About Gather25
The vision of IF:Gathering is to equip people around the world with gospel-centered resources, events, and community so that they may learn about who God is and disciple others right where they are. We believe discipleship is the way Jesus said the world will change.
To this end in 2025, Gather25 will hold an unprecedented event to mobilize the Church to reach the world so that every person on earth may know Jesus. On March 1st 2025, for 25 hours, we will gather the global Church across five continents for prayer, repentance, and commissioning in an event called Gather25.
During those 25 hours, we will host five live events, as well as a free live stream, in order to mobilize the 2.5 billion Christians on earth to participate in the mission of God and "go and make disciples" of the 5.5 billion people who don't have a relationship with Jesus.
