Red Dress Day
Every year on May 5th, people across nations wear red—a dress, a scarf, a ribbon—to honor missing and trafficked indigenous women and to raise awareness of their plight. The Red Dress day movement began in Canada about 15 years ago, and its impact continues to grow. Red stands as a bold, visual reminder that these women matter, their stories matter, and their freedom matters…

Prayer and Evangelism
by Linda Jones, Director US Field Administration
We have often said that Aglow was and is built upon the foundations of prayer and evangelism. We are known for prayer in the nations, and we are known for evangelism. We are also familiar with the words of Jesus in Mark 16:15, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.” And, I believe it was Brother Andrew who said, “And, use words if necessary.”…

Hell Lost Another One…I Am Free!
by Dave McDaniel, MOI Director, Director of Donor Relations
Easter holds a special place in my heart. I have always enjoyed Easter and what it represents to me, but especially considering my history and testimony, and for the purpose of this time together, the short version.
I never tire of speaking about what God has done in my life. A rebellious prodigal running as fast as I could from God, I was as far from God as I could have ever been. My grandparents and parents were pastors…I knew the truth. I just didn’t like religion, and I didn’t understand relationship. Religion was the model I grew up with…

To Speak or Not Speak in Tongues
by Kathy Sanders, Director of Strategic Resources and Projects
As you may be aware, Aglow International was birthed during the Charismatic Renewal in the 60’s. People were hungry for more of God, and this fresh, new wave of interest in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit was the catalyst that propelled many into a deeper place in their relationship with God. Because Father Dennis Bennett, an Episcopal Priest, was filled with Holy Spirit in 1960, he shared his experience in the Church he led in California. It wasn’t long before he was asked to leave, and he moved to Seattle, WA….
Passover, Jesus, and the Night of Redemption
In this episode of Israel Unveiled, Sandy reflects on her first experience at a Jewish Passover Seder and the profound spiritual parallels she discovered between the Exodus story and the redemptive work of Jesus.

While there are different interpretations of ‘lift up a standard,’ just picture this with me for a moment! What if the standard is the Lord’s banner – His flag to claim and mark His territory in the earth? And what if that banner is us??? We are the mark, the demonstration of His dominion in the earth! So, just as we have been raising the banner of Jesus, He is saying, ‘These are My people, and these are My nations!’ When the enemy sees this banner, he knows he has no authority here. He knows it’s time for him to back off and leave us alone! Leave our nation alone!…

In Judges 7, God used just 300 men to defeat a vast enemy—an army as unlikely and humble as a barley loaf. Yet in God’s hands, what seemed small became a mighty sword. Aglow International is calling forth a modern-day Gideon’s 300—300 people who will give $300/month through our A-Company sustained giving program. Your giving becomes a weapon in God’s hand, striking down lack and releasing supernatural provision for the nations.
We honor every A-Company partner already giving faithfully—whether $10 or more. Your faith fuels this movement. Now, we’re asking: Is God calling you to step into a greater level of Kingdom impact?
Join Gideon’s 300. Help build a house of bread. Together, we’ll turn lack into abundance and carry the harvest forward.
