The Sound of NW Florida

"Bravo, God, Bravo!
God and all angels shout, "Encore!"
In awe before God's visible power."
Psalm 29:1
(The Message)

About 35 women gathered at "Times of Refreshing" outside of DeFuniak Springs on April 1 & 2nd for an amazing weekend. We knew we had come to release a unique sound over our area, which extends from Tallahassee to Pensacola.

We knew we would release a sound of praise and offer a sound of worship. In addition, what we heard was the sound of canes and walkers being cast aside, chains breaking and shouts of joy.

What an amazing weekend.


A dance of victory with one who came in on a walker and left with no need of it!
God is awesome!

NW Florida - THE SOUND

Pensacola Aglow - Tea Time

The Pensacola Aglow Community Lighthouse held a beautiful Thanksgiving Tea Party on Thursday, Nov. 19. Each table was beautifully decorated with delicate china cups/ plates, colorful linen napkins. Fresh roses were attractively arranged on each table. We were escorted table by table to a buffet of the most delicious goodies you have ever tasted.Candlelight, violin and keyboard music played in the background...The tea was imported from England and women who were servers came to each table with a choice of three teas. The main point is that God was honored as 78 women attended, many first timers...They had to turn some women away who called at the last minute as the room in the church fellowship hall would not hold any more tables.

The President, Nita gave a very good presentation of what Aglow is about. Linda, an Aglow officer and a former teacher, gave a short history of the beginning of "tea time" in England and ended up with why we had 4 grains of corn at each plate to represent how some of the early pilgrims to America survived their second Thanksgiving here. Two women gave short testimonies. Ruth, also a former teacher, told how she and her women are reaching those in jail and how rewarding it is to pray for their salvation and healing; Ruth is coming on as a new board member. Pat, a newcomer to Aglow who attended her first Aglow Conference in Louisville, gave a very compelling testimony explaining how she fell into a curio cabinet at her home when she got up one night this past Feb. feeling dizzy. The shattered glass cut her throat, voice box and she could have bled to death. Delicate surgery was done immediately. She was told she might never speak again...but her voice was clear and not damaged. It was truly a miracle testimony. Each speaker did an outstanding job.

When the event was over no woman wanted to get up and leave...the presence of the Lord was there...friend brought friend. We are so happy about the progress of the Pensacola Aglow since 8 from there attended the Aglow Conference and they plan to meet monthly now. There was so much talent in the room the night of the candlelight tea party.Those of us on the Area Leadership Team said we were overwhelmed with what was accomplished by those Aglow leaders who worked so hard to put on the Thanksgiving Tea.. It was outstanding. Awesome. Amazing. And for me it was a fun event!!! I believe God was pleased with the creativity expressed and the Christian fellowship that was experienced.

Possessing the Kingdom Together!

This letter is from Joy Green, Southeast Director, Aglow International

What an amazing time to be alive! If we refer to our manual (the Bible) we find that the Lord loved to show up when the people of God became desperate for His presence. As we observe the world around us crumbling, let us look to the Author and Finisher of our faith. There is only one solution to our problems personally, corporately and as a nation – the Lord Jesus Christ. YOU are the solution (the salt) in the earth! It is a time for boldness in our prayers, in our homes and in our gatherings. We want to provoke the world to jealousy. As your neighbor looks for answers, give him Jesus. Let’s look from a heavenly perspective. All the earth is groaning to see the sons of God arise! So arise daughters of Zion and thresh your enemy. SEE him under your feet and dance on his head. Victory is assured – press in for the prize. Cast down all discouragement, weariness and unbelief. Let the confessions of your mouth change the atmosphere around you – let us believe the word of God again.

I am thrilled to announce a new Florida State Prayer Coordinator. Her name is Denise Ford and she resides in St. Petersburg, Florida. Some of you may remember her on the forum at our regional gathering in Orlando. She has a heart for the younger women and shared some tips on effective evangelism to reach them.

Many of you are aware that our international president, Jane Hansen-Hoyt has been asked to open the conference for Promise Keepers July 31, 2009 in Boulder, Colorado. It will be a gathering of men and women with the theme, “Time to Honor”. Women, the fathers of our faith and the poor will be honored. Please ask the Lord if you are to be in attendance and cover this event in prayer. What a day to be alive in the kingdom! Go to www.promisekeepers.org to register and see how to pray.

The theme of our upcoming Aglow conference October 22-25, 2009 is “Lift Your Voice!” Let the voice of the Lord shake the earth. Gather your women, rent buses and vans, have garage sales – get to conference! It will be an amazing time together. As I participated in an outdoor event for the National Day of Prayer in downtown Tampa, I was humbled to lift up the name of Jesus in the public square. There was a sense of unity, humility and authority. I expect to see amazing results from that day. I am convinced that this is the church’s greatest hour.

I leave you with my summary of Ephesians 2 – We are dead together! Alive together! Raised up together! Sit in heavenly places together! Possessing the kingdom together!

The time is now – will you answer the call?

With love and passion,
Joy Green
Southeast Director
