(Worthy Insights) – In late February, an estimated 7 million people from 225 countries and territories came together for Gather25, a 25-hour global prayer event led by Bible teacher and bestselling author Jennie Allen. The event, which featured live gatherings in seven locations and over 21,000 groups meeting in churches and homes, marked an unprecedented moment in Christian unity and worship.
Allen, the founder of IF:Gathering, a ministry that equips women with “Gospel-centered resources, events and community” for the purpose of discipleship, told The Christian Post she spearheaded the project with a singular goal: to mobilize the global Church in prayer, worship and repentance. But even she was astonished at the overwhelming response.
“I have honestly just had a hard time processing it,” the ministry leader said. “It feels a little pretend, like a crazy dream, because there were so many ways it could have gone wrong. We depended on technology that barely existed. We were on the cutting edge of what AI can do with translations.”
