Hi.  I am Howard Johnson and I started The Church Gathered.

In January of 2018 God called me to work on His plan to spiritually unify the Church.  To my surprise, I then found that Jesus had prayed for a supernatural unity of the Church in John’s gospel (17:20-23).  Jesus said this was important in order for the world to believe.  John also wrote that Jesus not only died for our sins, but that he died for such unity (John 11:50-52).  John was Jesus’s closest disciple.  He must have had a special insight into what was important, what Jesus wanted, what would please Jesus. 

Many people have spoken up for the need for Church unity, but have little idea how to accomplish it.  God gave me a vision to see this accomplished.  Imagine many, many leaders of the Church gathered together from around the world.  Leading up to the meeting, churches and ministries will join together to use their influence to make this happen.  The people and denominations will broadly represent the Church.  There will be no committee meetings or special speakers.  Essentially, they will have only gathered for one purpose--to earnestly seek God, praying that He will spiritually unify His Church, and to wait for His response.  Many people all over the world will be seeking God at the same time.  Surely, God must smile to see His people seeking Him so.  It is hard to tell how God will use this event, but just as the Church was renewed before, the Church will never again be the same.  People will see Christ as they have never seen Him before.

I welcome others to come alongside me. Read more at TheChurchGathered.com.  Help support the work.  Help me reach the Church for the spiritual unity that Christ calls us to.
