You are a GREAT God! And a great King above all gods In His hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the hills are His also. The sea is His, for He made it; And His hands formed the dry land.

Jane Hansen Hoyt serves as president/CEO of Aglow International, a global network of more than 200,000 women and men from nearly 170 nations who serve 17 million people a year.
Jane has a personal passion to see both genders restored to the strength and purpose of their godly positions for which they were created. As an international leader and mentor, Jane works to empower women and believes they are created with an innate strength and voice to influence the family, church, and community.
Since becoming president, Jane has steered Aglow toward three key mandates: Reconciling the Genders – teaching and training men and women around the world to better understand the strength and authority of God’s purposes for each gender; Muslim Outreach – Aglow works to unveil the belief structure of Islam to Christians, while loving the Muslim people by reaching out with news of a God who loves them; Supporting Israel – building relationships and alliances with like-minded groups. Also under her leadership, Aglow has “gone global” through the strategic use of e-mail, social networks, and other mass communications. Today, Aglow can rapidly mobilize more than 1 million women to pray, or respond to a crisis.
As a skilled public speaker, Jane addresses conferences around the world, both in Aglow and throughout the broader Christian community. In 2007, Jane moderated a forum on the abuse of women at the first Knesset Christian Allies Caucus Women’s Summit held in Jerusalem. In 2009, she was the first female keynote speaker in Promise Keepers’ 20-year history.
An ordained minister, Jane has been recognized by other international Christian organizations as a global leader. She serves on the Charismatic Leadership Council, the International Coalition of Apostles, the board of the International Reconciliation Coalition, advisory boards for Christians for Israel, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and Morningstar Ministries. She is the author of several books including “Fashioned for Intimacy” and “Journey of a Woman,” and the newly released, “Master Plan.”
Jane is married to Tony Hoyt, former National Director of Leadership of the Future Farmers of America. The couple resides in Washington state.
