Issachar Gatherings
“Men of Issachar, who understood the times and knew what Israel should do.”
1 Chronicles 12:32
Small. Curated. Prayerful.
In recent years our convictions have found expression through what we have come to call Issachar Gatherings.
They are intentionally small. Thoughtfully curated. Centred on Scripture. Marked by honest conversation. Grounded in prayer. Often shared over a meal.
Their purpose is simple. To cultivate the kind of discernment described in Scripture: to understand the times, to know what faithfulness requires, to encourage one another to act with wisdom, humility and courage.
These gatherings have taken place in homes, hotels, churches and retreat settings across Europe and North America, bringing together people from many walks of life who share a desire to seek God’s wisdom together.
Longer Tables, Fewer Voices
Some gatherings take the form of a private dinner: a handful of guests, a carefully chosen room, one question worth an evening. Little is published. Nothing is performed. Friendships form that outlast the meal.
Others take the shape of a retreat — a day or two set apart for Scripture, silence, walking and unhurried counsel.
- Truth before ideology.
- Prayer before strategy.
- Presence before influence.
- Relationship before transaction.
- Faithfulness before visibility.
