The Gathering Place
When I was young, our village had a large tree in the center of an open field where people would gather. It wasn't anyone's property, it belonged to everyone. Under that tree, farmers met merchants, travelers found directions, families arranged marriages, and strangers became friends. The tree didn't replace our homes or our church. It was simply where we gathered, where we found each other.

"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." - Matthew 18:20

We are building something called ChurchGate, a gathering place for Christians worldwide. Not a church, not replacing your pastor or your local community. Just a place where believers can find each other, where ministries can connect, where the Body of Christ can help one another. Like ushers in a sanctuary, we're here to help you find what you need.

I moved for work and visited 12 churches in 18 months. Every time I felt like an outsider. Eventually I just stopped going.
This story repeats millions of times. Believers isolated not because they stopped loving Jesus, but because they couldn't find where they belong.
The gate is in your heart. The family is everywhere. Let's connect them.

A childhood memory:

After harvest season, we kids would go into the paddy fields and collect the grain that fell during the main harvest—the remnants. We'd bundle them and bring them to church.

This was gleaning. It's biblical (Ruth 2, Leviticus 19).

Today, I see remnants in the Christian harvest.

People who know Jesus but have no church home.
Real believers with no denomination label.
Scattered sheep with no shepherd nearby.

God commanded: "Leave some grain for those who come after."

That's why we are launching ChurchGate.

Not a church. An online gathering place.
Not competition. A gleaning field.

More soon.
