Let me
start by saying that the 2015 Global Conference "As One," in
Indianapolis, was an incredible, game-changing conference! Leadership
directives were handed down, prophetic words were declared and there was
a tangible shift that took place over our entire ministry! This is an
exciting time to be a part of Aglow and as Graham put it, "...Aglow as
we knew it is dying off gradually and God is reinventing Aglow, He's
retooling Aglow, upgrading Aglow and so our DNA is changing as an
organization!" It's that an exciting statement as we step into our 49th
year as a global ministry!!
As
I sought the Lord for the area vision for 2016, He reminded me of
Graham's statement and stated that we (as an area) needed to "reframe
our identity." Aglow has changed over it's 49 years and many people who
knew Aglow way back when, don't see where the ministry is NOW. I believe
that God spoke this to me because we are supposed to share the new identity
of Aglow with those in our communities and in our area. We are an
apostolic movement...we are global...and we are GAMECHANGERS!!
I am truly looking forward to all that God has planned for east central Florida...new lighthouses, communities transformed and lives changed. What an amazing time to be alive!
Many blessings in 2016!
