In a convening of all things I love [Texas + Church + Jesus + People], I’m excited to share with you a meeting of minds… and hearts… and souls that will take place in Austin. I’ve spoken about IF:Gathering before, but now I have some juicy details that I can’t wait to share with you!

Before I get to the nitty gritty, it’s important to know the why of IF. What started as crazy conversations and dreams about mobilizing the Church and unleashing a generation  has come to fruition in several very cool ways. The doors are flying open and the invite is for ALL. Long gone are the excuses of I don’t have money, or It’s far away, or I can’t afford it. Every woman from every background and every history is invited to partake in a  gathering to equip, mobilize, and unleash limitless potential in our world.

Do you feel God is calling you to build community? Do you sense a bigger calling on your life? Do you like carbohydrates?

If the answer is yes to any or all these questions, check out what’s going on at the Austin Music Hall, February 7th-8th, 2014. Here are the two ways you can get involved:

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 October 15th. Then in the next several weeks and months, we will send you ideas and resources for our time together.

IF : Austin
Austin Music Hall

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!

Finances should never be a deterrent to the leading in your life, so the fine folks of IF did something CrAzY: the price is set to what you can give.* For some it’ll be $5,000 and for others it’ll be $50. From corporate CEOs to stay-at-home moms and everything in between, you’re invited.

Registration for IF:Austin and IF:Local opens tomorrow, Tuesday, October 15th at 11:00AM [cst]. Check out the site and see how you can play a part in the gathering! We’d love to have you join the fun. You have a voice and we want to hear it. In the words of Katy Perry, I want to hear you ROAR!

If you have any questions, let me know! Hope to see you in Austin or online.
*This vision will not happen if we do not have financial partners. If you believe in this vision, then we ask that you pray about giving to support IF : Gathering.
