Audiences will be virtually dropped into each continent. Allen explained:
You’re going to see all the work God is already doing on the continent. You’re going to hear the challenges that each continent has to face. Then you’re going to drop into this live venue, and you’re going to hear stories. You’re going to see these beautiful stories that were shot already of what God’s doing on Earth and on that continent and beyond. You’re going to hear the best teaching from each continent. You’re going to hear prayers. You’re going have worship culturally, from each place.
Gather25 will start in Dallas and then will switch to different venues every few hours, including testimonies from the persecuted church in locations that are closed off to Christianity. Allen shared that most of those who will be sharing from these locations will have their identities kept secret to ensure their safety.
“I’m excited to share with the U.S. venue tomorrow night, like, ‘Hey, guess what? Get your hands out of your pockets and really worship God here,’” Allen said. “‘Because there are people from the underground church in China that cannot sing out loud with other people.’ Like, that’s who’s watching us.”
“It’s going to be unbelievable, it’s going to be beautiful, and I think people are just going to worship God,” Allen said.
The goal of Gather25 is simple, Allen said. “It is to mobilize the 2.5 billion people to the glory of God that their hearts would be reawakened to the power and glory of God that they would want to play their part in this story of reconciling the world to himself.”
Allen said that if Christians want to get the gospel to everybody, everywhere by 2033, then they must “mobilize a 2.5 billion people to reach the 5.5 billion, everybody everywhere.”
Gather25 is launching a campaign called everybodyeverywhere.com to provide resources to help Christians share the gospel.

Allen said that she believes we are the “beginnings of awakening.”
“I am beginning to more boldly say, and certainly believe, that we are at the beginnings of awakening. And I mean,” Allen said, “I’ve seen too much. So if you want to argue it, great, but you can’t deny, like, the literal dozens and dozens of experiences I’ve had across the world, and you’re about to watch it.”
