Aglow Mid-Atlantic Region

As many of you know Jeff Wright's Celebration of Life took place on Saturday, 27 July. If you have the time please listen to this beautiful representation of this man of God.

Nancy McDaniel, Aglow Hqs Prayer Director sent:
We, Aglow, want to honor him richly. He has been such a blessing to Aglow intercessors. He has served the Kingdom of God in America with such integrity and humility. The Fruit of the Spirit flowing through him with the wisdom and knowledge of God opened the way for so much nation-transforming prayer in the streets of our Capitol. The fruit of his ministry will continue to multiply throughout the century. ❤️

I have received sad news today about a friend of Aglow’s in Washington, DC, Jeff Wright.

For many years the monthly Aglow prayer journeys into DC connected with Jeff Wright. He would meet each group with his large van and drive them around to strategic places in DC to pray.

In the beginning years groups mainly were driven to different embassies and a few strategic places to pray. The longer our relationship continued, it seemed each group had other places they wanted to go to and Jeff always obliged.

Jeff started a Church in DC in March 1983 specifically to encourage believers to pray for the government. We can certainly testify that Jeff did that with exceeding Grace.

Well done, Jeff. We will miss you and will see you again!

DON'T MESS WITH OUR KIDS
This was a prayer event that took place on Saturday, April 13, 2024 at all 50 U.S. Capitols. The event was spearheaded by Lou Engle's Ministries. To my knowledge, there were over 300 ministries involved all over the United States. It took place on 4/13 because it was taken from the scripture in the Book of Esther 4:13, including three days of fasting. I went to the Capitol of my location in Raleigh, NC. As you can tell from the photos, it was a well attended event. In fact, I couldn't capture everyone in attendance from I was standing. I was very pleased to see a lot of different people groups and people of all ages. The prayers were prayed by young teens as well as older adults, and they were all awesome prayers. I also want to give a "shout out" to our Raleigh Police Department who were there in great numbers (the pictures don't show all of them) protecting us on the side of the Capitol where we met. Of course we were not there without opposition, and that group of protestors were across the street. We had our microphone system set up, and we could hear the prayers and we also had some of them downloaded on our phones so we could keep up with the speakers for the most part. One disturbing downfall was that the protestors had bull horns trying to drown us out. They used very foul language and called us every derogatory name you can come up with out of satan's arsenal of language. They tried to glorify themselves by saying things like being gay was right and being q***r was good. But as I stated, we could still hear and agree with all the prayers in unity. Besides, there were much more with us than there were with them. We out numbered them by far. All praise to God. The Holy Spirit revealed to me that there were an angelic host encamped round about us. Before we closed, we turned around to face them and stretched our hands towards them and prayed for them. To God be the glory for this awesome event of prayer in unity all over America.

Dear Mid-Atlantic Leaders,

I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration with your family and friends. In the midst of the turmoil, we see all around us, we still are a blessed people with much to be thankful for. Blessings to each of you as we shift gears and prepare to get ready for the celebration of our Lord and Savior's birth. What an awesome GIFT God gave to the world.

We sent out the dates for our First Fruits Gathering quite some time ago, which are February 16 - 18, departing on the 19th. I truly apologize that we haven't gotten back to you with the rest of the important information, regarding the location and the registration fee. Unfortunately, we have had unreasonable difficulty securing a venue for our event. We do believe, by the grace of God, that we have finally found one that will meet our needs to the satisfaction of International regarding legalities. We will talk about this at First Fruits, because it actually affects all of us. Again, I sincerely apologize for the lateness of the hour but, hopefully and prayerfully, we will have the rest of the information for you before Christmas.

Thank you for your patience, and know that you are dearly loved and appreciated.

Regional Director

Mid-Atlantic Aglow Regional Gathering 2023

Aren't we glad that the Sleeping Giant Billy Graham made reference to in 1975 isn't asleep anymore? The Sleeping Giant referred to as the Native Americans are wide-awake. They are sweeping the nation with the good news of revival and unity, as we experienced at our Mid-Atlantic Regional Gathering. Dr Nigiel Bigpond and Chief Anne Richardson were our weekend speakers.

Chief Anne Richardson, the Chief of the Rappahannock Tribe in Virginia, established the Protocol at the opening of our Gathering, which is customary for Native Americans. When we come into a region, we honor the Native Americans who were the first inhabitants.

She reminded us that old strategies won't work for the season we are in now. We must declare and decree a position and it shall come to pass. Even though the world is dark, we are light, and we are to occupy until Jesus comes. We are in a season of restoration and wealth transfer. We need to release a sound that will break the backbone of evil over this nation. Believe all is possible through Him, and America will be saved. America is to evangelize the world. We are to rise, shine and be lights. When we speak and pray, angels take those words and go forth commanding them with authority.
As stated, Protocol is very important with Native Americans, and we learned a lot about how they see protocol which gave us a greater respect for it. Consequently, Dr. Bigpond gave gifts to Gwen and Alice.

