Transition is a Journey
I’ve been reflecting on a line from the next video in our Transition and Transformation series: “Transition is a journey – transformation is the Spirit of God within us.” When I think about this, my heart goes straight to the story of Israel in the book of Exodus. Their transition—the long, winding journey from Egypt to the Promised Land—was not just about movement. It was about becoming….

Aglow Conferences Around the Globe in 2026
by Janae Lovern, Aglow International Field Director
The Lord is moving powerfully, rapidly, and incredibly through the nations of the world. It is exciting and breathtaking to see the many ways we are witnessing the family of Aglow (the veterans of the ministry as well as the newcomers and all those in between) revived and freshly charging forward with the vision and purposes God has instilled in our ministry. Some of these moments have taken place in Aglow Conferences worldwide, from Area retreats to national conferences and larger regional conferences.

Keep Pressing Toward the “House of Bread”
by Dave McDaniel, MOI Director, Director of Donor Relations
No matter what you are experiencing in the natural, keep pressing toward the “House of Bread” and experience the “transitions” of the Lord, which are simply His orchestrated good works that He ordained before time that you and I might walk in them. This is not a time to stop, delay, or give up. We are answering the call to rise up, move forward, and take dominion even in the midst of challenges. God will always come through victoriously….

An Image-Bearing, Worshipping Force
by Kathy Sanders, Director of Strategic Resources & Projects
A few months ago, I shared a few keys from Ray Hughes 2011 Conference message. As I went back to look at it again recently, this key struck a chord within me: We are created as an image-bearing, worshipping force to invade the nations of the earth and redeem the sound back to a place of worship, back unto the Throne of God.
The Daring Nun Who Defied the Gestapo
by Sandy Wezowicz, Israel Education Director
In 1943, a 30-year-old nun found herself face to face with one of the most feared Gestapo officers in France. Hidden nearby were dozens of Jewish children whose lives depended on her ability to keep a secret.
Mother Denise Bergen and her fellow sisters had turned their convent into a place of refuge for Jewish children fleeing Nazi persecution. Eventually, 83 children were hidden there.

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.
Global Partnership & A-Company
Global Partnership connects all nations in the global family of Aglow, taking a giant step to acknowledge their commitment to the foundational truths that God has given to Aglow. It is an exciting day! Did you know that Global Partners are the only ones eligible to become Aglow leaders?
Individuals around the world can now join A-Company for a monthly gift of $10 or more. Giving monthly will cause an increase that will create a whole new financial dynamic in this ministry.
Exciting news coming soon!
