A global Christian event, made possible by new technology, hopes to connect Christians across multiple countries for an unpreedented international gathering of believers in prayer, the Christian Today website reports today (Sept. 18, 2024).
Gather 25, made possible through the collaboration of organizations including YouVersion, The Bible Project, IllumiNations, 24--7 Prayer International, Global 2033, and many others, will be hosted in--person and virtually across six continents.
Running over a 25--hour period, Gather 25 will use television broadcasts, radio, and live streams , to enable Christians anywhere in the world to take part -- from their homes. theatres, and local churches or in person at a live broadcast site.
The event will kick off in the U.S. at 01:00 UTC on Saturday March 1, 2025, before moving around the world and coming to an end in Peru at 02:00 UTC, Sunday March 2, 2025.
Over the course of the continuous broadcast, it will seek to engage Christians using stories and testimonies of God's hand at work around the world, inspiring believers to reach out to the 5.5 billion people who have yet to discover what having a relationship with Jesus truly means.
Each of the host countries will deliver their own session, offering stories, teaching, and worship from multiple locations, as well as sharing new stories from the ongoing work of the church. The event promises to deliver a compelling list of speakers and worship leaders, with the full line--up to be announced later this year.
"God has been doing amazing things in the global Church, and repentance and prayers are critical in this season," said Sarah Breuel, Executive Director of Revive Europe and Lausanne Movement board member.
