Twenty-five hour livestream event hosted by ML Methodist Church
By Tammy McCain Lonker
The Gyp Hill Premiere
Gather25, a world-wide event focused on prayer, worship, repentance and commissioning, will be live-streamed non-stop for 25 hours at the Medicine Lodge Methodist Church, 108 East 2nd Avenue, Medicine Lodge, KS. The come and go event begins on Friday, Feb. 28, at 7 PM through Saturday, March 1, at 8 PM.
The vision of Gather25 is to “mobilize the Church to reach the world, so every person on Earth may know Jesus.”
Gather25.com states that there are 2.5 billion Christian on Earth. They ask the question, “What would happen if we all gathered on the same day to pray together, worship together and repent together? How might the world be changed if each of the 2.5 Jesus followers discovered, resolved, and were commissioned into the cause of making Jesus known?”
The website references Matthew 28 where Jesus commanded Christians to “go and make disciples of all the nations”. Present day technology has allowed Christians around the globe to connect in ways they have never been able to before. Gather25 is taking advantage of the opportunity to do so.
During the event, local and international leaders will be sharing stories of how God is working in every part of the world. Gather25 will provide captivating storytelling, earnest worship and powerful prayer. Another part of their vision is for Christians to reach the 5.5 billion people on Earth that are not yet believers. “I just know that God loves me, and I desire for others to know His love for themselves, too,” Elijah Calhoun stated.
This will be an all denominations event and all are invited to Gather. Snacks and drinks will be provided on both days. Meals will be provided on Saturday at 7 AM, 1 PM, and 5 PM. Childcare will be available on Friday from 7-9 pm and Saturday from 10:00 am - 8 pm. There is no charge for the event, meals, snacks or childcare.
