eNews – March Fearlessly Into 2026

by Linda Jones, Director US Field Administration

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, yet in Aglow, I find that God always has kept His hand in my back, whispering in my ear, You can do this, Linda, because I am with you.

I want to take this opportunity as we leave 2025 and march fearlessly into 2026, to speak a word of encouragement over you. I love that Jesus took the time to speak this over the disciples in John 16:33. He said, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me you might have peace.” No matter what we face in 2026, we can walk through it in peace because Jesus is always with us. He never leaves us. And He is the Prince of Peace.

Jesus went on to say, “In the world you shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” Most of us have lived long enough to know that in life, situations come up. Hard things. Difficult things. Sad things. Loss. Yet, here is Jesus having spoken to us from a place of peace – be of good cheer? He spoke to us from the very center of who He was, is, and always will be, our Overcomer who has gone before us into 2026 and beyond, making a way for us when there didn’t seem to be a way.

As you face 2026, be assured that Jesus is with you. He sees you. And what you are doing for the sake of His Kingdom matters. No matter the struggles, He has a plan, and it is for your good. No matter the places of lack, He will carry you to the other side with more than enough. He stood there – speaking to His disciples, yes – but also speaking to each one of us who were yet to come. These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me you might have peace. He is also talking about your place in the ministry of Aglow.

Stay the course, be brave, and answer the call, you know He is calling you. Does He have His in your back whispering in your ear, YOU can do this, because I am with you! Stay in Christ, where He has overcome every hindrance you will face. His plans for you are filled with victory!

Merry Christmas and much love to you,
