What if every Jesus follower on Earth gathered at one time?
I want to personally invite you to something unprecedented — Gather25, happening on March 1, 2025. Imagine 2.5 billion believers coming together in prayer, worship, and repentance, all being commissioned to reach the world with the Gospel. For 25 continuous hours!
We’ll be meeting in churches, homes, campuses, and arenas — wherever God’s people gather. This event is truly for everyone, everywhere, across every denomination and time zone. And the best part? It’s completely free.
Why Gather25?
We believe discipleship is the way Jesus intended to change the world — life-on-life, in living rooms, local churches, and communities. Over the past decade, we’ve seen God move through our global discipleship organization IF:Gathering, reaching over one million people annually across 179 countries.
But in 2022, something shifted. I found myself asking, “What if Jesus came back in 10 years?” The urgency of that question gripped me. There are 5.5 billion people on Earth who don’t yet know Him. If we believe Jesus is coming soon, how should we respond? What can we do to mobilize the 2.5 billion Christians to reach the world?
That’s when the idea for Gather25 was born.
A Vision for the Global Church
I started dreaming with a team. We began to wonder, what if we had a really large church meeting — like, the whole Church — every follower of Jesus together at the same time? It wasn’t just my vision; I quickly realized this was a God-given dream shared by so many other leaders across the globe.
With today’s technology, this dream can become reality. For the first time in history, the entire global Church — every man, woman, and child who follows Jesus — can gather together across every language, denomination, generation, and continent. We’re not just talking about an event; we’re talking about a global movement.
How the World Will Gather on March 1, 2025
Gather25 will take place over 25 hours, on March 1, 2025. Thanks to live-streaming technology, we’ll bring believers from every corner of the globe together for prayer, worship, repentance, and commissioning.
Each of the seven core sessions will be hosted by different countries and feature teaching, stories, and worship. We’ll hear from the underground church, celebrate stories of revival in the local church we’ve never heard before, and at the end, we’ll send out workers for the Great Commission.
How to Participate in Gather25
Here are three primary ways you can be part of this moment:
- Gather Groups: Host a local gathering in your home, church, or community space.
- Gather Live Broadcast Sites: Attend a major gathering at one of the host locations on each continent.
- Gather Livestream: Watch the event via TV, radio, or online, free of charge, wherever you are in the world.
We’ll gather in dorm rooms, stadiums, living rooms, and churches.
Mobilizing the Global Church: Partners and Vision
From the beginning, we knew we couldn’t do this alone. That’s why God brought together countless partners like YouVersion, The Bible Project, illumiNations, RightNow Media, and the World Evangelical Alliance. We’ve also connected with ministries worldwide, including Africa New Life, 24-7 Prayer, Jesus Film, Convoy of Hope, Revive Europe, Barna, Luis Palau Association and Arise Asia. We’ve only just begun.
We chose the date — March 1, 2025 — with prayer and intentionality. Our team is also working hard to make resources available in 14 major languages, including Mandarin, Arabic, Spanish, Russian, and many more, ensuring that everyone can gather.
So far, over 40,000 people from over 150 countries have expressed interest in hosting a Gather Group. These local gatherings are going to be the heartbeat of Gather25, allowing people to experience this moment in person within their own communities.
You’re Invited to Be Part of History
In Matthew 28, Jesus gave us the command to “go and make disciples of all nations.” For the first time ever, technology has made it possible to gather the entire Global Church for the sake of the Gospel and the Great Commission.
During Gather25, we’ll be hearing from international leaders and witnessing what God is doing on each continent. My prayer is that every person who participates will leave with a renewed sense of urgency to take the Gospel to their families, schools, workplaces, and communities.
What’s Next?
The world needs to hear the Good News of Jesus. Our goal is to mobilize the 2.5 billion Christians to reach the 5.5 billion who do not yet know Jesus as their Savior. You’re invited to be part of this moment for the Global Church.
