I have written a few posts over the last few months about the IF : Gathering. I wrote about it here and here.
It is something I am honored to be a part of.
Honored.
I have always been a little timid in large groups of women. Maybe it’s me and my singleness? Maybe it’s them and their squealing? Probably it’s a little bit of both. But over the last several years I have come to believe in the power of gathering women, in the power of uniting women. I love the idea of focusing on what we have in common. I love the idea of putting aside the cliques and the stereotypes, the theological and political divides, the petty disagreements and the online squabbles.
I love the idea of us coming together. Gathering in our joy and in our pain. Learning from one another. Expanding our view of ourselves, of one another, of sisterhood, and of Jesus.
I think we could do something powerful together, y’all.
Maybe we could be a healing balm for one another? Maybe we realize our purpose, in the home, in the workplace, or in the mission field? And maybe, just maybe, we could show the world what love looks like?
If this is something that resonates, consider joining us through If: Local or If: Austin.
IF : Local
We don’t want to limit this gathering to a venue in Austin. We are throwing open the doors, and inviting you to join us via webcast. Gather with your friends, neighbors or others in your community and join us virtually. You will have the opportunity to register on Tuesday, October 15th. Then in the next several weeks and months, we will send you ideas and resources for our time together.

For the Austin gathering, we are eliminating the set ticket price, and asking you to partner with us, by giving what you can to the vision of IF. We ask that you join us in praying for God to provide the funds for us to turn the lights on!
