For generations, people have come to Christ For The Nations seeking a fresh encounter with God.<\/p>\n

This September 9th\u201311th, we are honored to continue that legacy through The Gathering.<\/p>\n

The Gathering is more than a conference\u2014it is an invitation to step away from the noise and distractions of everyday life and sit once again at the feet of Jesus.<\/p>\n

In a world that often leaves people weary, discouraged, and overwhelmed, we believe God is calling His people to come close, be refreshed in His presence, and receive fresh vision for the season ahead. Through worship, prayer, and the teaching of God's Word, our desire is that every person who attends would experience the transforming presence of God in a personal and powerful way.<\/p>\n

Just as generations before us encountered healing, restoration, and renewed purpose, we believe God is still meeting people today. He is still restoring hearts. He is still awakening faith. He is still calling ordinary people to carry His love and power into their homes, churches, workplaces, and communities.<\/p>\n

The heart behind The Gathering is simple: that no one would leave the same as they came.<\/p>\n

We want every attendee to leave refreshed, encouraged, and relaunched into all God has called them to do.<\/p>\n

Whether you are a pastor, missionary, business leader, student, volunteer, or simply someone longing for more of God, there is a place for you at The Gathering.<\/p>\n

We invite you to join us as we continue a legacy that has impacted generations and believe together for what God wants to do next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
