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.

The Zip Code Club is a children-focused prayer group whose mission is to learn how to pray. Formed in conjunction with a trip across Pennsylvania, it was birthed because we were looking for the next generation of leaders to bring up in Aglow.

Aglow International, a worldwide ministry, began in 1967. Isn’t it exciting that we will celebrate our 60th anniversary next year!

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 was recently in a time of worship with a group of Aglow leaders. Though I was aware of those around me, everything else faded as the Presence of the Lord became the only thing that mattered.

In 2017, I had a sense that change was coming, and Lighthouse groups must be prepared to be ready to facilitate the change. 
One of the first steps we took after GameChangers and LifeChangers, two key leader development courses taught by Graham Cooke, was to write Fireside Chats for GameChanging Truths.

In 1979, the September/October issue (#42) of Aglow Magazine featured a small section on page 11 that announced, “Aglow is growing! The following groups were affiliated in June-July 1979.” It is quite amazing to see how far and wide the Lord moved in Aglow in the 12 years after Aglow started in 1967!

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.” 

As a child growing up in the 1990s, there was a lot of information thrown at us very quickly as technology “grew up” with us.
