GUEST SPEAKER: Caleb Beliel(18 yrs. old). A powerful young man with an intense focus on the LORD, Caleb has won awards through the Assembly of God Fine Arts program for worship and sermons. He will be attending North Central University this fall!

WORSHIP: SOZO Youth Band... is comprised of 13 yr. old keyboard player(Caleb), 16 yr. old drummer(Keith), 16 yr. old guitar player(Ashlyn) and 15 yr. old singer(Byrn) and bass player/mentor Jacob(board member at WDM Open Bible).

"The Esther Aglow board is gearing up for a powerful ministry time after the meeting! We are certainly hopeful that our own members will journey out for this strategic meeting, but are also excited at the other groups that will be invited through all that are involved."

With the potential of a Spiritual explosion…from a mixing of ages, congregations, ministries, pastors and musicians all coming together they ask for an increase of prayer coverage:

-That God's perfect will be done and for His Kingdom plan to succeed without fail.

-Protection for the band and speaker. Caleb will be at an intense counseling camp for the week before the meeting, and will only arrive home one day prior. He has prayed and feels he is supposed to speak anyway. Please agree with us for Divine energy and strength.

-That all divine appointments will be take place and strategies set in motion.

-For a powerful anointing on the ministry time....Esther Aglow desires to be a vehicle to deliver the Jesus of Life!

-Protection of all leadership involved....we need awesome health and NO mishaps from the enemy!

-Oh yeah....FRUIT! And lots of it!

Working together to bring HOPE to the HOPELESS!!!! Worship/Tour/Speaker by director Steve Roe IS 40:31 .... but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength...

WHAT: IOWA LEADERSHIP TRAINING... Thanks so much for spending the day with us. It was great seeing you all: to worship, to be challenged by Barb Skoff, to fellowship

together and pray over you. BUT WHAT HAPPENED???????? On Friday night Barb and Linda were hit by a deer which shattered her window, detained them from their appointed arrival time, and inconvenienced them as they had to get a loner car to return to Minnesota (an EXPLOSION !!!! a DISTRACTION!!!!!). Then the Fort Dodge girls were backed into by a semi as they were stopped at a stop sign outside of Fort Dodge!!!!!(a NUGE??? a SHIFT????) AND the East Iowa team experienced a near miss with a deer on their way home!!!! Mighty prophetic women...what is God telling us for Iowa. Let me know if you have any other Words to share from the LORD. Is this His way of moving us??? It takes a "semi" to get us to shift???? A deer???? WOW!!!!

From the desk of Barb Gidel... -The CD'S from the conference have arrived. Please contact me if you are interested in them(515-368-0066). -REMINDER TO PRAY: Deb Iliff(Iowa's State Prayer Coordinator) and I will be joining Barb Skoff along with 7 other women from Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin in Washington DC November 6th-10th. This is one of the new TRANSFORMATION PROJECTS of Aglow...to establish a presence in Washington DC and build relationships with organizations, ministries, Congressmen, staff, laborers! I am honored to represent you, Iowa AGLOW! Please keep us all in your prayers...that "we have ears to hear and eyes to see", that "His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven." -Several mistakes were made on the directories handed out at the Leadership Training. I will email the updated directories for both East and West to all who have email. Presidents, please make copies for those leaders who are not connected online. As you have changes in your board, PLEASE COMPLETE the "Change of Leadership" form in the back of your Leadership Digest or online at www.aglow.org and email me a copy. I will then revise our directories and keep all updates online. Thanks! Finally, there is a form for your Administrative Secretary to use at your monthly board meetings (also in the back of the Leadership Digest). This makes your reporting very efficient and complete for us. I should be receiving 2 copies of each from you monthly following your meetings.

It is not until we reach the other side that we will see the size, the scope, the dimension of this organization to the LORD. I left the conference after Jane Hanson's Friday morning opening session thinking, "WOW! This is really BIG!!!!!!!!!" If you get the CD'S, make note of the reports from leaders on the field. It is EXCITING! May you be challenged by the explosion going on!!!!!!!!! (HMMMM!!!! EXPLOSION!!!!) LISTEN for His "new" SOUND going forth for Iowa!!!!!! Lets SHIFT!

PLEASE PRINT THIS CONNXION OFF AND SHARE WITH YOUR LEADERSHIP WHO WE ARE NOT ABLE TO CONNECT BY EMAIL. THANKS!

Abundant blessings... Your West IOWA Board, BARB GIDEL BONNIE BLOW ANITA JOHNSON LAVONNE BECKMAN BETTY KOOKER ANNA HANRAHAN
