In 1995, a small group of us from Canada were gripped by a holy longing — to prepare a dwelling place for the presence of the Lord among His people. It was a response not only to our own hearts, but to the longing in the heart of God — a longing to be among His people.

With that burning vision, we began a journey called The Gatherings.

Our first gathering took place in Whistler, British Columbia.

Over the past 30 years, we've walked through:

• ⁠Seasons of shaking and shaping

• Victories and valleys

• Times of hiddenness and times of release

Yet through it all, the vision has never changed.

Like King David, we have said in our hearts:

“I will not rest until I find a dwelling place for the Lord.

Today, we are hearing a new sound — the rattling of dry bones, the call to rise and come together again.

This is not merely a remembering season — we are standing in a prophetic moment.

2025 is a year where many voices across Canada and the nations are saying:

“This is the time for fulfillment — the receiving of long-awaited prophecies and promises.”

There is a sound going out:

A call to worship. A call to oneness. A call to become the answer to the longing of His heart.

We believe it is time to ascend to His divine perspective and walk in our God-ordained identity as His Bride in this land.

As we look toward August 2025 in Abbotsford, we are not gathering around a man or a ministry.

We are gathering as the Ecclesia — the Body of Christ in Canada and beyond.

This is about oneness — the kind Jesus prayed for in John 17:

“That they may be one, as we are one... so that the world may believe.”

This vision is for all people across this land:

• ⁠From Newfoundland to British Columbia

• From the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit

• ⁠For every culture, every background

• For our neighbors in the United States

• And for the nations of Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and beyond

We come as one family — young and old, honoring those who have gone before, and entrusting the flame to the next generation.

No one nation can do this alone. We need each other.

We are gathering in Abbotsford, BC from August 20–23, 2025, and we believe this is a divine appointment :

• Come with your heart wide open⁠

• Come with expectation

• Come to release and receive

• Come to tarry in His presence

• ⁠Come and stand as one Body, one voice

This is not the end of a dream —

it's the continuation of the same longing we carried in 1995.

“Arise, O God, and take Your resting place…”

Let’s prepare a dwelling place — together.

Let’s answer the longing in His heart.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Together, for His glory.
