In support of Gather25, a 25-hour worldwide gathering
Grand Rapids, MI, Feb. 2025 – Zondervan, a division of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, is pleased to announce its partnership with Gather25 founder and Bible teacher Jennie Allen for the release of the NIV Jesus Everywhere Bible.
“It has been our great pleasure to partner with Jennie and support her vision for this monumental event and the significant evangelism opportunity it creates,” said Melinda Bouma, vice president and publisher of Bibles for Zondervan. “The Jesus Everywhere Bible, available in the easy-to-read and understand New International Version, is the ideal outreach tool for Gather25 participants to share with others looking to discover God through his Word.”
Taking place February 28th and March 1st, Gather25 is the first 25-hour simultaneous gathering of Christ followers from all over the world for prayer, worship, repentance, and commissioning for the purpose of equipping Christians to go into the world to make disciples of all people. Gather25 will feature seven live events over six continents in one 25-hour period, with the goal of gathering the 2.5 billion Christians on earth to ultimately reach the 5.5 billion people who don’t yet know Jesus.
“March 1, 2025 will be some of the most important hours of our lives! 2.5 billion Christians calling on the name of Jesus to win hearts for Him,” said Allen. “We are so happy to have partnered with Zondervan on this wonderful resource that will help us realize our goal—one prayer, one heart, one moment at a time.”

The NIV is the result of over 50 years of work by the Committee on Bible Translation, who oversee the efforts of many contributing scholars. Representing the spectrum of evangelicalism, the translators come from a wide range of denominations and various countries and continually review new research to ensure the NIV remains at the forefront of accessibility, relevance, and authority.
