Last year we spent a brilliant leaders day together. While we are breaking from our traditional format this year, it will still be a valuable to come together as a family of leaders to think, relate, listen and pray as a movement. We will have a morning of prayer and worship, which will also provide strategic opportunity to ensure that key themes and decisions from the Roundtable are communicated clearly, and provide a valuable touchpoint for networking within the movement.
We would love for you to join us for for drinks from 8pm on Wednesday 30th October. Venue TBC. Followed by our 24-7 Leaders’ Morning at 9am on Thursday 31st October before the Gathering begins.
Over the years, these leaders’ meetings have been a context in which relationships have been consistently renewed, and God has been able to speak into the movement.

The 24-7 Prayer Netherlands team are welcoming us to Rotterdam for The Gathering ’24, and we’re so excited! There’s a 24-7 House of Prayer in Rotterdam, and if you were at The Gathering last year, you might remember that the Generosity Auction raised money to help the team launch a community cafe. We’re looking forward to seeing the cafe, visiting the house of prayer, and experiencing Dutch hospitality.
Rotterdam is a beautiful city with plenty of accommodation and great transport links to the rest of Europe.
