Born in Sweden, Caroline Olsson came to the United States at the age of two. In 1996, she came to The Dream Center after hearing her family discuss the work going on there. After her visit, Caroline felt God calling her to volunteer at the Center. Soon, she became involved in the Food Truck Ministry. This was a revolutionary concept to take the food out to the people on a daily basis. Caroline and her best friend started this program when she was just 18 years old and it has since grown into a huge outreach that currently feeds over 50,000 people each month.
Caroline has an amazing heart for the lost. Programs such as the Family Floor, Project Prevention, which is designed to keep children with their parents rather than allowing the state to separate them, and much more have all been birthed out of her desire to see no one ever be lost or any families torn apart. Caroline also leads our Women’s Ministry. She feels that it is a God-given mandate to inspire the women of our church to find their God-given passion to change this world.
In 1999, Caroline wed Dream Center Senior Pastor Matthew Barnett. Together, they have ignited a spark in the inner-city of Los Angeles. The Dream Center is currently reaching over 30,000 people every week for the Lord Jesus Christ, providing food, clothing and other necessities.
In 2001, Matthew and Caroline also became the senior pastors of the Angelus Temple, the birthplace of the Foursquare denomination, giving the Dream Center ministry a much needed sanctuary. Together, the historic Angelus Temple and the Dream Center are reaching large numbers of people in Los Angeles and are truly effecting change in an impoverished area of a hurting city where many believe a large church could never exist at all
