Local Gathering Taps into Livestream, Builds Local Connections
In Lincoln, IL on February 3rd and 4th, local leaders are hosting a livestream gathering, and women from the area are invited to join IF:Lincoln (our local gathering) as part of an international event, IF:Gathering.
Tens of thousands of women worldwide will participate in the IF:Gathering on February 3-4, 2017, via a livestream from a live, sold out event in Austin, Texas. With a variety of cultures and denominations represented, these women hold one thing in common: they want to live like God is real. The IF:Gathering provides space for women to wrestle with essential questions of faith, to dream, and to connect during a two-day gathering. For more information about the 2017 gathering visit

This IF:Lincoln gathering is accepting registration at the door or http://tinyurl.com/IFLincoln2017
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.
