This Exploration trip was designed for intergenerational GenNext families, from young-in-age to young-at-heart. We’ll head to the Dominican Republic to learn about education and entrepreneurship in a developing economy, in collaboration with our friends at Edify, by volunteering or teaching at a local Christian school (think VBS). Each traveler had an age-appropriate task.
The dost per person, which included lodging, meals, local ground transportation, and group activities (but not airfare or optional family excursions/rentals):
+ $2,000 – Children 11 and under
+ $2,400 – Adults and Youth 12 and over
Criteria to join our community events
- Follow Jesus as Lord and Savior.
- Give at least $200,000 a year to Christian causes. Though the number isn't a rigid threshold, it represents a proxy for the types of people who are asking and wrestling with the same questions around wise stewardship, giving well, avoiding pitfalls, raising the next generation, allocating resources, defining a family legacy, etc. People come to The Gathering to pursue relationships with peers who are exploring similar issues with a measure of humility, vulnerability, and trust.

Exploration: Immigration in Texas, Mexico, Honduras
From January 12 to 17, 2025, we will cross the border from America to Mexico to Honduras, tracing the reverse journey of millions of migrants. We will meet and interact with an incredible breadth of people whose paths intersect at the border, from American law enforcement agents who patrol the Chihuahuan Desert near El Paso, to the Honduran church leaders trying to create a hopeful future in rural towns.
Herschend family in Atlanta
This trip was designed for those building a scalable business, or hope to welcome your children into your family enterprise or philanthropy. It was an opportunity to hear insights from the Herschends, and discuss and process with fellow travelers who hold similar dreams.
