The countdown to Gather 25 has begun, and anticipation is soaring as believers from across Africa prepare for this extraordinary event. Slated for March 1, 2025, this monumental gathering will bring together Christians in a powerful time of worship, prayer, and spiritual renewal.

More than just an event, Gather 25 is a 25-hour global broadcast, sharing the incredible stories of the worldwide Church—told by the Church itself. From vibrant worship to profound teachings, this gathering is set to leave an indelible mark on the hearts of attendees and viewers worldwide.

A Star-Studded Lineup of Worship Ministers

A host of renowned gospel artists will take the stage to lead thousands in praise and worship, including Aime Uwimana, Tim Godfrey (Nigeria), Fabrice and Maya, True Promises, Appolinaire and Jeanette (Burundi), Watoto Children’s Choir (Uganda), Prosper Nkomezi, and many more. Alongside these powerful voices, esteemed ministers such as Apostle Moses Mukisa and Pastor Charles Mugisha will deliver transformative messages, calling the Church to a renewed commitment to its mission.

Rwanda: A Beacon of Hope and Faith

Barbara Umuhoza, one of the event’s organizers, underscored the significance of Rwanda as the host nation, stating, “Gather 25 is a testimony of God’s faithfulness. Rwanda has risen from the ashes of its painful past to become a symbol of healing and unity. Hosting the entire African Church here is an affirmation of how far God has brought us.”

She further emphasized that Gather 25 is more than worship and prayer—it is a call to action. “With over five billion people yet to know Christ, this event will reignite our passion for evangelism and remind us of our divine mandate—the Great Commission.”

A Global Experience for All

For those unable to attend in person, Gather 25 will be broadcast live on Radio O and TV O, ensuring that believers worldwide can participate in this powerful experience.

Pastor Samuel Kwizera, a youth leader at New Life Bible Church, highlighted the event’s role in shaping Christian identity, saying, “Gather 25 will awaken a sense of purpose in every believer, reminding us of our collective mission to make disciples of all nations.”

Faith in Action: A Mission Beyond the Arena

Beyond its spiritual impact, Gather 25 is also about giving back. One of the initiatives tied to the event is providing Mutuelle de Santé (health insurance) for the less privileged. Pastor Kwizera emphasized, “The Church isn’t just about preparing souls for heaven; we must also transform lives here on earth. Through acts of love and generosity, we fulfill both the Great Commission and the Great Commandment.”

Young Believers Speak Out

Young Christians are eagerly anticipating Gather 25 as an opportunity for growth and inspiration. Kevine Giramata from New Life Bible Church shared, “This event will allow us to experience Christianity in new ways, learn from others, and be equipped to impact our communities.”

Meanwhile, Jordan Murangwa, leader of New Life Worship Team, expressed his excitement, revealing that they have been preparing through prayer and fasting. “We are ready! We expect a great revival not only for Rwanda but for the entire African Church,” he said, highlighting the unity fostered among worship leaders in the process.

The Gospel Fraternity Unites

The impact of Gather 25 extends beyond individual churches, as gospel ministers and worship leaders join forces to glorify God together. Chryso Ndasingwa, a worship leader, expressed gratitude for the opportunity, saying, “It’s an honor to be part of a movement that brings together believers from across Africa. I believe this gathering will be life-changing.”

Gospel icon Fabrice Nzeyimana echoed this sentiment, stating, “Rwanda has become a hub for major Christian gatherings, and this event should serve as a wake-up call for the Church to embrace unity and work together as one body of Christ.”

A Divine Appointment for Africa and Beyond

As Gather 25 approaches, the excitement continues to build. This is not just another Christian event—it is a divine appointment, a time for worship, prayer, and reawakening to the call of evangelism. With thousands expected at BK Arena and countless others joining via live broadcasts, the impact of this historic event will be felt far beyond Kigali.

From spiritual revival to acts of compassion, Gather 25 is poised to be a powerful demonstration of unity, faith, and transformation. As the Church stands together in one spirit, this gathering will inspire believers to go forth and share the message of Christ across Africa and the world.
