Right now in Iran, hearts are open to the Gospel. More people are turning to Christ every day. Each of these new believers needs fellowship and a chance to be discipled in community.
For this to be possible, more church planters are needed. Given the deep hostility of Iran’s government to the church, it’s inherently dangerous work. Yet there are recently-trained, courageous church planters ready to go and serve out of their deep love for the Lord and His people.
It costs on average £400 per month (£4,800 per year) to support a church planter in Iran. This cost covers mentoring, pastoral care, books and ministry resources, and financial support for the individual where possible and helpful.

How it works
The tradition of The Gathering Auction goes back further than we care to remember, and is unlike anything you will have experienced before.
The best way to sum it up in one word is OUTRAGEOUS.
It is an opportunity for outrageous giving to some highly worthy causes connected with 24-7 Prayer.

- Browse the causes and the auction lots
Take a look through all of the items on offer in the auction, and pay particular attention to the causes they are going to support.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I bid?
We want everyone to be involved, but please only donate what you can afford to give. We’re encouraging outrageous generosity, but if you give £1 or £1000, you are still a star in our eyes.
Can I donate towards more than one item?
Of course! Donate towards as many items as many times as you like but, as hard as it may be, try not to get too carried away!
Where does my money go?
Each lot will support a different cause, and all causes are listed on the website. ALL the money received from the donations will go to that cause.
