AnGeL Ministries
Upon leaving her BSF teaching class, Anne Graham Lotz founded AnGeL Ministries, a non-profit organization based in Raleigh, NC to undergird her ability to accept teaching invitations. Anne says the name “AnGeL Ministries” takes her initials “AGL” and adds the “n” and “e” to form the word “AnGeL” because “angels in the Bible were messengers of God, and they went where God sent them and they give the message you put on their heart, and I felt that describes what I do.”
In the early years of AnGeL Ministries, Anne accepted invitations to speak all over the world: at pastor’s conferences, at women’s conferences, and world evangelism conferences. By the year 2000, she felt her ministry taking a different direction.
Although as a female evangelist she's encountered some resistance from conservative Christians, her popularity is such that she draws large crowds across the world, and the New York Times in 1999 considered her one of the five most influential evangelists in the United States.
