Gather25, a trailblazing global gathering of Christians founded by Jennie Allen, has unveiled the first of its contributors for the upcoming event in 2025. Featuring a multi-denominational, international line up of Christian teachers, storytellers and prayer guides from six continents, Gather25 aims to showcase powerful stories of how God is transforming communities and hearts around the world.
The event, with a schedule that will circumnavigate the globe over 25 hours, celebrates a line-up of individuals who bring a unique perspective of how God is moving in their context. Together, they are partnering with Gather25’s mission to mobilize Christians everywhere to reach the 5.5 billion people on earth who have yet to encounter Jesus. Through live-streaming technology and AI, Gather25 will connect with Christians in homes, in churches, in stadiums, or on their phones, across six continents, with each continent hosting a portion of the 25 hours.

Gather25 is a global collaboration of Christians who are instrumental in connecting the global church from the ground up. Matt Redman said, "It’s so easy to underestimate just how beautiful, powerful, and vast the Church really is. But the more we look around the world, the more we see that Jesus’ Church is very much alive and well - and we recognize that every day amazing stories are being written. What I love about the vision of Gather25 is it will help get us more in touch with that glorious reality. As we join our voices together across the globe on March 1st, the Word, worship, witness, and prayer will be so powerful. But perhaps what will be most stunning of all will be our unity - with so many streams and expressions joining together as ‘one’ - just the way Christ always wanted it. Please join us!”
The event will kick off in the United States at 01:00 UTC on Saturday, 1st March 2025, and will journey around the globe, concluding in Peru at 02:00 UTC on Sunday, 2nd March 2025. This continuous broadcast is designed to empower Christians worldwide through inspiring stories and testimonies of God’s work across nations. Each session will be hosted from a different country, featuring teaching, worship, stories and prayers from various locations within each session. The event will also unveil never-before-heard accounts from the underground church.
