — from the lone cry to the connected company.
That’s what the Starbucks part of the dream speaks to.
When Leah heard Lou share the dream, she carried it in her heart for months, asking the Lord, “What does ‘Starbucks’ mean?” One day, the Lord impressed her to look up how many Starbucks locations existed in the U.S. The answer: 15,900 — distributed across every state.
Later that day, she shared this with Chris. Without hesitation, he asked,
“What’s 318 x 50?”
She pulled out her calculator. The answer? 15,900.
Chris was stunned — not because the number matched, but because he had been praying into Genesis 14 for years, asking the Lord what it would mean to raise up 318 trained ones “born in the house.”
“When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, 318 of them, and went in pursuit...”
– Genesis 14:14
Chris believed that the number 318 wasn’t just historical — it was prophetic. A blueprint for a priestly people, trained and trusted, ready for kingdom assignments. And it’s no coincidence that after this battle, Abraham encounters Melchizedek — the priest of God Most High.
The number wasn’t random.
It was revelation.
Now, the dream made sense:
Celeste — heavenly revelation
Sirens — the call that awakens
Starbucks — a connected, distributed network
IT ONLY TOOK 15,900 STARBUCKS TO BECOME A HOUSEHOLD NAME
What if it only takes 15,900 prayer groups — 318 in each state — to make union, communion, and kingdom life a household reality?
Company 318 is that unfolding dream — a net of covenant friends, priestly people, and spiritual homes, forming across the nation.
This is a movement of friends.
This is the net we’re forming.
Welcome to the Company.
What began with a dream has become a divine strategy — and a covenant family answering the call.
