What is IF:Gathering?
It’s a time to gather together with women and older teens to hear from people with different backgrounds, nationalities, and responsibilities share Biblical Truth and be open with how God works out in their day-to-day lives. At least that’s how I would describe this gathering today. But it’s not just watching a feed of people talk, because let’s face it, since most of us are NOT in Dallas, Texas that weekend, you will be streaming the feed via the internet and maybe you’re thinking that you could do that on your own somewhere, maybe later, maybe never. True. But THIS is also a time to be in the company of women (and maybe teens too) who have said YES to the opportunity to check this out, be in community with one another and just be real with where we are spiritually in life. We need that. I need that. Real conversations about Jesus in our everyday.
46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts,47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
#ifgathering2019
It’s almost here. In fact, in South Korea where I’m typing this from right now, it’s the evening of the last day of the first month of 2019. That means in a little over ONE WEEK, it begins! I’m so excited to see what God will do!!!
Join me, and us the 2nd weekend of February, Feb 9th-11th for IF:DAEGU_ANJIRANG in South Korea going LIVE from their new home of Dallas, Texas, IF:Gathering! I’m hosting this simulcast (live-stream) the same weekend (just a little later because I’m not sure who will join me at midnight 😆 😉 to tune-in live so we are just shifting things over a few hours when we host here in my home).

What will we do?
We will use their worship (and even our own time of worship too – why not??) to set the tone and our heart (here is the IF:Gathering2019 playlist ), hear their words as God has laid it upon their heart to share with the thousands of women across the globe who will tune in and then take time to respond to the questions that will be provided to you when you come. Oh, and there will be food. I can’t help it! I love to host! Having something to snack on can help ease the awkwardness people feel at first when meeting new people but I’ve found after hosting a few events, I can tell you that God always shows up and meets us personally right where we are. There will be a lot of food for thought for sure 🤔 🤣 😁. So come ready to receive!
It is my personal prayer that those whom God calls to register to attend will make the time to come to as many of the 3 sessions that they can attend (in the United States, they meet Friday evening for Session 1 and Session 2 and 3 are on Saturday all day). Here in South Korea, I have broken it up into 3 days.