He told us that unity is how you win the war. He reminded us of Isaiah 43:18, which is to forget the former things nor consider the things of old. We will win if we learn to go forward. Don't look back and leave grudges behind. Dr. Bigpond sang in YUCHI "Always go forward, never look back. He said we are to be leaders with three desires: to love and be loved, have the desire to exist, and will walk in the new. We are to live in the glory of God. The glory is joy, majesty, and it doesn't get sad or angry. In the glory, you have a new heart and the heart of stone is removed. It's time to get ‘in’ our new self and go to the throne room first with a pure heart. Dr. Bigpond reminded us to not become anxious and pray breakthrough prayers because breakthrough for the USA is coming. We are to call forth what is true, just, honorable, pure, lovely and excellent.

Dr. Bigpond said that women are warriors, fierce and a force to be reckoned with. Sometimes he feels sorry for satan. It's time to step into our destinies; to step into the Kingdom of God. God is smiling. He sees what we're doing as beautiful, and He appreciates it. 2023 is the Year of the Lord for change, progress, new beginnings, growing together, being FOR one another and making progress together.

We must change and step out of our comfort zones. Spiritual laziness causes us to stay in a comfort zone and fear stepping out. We've got to keep on STEPPING. There's a greater place than we are now. We have the authority, and we can't just play church. The devil likes that. In order to step into your destiny, you must have great faith, trust, obedience and courage to step into your destiny. God chose you! How many closed doors do we have to go through? As many as are necessary. Dr. Bigpond's final words to us were: STEP OUT, STEP UP, STEP OVER AND STEP IN, into your destiny. Those four steps have left a lasting impression on all of us and have given us something we MUST work toward. He also said health, wealth and miracles have been released among us.

Amy Keziah, our Millennial Resource Person, and the First Millennial session for the Mid-Atlantic Region.

Amy led the two-hour session, concluding with a panel for Q & A in the final hour. During our last session on Sunday morning, all the Millennials were called to the front for prayer by the SPCs. This was just the beginning of our outreach to the Millennials. There's much more to come as the Holy Spirit leads.

Our takeaway for the Region was that we left Revived, Refreshed, and Renewed.

Dear Mid-Atlantic Region. As you know we are approaching our Regional Gathering on August 4-6. We are excited about coming together in person again, since we have not met since before Covid. As you have seen our brochure, and many of you have registered for the conference, I want to remind you that this year, we also have a session for our Millennials. The Lord has put it on our hearts to reach out to the Millennials, as we need them, and they need us, from one generation to another. Their session will be Saturday afternoon, August 5th, from 2:00 - 4:00 pm. Amy Keziah will be leading the session with a five person panel of a mixed variety of people. So far we have ONLY two Millennials registered. I KNOW there must be many of us who know Millennials. We as leaders, have talked about it and prayed about it, and believed God for Millennials to show up at the Gathering. Please, please help us in getting more Millennials involved, not just for us, but for them. Whether there be one or two, Amy will minister as though there is a room full. Praise God for this open door in Jesus' name. Whatever you do, whether you know any Millennials or not, please pray for this part of our Gathering. We will not despise small beginnings.

Gwen Campbell, Jennifer Hartman, Elaine Horne, Sandra Coombs and Flo Thorpe visited the Capital on Thursday and prayed at the Legislation Building in Raleigh NC.
Jennifer blew the shofar in the parking lot to seal in their prayers and call the city to worship the Lord. The prayer time was powerful and anointed because HE showed up as they made decrees and proclamations over NC as well as our nation. They had favor everywhere they went that day and were well received, to God be the glory. Even got to pray over some of the staff.

The Mid-Atlantic Region State Prayer Coordinators were in Washington, DC to pray for our Nation. They visited the Family Research Council, David’s Tent, Faith and Liberty, the U.S. Capitol (to include the House Chaplain) and prayed over DC with Jeff Wright. Additionally, they met with Faith McDonnell, Persecuted Church and Claire Lopez, Islam. And, as part of their assignment for ‘Feeding the River’ - they visited the Potomac River to pray and made declarations.

The Mid-Atlantic Aglow Region's theme for 2023 is "Bonding Together." Hebrews 10: 24-25 "Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of His return is drawing near." (NLT) Being in unity, or one accord, is spiritual warfare that ushers forth Holy Spirit and Heaven's armies. This absolutely crushes the enemy's forces. God's Kingdom cannot thrive where there is division. Evil cannot thrive where there is unity. Therefore, the Mid-Atlantic Region will be used to unify and fortify God's Kingdom.

Next year in Jerusalem! Save the date!

FAITH OVER FEAR:
Faith will make you proceed. Fear will always make you recede. Faith always propels you forward. Fear freezes your decision-making ability and causes you to recede or retreat. Fear and faith both fight to increase and expand. If you are standing still or having a difficult time moving forward, consider whether or not you are being influenced or attacked by fear. Make the decision that you will see through the eyes of faith and proceed forward with God to advance His Kingdom and bring Heaven to Earth.
