Jan Wright,

Janet Wright accepted the position of President of Aglow International of North Dakota.. Jan has been involved in Aglow for several years.  Most recently serving as the President of the Jamestown Aglow Lighthouse.  Born  in Minnesota, Jan's family quickly moved to North Dakota because of more farm land.  Jan graduated from Edgeley High School and holds a B.S. from NDSU.  She has one daughter, Courtney, who is attending Jamestown College.  Jan's late husband Jim, was a District Judge in North Dakota..                                

For over 30 years, Jan has been a Real Estate Broker in Jamestown and owns and operates several Real Estate offices.                            

Jan is typically a woman of few words, but when she was asked what she does to relax, the words flowed out of her like warm honey on a sunny day.  "I love horticulture; you know, planting and propagating different plants.  I so enjoy starting little ones and raising them up.  Actually, I love any aspect of raising plants.  I think it comes from my farming background of working with my grandparents and parents on the farm.  I love to feel the soil in my hands,"                                 

She also loves to train plants into a standard, like a topiary.  Jan uses red worms from Australia in her compost.  She has 120-130 different types of hosta, some of which she has been collecting for over 20-30 years.  Hostas of various sizes grow in Jan's backyard (which is straight up)... from miniatures, to medium sized to some which are three to four feet high.  She enjoys new varieties and also she sells hosta and hybrid coleus.  She has about 100 varieties of these.  Even though flowers are her favorite, she also plants a few vegetables so that she can "pick something fresh to eat for dinner" .

Jan ministered to women and men in prison for many years.  Her strong desire to bring wholeness to women is what first attracted her to Aglow.  She says "I believe Aglow International is a ministry where we can learn of the inheritance which Christ has for us and taste the freedom which that brings.

Lois Hofmann,

 V.P. Special Events

   LOIS ANN HOFMANN
    I have been involved in Aglow for 42 years. Born and raised in Barnes county I came to know the Lord personally at a small country church at 13.   Married to a farmer for 46 years, I learned the lessons of the soil and growth of crops.  As I begin to apply them to my walk with the Lord I looked for an avenue to share with other hurting women about the healing power of Jesus.  Aglow became that avenue on a local and state level. 
   Eight years ago I was lead through a vision to began a Christian Caregivers service from my home in West Fargo.  Today, the DOVES are 25 woman strong caring for seniors in their homes.
   Resting before the Lord in January, the call came to me to become a part of the North Dakota Aglow Board. Once again my Savior is stretching me to trust Him completely.  My prayer is to touch women who are searching for an answer to life's problems.  I have learned that the Lord is always there with outstretched arms.  Sometimes God brings that hug through others who love Him.  Thank you Lord for allowing me to be that hand extended.                                 

Sharon Coleman,

V.P. Public Relations

Sharon is a North Dakota native, raised  on a farm, together with 5 siblings.  As a teenager, her boyfriend presented the gospel to her.  It was a no brainer.  Since her 3 children and now 2 grand children are well on their way and work behind her, she begins a new position with Aglow.    She will do her best to make a difference in the lives of North Dakotans by utilizing  the tech world .

Jackie Bauerle,

V.P. Ministry Development & Resources

Jackie was born in Bismarck.  During her teen years, she rededicated her life to Christ and received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.   A one year experience in Salt Lake City, as a teen, is what she now refers to as her "Holy Spirit boot camp".                                                           

Jackie later followed a ministry to Harvey where she met her husband.  To make her car payments, she helped insulate a barn and milked cows.  Nose plugging and persistence were necessary for this city girl to "stay on the job".  She ended up marrying the dairy farmer and, together, they milked cows for 18 more years.                      

She and her husband, Kerry, have two sons whom they adopted as infants.  She has worked with teen ministries for several years and occasionally judges at the Fine Arts Festival for the North Dakota      District                                                                 .

The position that Jackie is filling includes helping communities to develop ministries:  this is exactly what she is doing in Harvey.  So, it is already evident that she will be an asset to the Aglow Area Team.                                                                  

"The Harvest is ready.." Jackie says, we need the laborers.  How about you?
