Part of an international network of caring members

Aglow International Inc. began in the United States of America in 1967 with four women who expressed a desire to meet together as Christians without denominational boundaries.

The first general meeting was held in Seattle, Washington, USA, close to where Aglow’s Worldwide headquarters exists today. The meeting drew more than 100 women and it didn't take long for women who attended that first meeting to invite their neighbors and friends to gatherings in other communities surrounding Seattle. As the word spread, new groups began springing up around Washington State, and within months, groups formed in other U.S. states.

By 1972, more than 60 local groups held monthly meetings around the U.S. By 1973, Aglow was moving onto the global stage as fellowships began in Canada, and New Zealand. The Netherlands followed in 1974, and today, Aglow includes both men and women and spans the globe. It continues to reach out to people of every creed, colour, and culture. Over 4,600 Aglow groups meet worldwide. More than 21,000 Aglow leaders minister in their communities and nations to an estimated 17 million people each year, and its membership has now grown to an amazing two million.

The backbone of Aglow continues to be monthly meetings where groups gather to support one another and reach out to their communities. Aglow wants to help women & men to come into their destiny with the LORD and to evangelize not-yet-believers and bring them to the LORD.
