We Thank God for You
Summer has finally arrived here in the Pacific Northwest!
My heart is full today of gratefulness. I have been on a two-week break, mostly time spent alone. When you are alone, you think about the goodness of God. I tend to remember all the times when God came through in challenging situations. Significant life-changing times when I was excited because I heard His voice, and He spoke into my life.
I felt like the Lord wanted me to tell all our International leaders of Aglow how much you are loved by God and loved by us here at Aglow Headquarters. Your efforts do not go unnoticed. We appreciate all of you so very much.
I have watched and experienced from afar, that you carry such a servant’s heart and you all serve as unto the Lord. You encourage your leaders in your nations, helping them in the good, the bad, and maybe even the ugly – you have stood by them. You have prayed for them, loved on them, blessed them with training and events, and you see their God-given giftings sometimes even before they see it themselves.
Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians to the church – Every time we think of you, we thank God for you. Day and night, you’re in our prayers as we call to mind your work of faith, your labor of love, and your patience of hope in following our Master, Jesus Christ, before God our Father. It is clear to us, friends, that God not only loves you very much but also has put His hand on you for something special. (MSG)
You are faithful and I know it’s all because of your love for God, your passion for the nations, and your love for the Aglow ministry. Thank you for serving in Aglow – you are the best! - Love, Christie

Making A Difference

Spirit Born, Spirit Led
Our discovery this month is the group activity that is most valued by Christians who are devoted to deepening in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
For many years, “Spirit Born, Spirit Led” has been a tagline for Aglow International. Our President/CEO Jane Hansen Hoyt is known for her trait of waiting on the Holy Spirit to show her how she is to move forward in public as well as private moments. Practicing the Presence of God has been a distinguishing identification trait of Aglow groups, large and small.
A recent study by Barna Group* focused on what corporate activities and practices in groups of Christian believers led to the most meaningful spiritual formation. Not surprisingly, the study found that above all else, Christians want to feel connected to God and to experience the Presence of God in community. Faith practices like worship, prayer, discipleship, and communion can set the atmosphere for one’s engagement with the Spirit of God even more than a thought-provoking message.
Aglow groups large and small experience meaningful spiritual engagement by practicing the Presence of the Lord. With recorded worship music** so readily available, waiting on Him, giving Him time to reveal Himself, and then following His leading is what marks Aglow women and men.
Spirit born, Spirit led for 57 years! Making a Difference!
