THE GATHERING

The 2025 Gathering will be Feb. 28-Mar. 2 in Wichita, Kansas. Register here. Space is limited so register now or soon.

What to Expect

From Friday 7pm through noon Sunday we will have the 11th annual gathering of missional professionals in healthcare, business, counseling, engineering, teaching, and more. We come together to plan, pray, and prepare to reach some of the last unreached people groups. Over 250 people from across the globe participated in the last Gathering. For security reasons there will not be a virtual option and all attendees are screened.

This is not a typical conference. Here is what participants have shared immediately after previous gatherings:

• “I have been asking God about career, regions, and how best to prepare. The Lord gave me insights into next steps via one-on-one conversations.”

• “I received practical advice and strategies from those who share the gospel cross-culturally and how to rely on Jesus completely.”

• “I connected with several missionaries to the unreached area where I want to move.”

Here is what participants shared a few years later:

• “We are now in one of the 15 areas because of connections made at one Gathering and then encouragement from the Gathering the following year.”

• “God used The Gathering a couple of years ago in a significant way in our lives. Now we’re in an unreached country. Hard to believe, but grateful to be here!”

This is a wonderful opportunity to meet others, go deeper through small groups, and hear speakers with first-hand experience. One will be Nathan L, the “father” of TOAG (Training Ordinary Apprentices to Go) and now “grandfather” of Launch Global through which hundreds have gone to the Muslim world in the past two decades. Also hear Joni B. She and her husband started a missionary base in N. Africa with Operation Mobilization, and she taught English as a Foreign Language in the Middle East.
