'Every nation, tribe and language': 7 million Christians partake in record-breaking event

by Lydia Davies

A global Christian movement has made history, uniting an estimated seven million believers from 225 countries and territories in a 25-hour worldwide event.

Through cutting-edge AI technology, livestreaming, and a shared commitment to prayer and worship, Christians across every continent participated in Gather25.

The event was streamed live from seven locations, including the United States, New Zealand, Malaysia, Romania, Rwanda, the United Kingdom, and Peru.

It was translated into 87 languages in real time.

Gather25 reported that more than 21,000 churches and homes hosted watch parties, with believers gathering in living rooms, remote villages, and large public spaces.

In Cebu City, Philippines, over 5,000 people joined an outdoor event.

More than 117,000 prison inmates in the United States participated through God Behind Bars.

Even in Antarctica, scientists at the Chapel of the Snows came together in worship.

The impact extended even further with TBN broadcasting segments throughout the weekend, reaching a potential audience of two billion viewers worldwide.

Speakers and worship artists including Matt Redman, Rick Warren, Jennie Allen, Christine Caine, Tim Godfrey, Sergio Hornung, Matt Maher, Dr Charles Mugisha Sinach, Andres Spyker, Mark Varughese, and Darlene Zschech took part.

Jennie Allen, founder of Gather25 said in a statement: "What we witnessed was a glimpse of heaven.

"People from every nation, tribe, and language, united in one mission: to make Jesus known. This is only possible through prayer.”

Pastor Mmbongya from Malawi described the life-changing impact, saying: "We thank Jesus for the global Church gathering in Malawi at the Dzaleka refugee camp.

"We have seen the Holy Spirit move through prayer and worship, with great encounters."

Gather25 was reportedly made possible through key partnerships with YouVersion, Finishing the Task, World Evangelical Alliance, RightNow Media, Bible Gateway, Revive Europe, Arise Asia, and many others.
