The Gathering is an annual event run by 24-7 Prayer that brings together people from across the international movement with a passion to revive the church and rewire the culture through non-stop night and day prayer, mission and justice. In 2026 we will be gathering in Belfast, for a time of prayer, worship and teaching as we join from different countries to share together and seek God’s presence.

Every year at The Gathering, we host a legendary party, and as part of the fun, individuals and groups bid hundreds of pounds for homemade items. The funds we raise travel all around the world to support what God is doing. In the past, your generosity has paid rent for single mums, supported the growth of new 24-7 Prayer teams, sent the good news of Jesus where it’s needed most, and so much more.

Our Gatherings are an opportunity to pray, worship and learn together. These times are a chance to celebrate the year, be refreshed, and to receive vision from God for the year ahead. We love spending time with old friends, making new friends, eating together and so much more.
We’d love for you to join us, whether you’ve been part of this global movement for 26 years, or you’re just exploring the idea of 24-7 Prayer for the very first time. Come, and seek the power of Jesus together as we give thanks and look to the future.
Why Belfast?
Ireland has long been a land of prayer, pilgrimage, and deep spiritual heritage.
From the early Celtic saints who lit beacons of faith that shaped the history of the British Isles to the revival movements that swept through recent generations, the Irish story continues to be central to the 24-7 Prayer movement today.
This year, we’re gathering in Belfast, a historical city with creativity and faith at its core. Once shaped by shipbuilding and industry, Belfast is now alive with art, music, and a renewed spirit of reconciliation.
Ireland’s landscape speaks the language of Celtic spirituality — beauty, simplicity, and a deep awareness of God in all things. As we gather together in Belfast, we join in the ancient rhythm of prayer, hospitality, and mission that continues to shape our shared journey.
We can’t wait to experience the warmth, beauty, and sacred hospitality of the Celts together!
