If you were not able to be physically present in Washington, D.C. at the Aglow Conference this year, I hope you have taken the opportunity to watch the webcast which will remain up through the end of the year, or download the sessions from the Aglow store.

Soon after I accepted a job at the Aglow Headquarters, I felt the Lord showed me that each Aglow Lighthouse is a gift to the community. I’ve repeated this often down through the years because I believe it to be true. What each Lighthouse brings to the community is priceless.

It is time to Register for Conference! Believe me, you will want to be DC this year for our National Conference. A recent email from a leader in the field triggered this because I realized others might not be aware of this, so I am taking this time to remind you. The question from the leader was – can Aglow funds be used to help send leaders to an Aglow conference? The answer is a resounding YES! And this is why:

Recently, Marilyn Thiessens, President of Utah Area Team, sent us news of the birth of a new Neighborhood Lighthouse in Utah. I believe that you will be encouraged by what Marilyn shared.

This last week, we celebrated Mother’s Day, and I really began to think about Moms – especially young Moms. I thought back to when I first started in Aglow.

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.”

Recently, I took the opportunity to revisit the job descriptions for each position on Lighthouse Teams and Area Teams. It was amazing to reread and see the identity and anointing contained in the opening paragraphs. As I read through several of the prayers that each team member is to pray over herself, I realized that this should be revisited often.

One of my granddaughters-in-law posts reels on Facebook regularly of her son, my great-grandson, Bowen. He will be turning two this month and is a happy child.

I love Lamentations 3:22-23. It says, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning and great is Your Faithfulness.” 

When I think about how different my life would be without Aglow, I find myself overwhelmed with gratefulness. Sure, there were hard days. Anything worthwhile will be filled with situations that seem impossible at times.
