Young Mothers in Aglow
by Linda Jones, Director US Field Administration

The Fullness of Joy Requirements
by Dave McDaniel, MOI Director, Director of Donor Relations
Have you ever been around someone who displays true joy?

One of the beautiful Core Values of Aglow International is Freedom — “Standing firm against everything that enslaves” (Galatians 5:1). This value doesn’t just sit on a page; it moves us. It compels us to open our eyes to injustice, to lift our voices in prayer, and to believe boldly that every person held captive—physically, emotionally, or spiritually—can be restored to wholeness.

“Our ‘Tools For the Harvest’ Bookmarks have been designed to help you bring in the harvest! There are key scriptures for Salvation, Baptism in the Holy Spirit, and Healing to help you share these life-changing truths! Sold in packs of 20 – now through May 22nd.
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.
