"I watched IF:Gathering for the very first time in 2016. It was a catalyst event in my faith. I was a sophomore in college at the time, and I watched in my bedroom by myself that weekend. Although I grew up in church, I grew passionate about knowing and loving God deeper, understanding my beliefs, discipleship, and community, and I was just propelled into action. I joined a small group, began mentoring the younger generation, sought mentorship from the older, began really reading and studying God's word, and just said YES to what God had laid on my heart. Thank you, IF:Gathering for all that you do to equip and unleash God's people!" Sydney

"Y'all, I have tears streaming down my face. I can't tell you what IF:Gathering means to me. The first time I attended was in 2016, and I found out I was pregnant during a session where the speaker was discussing shame and guilt and how God loves us and forgives us. This will always stick with me. She said along the lines, "I just feel the need to say this, if you are struggling with abortion, know that you are not alone" I KNEW that was directly for me because I was struggling with what was my next step would be. I wasn't ready to be a mom alone. I felt so much shame. Here I am six years later, I attended IF:Dallas, and I am struggling with infertility... Wild right? The conference seems to come around exactly when I need it." Genesis

"In September of 2012 or 2013, I attended a women's conference in Kansas that Jennie spoke at. She talked about her vision of IF:Gathering and how that vision was coming to life. I can remember her talking about how we are to run this race of life together. The military moved my family to Guam, and my dream of attending IF:Gathering in person was put on hold. When we returned to the States, the military brought us to Texas. But for some reason or another, I have not been able to attend in person. I was able to watch the livestream two years ago. That year God strongly encouraged me to connect with Him and other people. For 2024, I have a ticket!" Judith

"For years, my friends have been trying to get me to come to our local church. I didn’t grow up surrounded by faith or church. As an adult, I’ve struggled with the concept of religion. The first weekend of January I attended, and I haven’t missed a Sunday since. I was invited to attend the IF:Local event by a friend. It truly catapulted my want for God in my life. I left with an overwhelming feeling of fullness. I just wanted more. I am counting down the days until next year, and I can’t wait to attend in person in Ft. Worth all the way from Maryland!" Erika
