Aglow International is an interdenominational organization of Christian women and men. Formerly known as Women's Aglow Fellowship, it has 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 the book of Romans 12:11.
