REPORT OF THE MISSIONS TRIP
1st May – Nuwara Eliya & 2nd May 2026 – Haputale, Sri Lanka
Amidst turbulent and uncertain times, and in the shadow of a looming fuel crisis, the National Board of the Women’s Aglow Fellowship Sri Lanka (Aglow International Sri Lanka) stepped out in faith for our 8th Missions Trip to the upcountry.
The mandate given to us was:
“To open blind eyes, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.” — Isaiah 42:7
Seminars were held in Nuwara Eliya, often referred to as “Little England,” and in Haputale—both surrounded by rolling hills, heavy mist, and lush tea plantations. Between 200 to 230 women gathered at each location, representing 12–15 churches, all coming together to experience the presence of the Lord.
The Seminars began with the song for Sri Lanka, it was sung in Tamil with deep reverence, and the National Flag was paraded with honour, reflecting our love and devotion to the nation.
The worship was uplifting and deeply anointed. We believe that as His presence filled the atmosphere, strongholds were broken and hearts were set free.
The key topics shared by the speakers included:
* Building on a strong foundation that weathers the storms of life (Luke 6)
* Raising a godly family with wisdom and understanding (Proverbs 14:1)
* Strengthening marriage through biblical submission
* Allowing the Holy Spirit to bring inner transformation
The Messages with testimonies were shared by our speakers—Mrs. Vasanthi Jayawardene, Mrs. Sulochana Ganeshwaran, Mrs. Surani Talayratne, and Mrs. Claudette Almeida—these were powerful and deeply personal, speaking directly into the lives of those present.
Many responded to the altar call for prayer and ministry. Lives were touched, faith was strengthened, and there was a renewed desire among the women to draw closer to the Lord and live according to His Word.
A special highlight was the song “I Am a Daughter of the King,” composed by Ruvani Desinghe (Director, Generations) and translated into Tamil by Ruth Thevamany. Sung in both Sinhala and Tamil, the song ministered profoundly, reminding each woman of her identity in Christ.
We believe that the truth sown into their hearts will take deep root and bring lasting transformation. Our prayer is that women will arise with a clear understanding of their calling—to build and nurture strong, Godly families.
For truly, the strength of a nation lies in strong, Godly homes.
