The IF:Gathering is a weekend conference for Christian women held in Austin, TX. Local gatherings will stream the conference live throughout the world. Inter-generational small group discussions, prayer, worship, and two meals will take place between sessions. Speakers last year included Shauna Neiquist, Jennie Allen, Ann Voskamp, among others. IF is so named because its content wrestles with the question, If God is real, then what? Further, if Gods promises are true, then what does that mean for our life, worth, purpose, influence, freedom and power? IF gathers, equips and unleashes women to live life more abundantly and impact their communities more profoundly by trusting in God more fully. To register go to Ifgathering. Contact Heather Hunt at IFfingerlakes@gmail with any questions.
