Check out what Wikipedia.org has to say about Aglow:
Aglow International is an interdenominational organization of Christian women. Formerly known as Women's Aglow Fellowship, it is one of the largest women's associations in the world, with more than 200,000 members meeting together each month through local Aglow groups in 171 nations. More than 21,000 Aglow leaders worldwide minister in their communities. An estimated 17 million people each year are ministered to through over 1,250 community, neighborhood and workplace groups in the US, as well as 3,101 local groups internationally. The organization was born in 1967 out of the charismatic movement that swept the US in the 1960s. The name Aglow is taken from Romans 12:11.
Although Aglow has an overarching mission and identity, each local group is allowed to develop ministries which are best suited to the immediate needs and social characteristics of its community. Aglow is concerned with every aspect of women's lives, and this is reflected in a diversity of ministry programs. Aglow's activities include small group studies, care (support) groups, retreats, and annual conferences. Aglow women also offer practical gifts ofclothing, food, house cleaning, and babysitting, as well as the mentorship of young women. They impact their communities by reaching out to women in prison, in senior homes, inner city neighborhoods, and mental institutions; to single moms, as well as to the average woman next door.Aglow International is a non-profit organization and is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA). It is headquartered in Edmonds, Washington.
