25 hours of the Global Church gathered in 2025. Gather25 is an unprecedented, and free, 25-hour global broadcast event telling the story and mission of the global Church, by the global Church. This will be an opportunity for the 2.5 billion believers across the world to gather in prayer, worship, and repentance, so that we can go out powerfully and collaboratively to reach the world.
Through live-streaming technology, the global Church will connect together for prayer, worship, repentance and commissioning. Each continent will host a portion of the 25 hours. There will be stories told of what God is doing on each continent. There will be powerful times of worship. And there will be a worldwide “sending out” of the workers to the harvest.
Gather25 is for every man, woman, and child on Earth who follows Jesus. Every Christian, from every denomination, from every continent, and every generation, is invited to be a part of Gather25.
The mission is to mobilize our world’s 2.5 billion Jesus followers to share the Gospel with the 5.5 billion people who do not know Him.
In Matthew 28, Jesus commanded us to “go and make disciples of all nations”. Now, for the first time in history, technology has connected the global Church in ways that were never before possible. This is an unprecedented moment where we can mobilize the 2.5 billion followers of Jesus on Earth to carry out His commandment.
Gather25 will take place on Saturday, March 1, 2025. However, because the gathering is 25 hours long and because time zones vary greatly, the start time for many countries will begin the night before (on February 28). Check out the schedule here.

At Gather25, there will be seven core sessions across continents. Each session will be hosted by a single country, but you can expect to hear stories, teaching, and worship from multiple locations in each session. We will also be telling never-before-heard stories of the persecuted church. The broadcast sites will be located in Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Romania, Rwanda, the United Kingdom, the United States and other undisclosed locations. Find details for the Gather25 Live Broadcast sites here.
The vast majority of Gather25 will take place in Gather Groups. A Gather Group is a local gathering, organized by a Host individual/ministry, to invite their community to experience Gather25 together in-person. These may happen in church buildings, in living rooms, or other venues. If you’re interested and want to know more about hosting a Gather Group, check out our Gather Groups Page.
