 IF:Gathering exists to gather, equip, and unleash this 
			generation of women to live out their calling. The non-profit was 
			born out of a God-given vision from Jennie Allen, Founder & the 
			author of Restless and Nothing to Prove. She was joined by Lindsey 
			Nobles, Chief Operating Officer, and together, they formed a global 
			community of that desire to gather this generation of women by 
			creating a pure, honest space to wrestle with the essential 
			question: IF God is real, THEN what? In the first three years, 
			IF:Gathering has reached more than one million women in more than 
			120 countries. IF:Gathering provides a daily online
 discipleship tool, IF:Equip, to help women know God more deeply. By 
			partnering with organizations like the Seed Company, IF:Gathering is 
			coming alongside women around the world, fostering relationships, 
			and utilizing women’s God-given gifts to not only transform hearts 
			but also leave a tangible impact on the entire world. More 
			information can be found at www.IFGathering.com .
