Bestselling author and speaker Jennie Allen says she once had a dream in which Jesus came back, but that, in her words, the world wasn’t ready. It wasn’t a pleasant dream, she says, because so many remained lost without Christ. Allen woke up with a vision for a gathering of Christians from every continent to pray, worship and proclaim the name of Jesus.

On February 28, that worldwide assembly will unfold in Gather25, a 25-hour global broadcast where Christians from more than 10 000 locations across 183 countries will gather online for what is being billed as an epic gathering of the global church. In the United States, it will launch at 3pm that day. It will be broadcast online through the Gather25.com website, but also on TBN and the YouVersion Bible app.
“It’s just going to give you so much hope,” Allen told Crosswalk Headlines, noting that “2.5 billion people say they are Christians.”

“We’re inviting all of them to come together,” she said. “Our ultimate goal is that everybody, everywhere would know Jesus and know the Gospel, and that out of this event, they will live more on mission.”

The Gather25 broadcast will include Priscilla Shirer, John Mark Comer, Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes, Lui Ponifasio, Christine Caine, Sadie Robertson, Tim Godfrey, Louie Giglio, Matt Redman, and Darlene Zschech, among others.
After a few hours of broadcasting in the US, “we are passing the baton live to New Zealand. They will be passing the baton live to Malaysia, India, Peru, Rwanda, London.”
“It’s going to take a solid 25 hours live from all of these places,” she said. “And it’s just such a moment for the global church. This has never been possible in history since Pentecost because of languages and language barriers. But because of AI, we are able to live translate into 80 languages.”
Gather25 is being held as college students across America hold worship services as part of the Unite movement, with thousands in attendance. This winter and spring, Unite events are taking place on the campuses of Kentucky, Ohio State, Purdue, West Virginia, SMU and Baylor. The movement started at Auburn in 2023.
“Revival is breaking out everywhere,” Allen said.
“And thousands and thousands of students come every single time. And so many of them come forward and receive Christ. That same thing is happening in Africa, that same thing is happening in Asia, that same thing is happening in London and Germany and Paris. And we’re going to show it is happening all over the world. So you’re going to see revival is breaking out all over the world.”
