I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a long history with IF since first attending IF:Gathering2017. I started to recap it all here but it grew into this big stroll down memory lane and I’m still not done! So, for time’s sake, I removed it all for now that I could get the original point of this post out there- the schedule and encouragement to tune in!
I hope you will take time to watch some of these messages before Tuesday midnight (for free). To narrow things down, I’ve put the biblical subject in parenthesis so it could help you to choose which message to watch first. THEY ARE ALL GREAT because each speaker brings out different points from the text and uses personal, practical examples that help bring the message home to our everyday life. I know something shared will resonate with you (or for others you know) for this specific season. The whole conference is worth re-watching in my opinion, by yourself or with friends, all throughout the year (with paid access). I’ve downloaded IF’s free conversation cards to journal as prompts as well. (If you’ve already watched IF:2024- reach out if you want to join me in discussing what stood out to us in this season. I’d love to do that with you because it helps me to notice more and apply what I’ve learned more to my life.)

A word of thanks to the Team of IFGathering and the presenters/performers:
I am grateful to the staff and interns and all the supporters (organizations, communities, and people) who help to make the work of IFGathering a reality. What stood out to me from the very beginning was IFGathering’s desire to EQUIP others to share Jesus with those around them. They give everything away to help us share and talk and have honest conversations about faith in the places God has us in this season. I am so grateful for this and I KNOW it takes a lot of behind the scenes work on each person in the Team to make this happen. You make it look easy, but I know there were and are many, many moving pieces. Thank you to the Team at IFGathering!
I also wanted to thank EACH presenter/performer for your dedication to pray and study/practice and prepare for this task. I know the responsibility and the work that goes into this. I saw and experienced the fruit of your efforts. Thank you to YOU and to your FAMILY and to your FRIENDS who have ‘held up your arms’ as you labored in preparation for, in the delivery of, and as you (hopefully) take a rest from your part of this gathering. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. May the Lord bless you and continue to shine His face upon you and your circle. We are blessed from your devotion to the Lord.
I am excited about the committed support of IFGathering to continue to expand partnerships with other Christians throughout the global church. I am already prayerful with you for Gather25. I am asking the Lord to reveal my part of this story along with you. You are an inspiration and a light.
Blessings and peace to you,
Sejana
