This past July 31, 2015, we had a wedding in our family. You know, there is nothing quite like the anticipation of a wedding. A certain sense of expectation and excitement fills the air from the moment the couple becomes engaged right up to the event itself. For some reason, that awareness and the accompanying excitement are never far from your thinking.

It begins with the big items like selecting the venue. Will it be large enough to hold all the family and friends who will be on the invitation list? This is a time to consider strongly the requirements of marriage and the things God has to say about marriage.

Enlarge the place of your tent...lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes! That was a statement Graham Cooke made this past week as several of us sat around the conference table with him. I asked him to enlarge on that thought. This is what he said.

“Aglow has a history with God that is unusual. Aglow is in 170 nations and has earned a level of trust with God.  You have earned the right to be here.  You have planted things out of nothing. Aglow is a stand-alone group and you have done it the hard way. You know how to pray. You know how to battle. You have been around 48 years and you are still here.”

When the helper comes…he will testify of me. John 15:26

I never cease to be amazed at what God has wrought in the earth through a work He initiated back in 1967. Aglow International celebrates 48 years of ministry this year and continues to reach into the nations of the world to Testify of Him!

The level of commitment, by both women and men, to the ministry of Aglow around the world is unprecedented.
