What Happens When We Actually Gather

Why NCN’s 2026 international gathering may matter more than ever

“Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.
And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.”
— Hebrews 10:24-25 NLT
