Annual Priority 15 Conference
The Gathering
What to Expect
From Friday 7pm through noon Sunday we will have the 12th 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. 250-300 people from across the globe participated in the last Gathering. The Gathering is for aspiring goers, intercessors, several mobilizers (but no exhibits), and many missionaries to the unreached. For security reasons there will not be a virtual option and all attendees are screened.
This is a wonderful opportunity to meet others, go deeper through small groups, and hear speakers with first-hand experience.

The Gathering is focused on reaching unreached people groups with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Do you want to explore going to an unreached people group? The Gathering is probably for you.
Prayer is central to the work of global missions. We emphasize prayer because it moves the heart of God when we pray. During the 2026 Gathering, we will have an optional daily dedicated prayer time for Muslims to come to faith in Christ as The Gathering falls concurrent with Ramadan.
