Picture yourself on a warm summer evening in the rural Midwest. The sun is setting, and the deep blue sky is beginning to burst with color. You glance at the sky and smile as your eyes to return to the faces of those gathered around you. You lean back into your chair, and realize you have settled into a wonderful, peaceful place... a rare state of mind that seems like a dream. Time seems to stand still as you enjoy the warm friendship of your friends, and savor the fresh conversation that flows all around you. You have been transported to another time and dimension... no, wait... that's a different story. You have been delivered into a realm that most people only know in their imagination. You have arrived at the Gathering!

Years ago, the Internet opened doors and connected people who would have probably never known each other otherwise. It created a medium for the world to communicate it's deepest thoughts, most troubling questions, and greatest encouragements. It brought together seekers of all kinds, and permitted them to associate in miraculous ways.

In recent times, "blogging" (web-logs)came on the scene, and allowed people to express themselves, and seek out others who had similar ideas. A small group of bloggers began sharing their hearts a few years ago. Unknown to each other in the beginning, these folks eventually found their way to one another, and found a common ground unlike any other. Through different experiences and pathways, they all had come to a place in their thinking that connected them to each other in a deeply spiritual way.

These "Grace Buddies" grew in relationship with each other, and continued to discover the extent of their love for each other. They enjoyed sharing insights and revelations they had received, and celebrated the commonality they found in each other's lives. They became a virtual community. That community grew and grew, and to date, there are hundreds of folks all around the world who share an extreme passion...

The Finished Work of the Cross of Jesus Christ!

This year (for the first time for most of them)they will come together and rejoice in God's love. It will be a time of caring and sharing, and enjoying life together. There's not much of an agenda. And they have no idea how many will be there. But, it came together so effortlessly, it was clear that it had to be done! So, the invitation goes out... all are welcome! If the path leads you to Eastern Indiana this summer, you will be heading for...
