Imagine hundreds of thousands of different churches, artists, leaders, groups, bands, and people of all ages and backgrounds standing together to ask Jesus for a reset or a fresh start.
It's going to happen!
On July 16, 2016, all kinds of people are planning to join together around Jesus on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. for Together 2016. Hillsong UNITED, Kari Jobe, Francis Chan, Ravi Zacharias and Nick Hall will be helping to lead the free event.
"We're hoping for one million people of all backgrounds to fill the National Mall," said Nick Hall, founder of PULSE, one of the many ministries and organizations behind Together 2016.
"Jesus said that His followers are family. We believe that it is time for a family gathering. Together is about unity. It's not about what divides us, but about the one who unites us - Jesus. The world sees division. We can change that. We're linking arms, lifting a unified sound and asking Jesus to reset our generation," said Hall.
Those supporting Together 2016 believe in the power of standing together. They also believe Jesus changes everything.
"I'm part of Together 2016 because I believe it's going to be a history-making moment," said Kari Jobe.
"I love the name Together," said Joel Houston of Hillsong UNITED. "There's a power in unity and a blessing that comes when people put aside their differences and gather together for one purpose. Our prayer is for this to be a reset for us as a generation of the church-in America and beyond."

Historic Gathering of Global Christian Leaders Urges Churches and Governments to Address Growing Concern for Persecution of Christians
|
|
An historic consultation of church leaders, drawn from 56 nations, to focus on intensifying 'discrimination, persecution and violence' against Christian communities around the world has called on churches globally to pray, support and be in solidarity with those suffering persecution due to their faith.
In a two pronged response the leaders:
- offered "repentance" for times when churches had "persecuted each other and other religious communities in history"; and,
- urged churches "to urgently strengthen the solidarity of all Christians" in the face of discrimination, persecution and martyrdom in the 21st century.
In a greeting from the Vatican, Pope Francis said, "I think with great sadness of the escalating discrimination, and persecution against Christians in the Middle East, Africa and Asia and elsewhere throughout the world.
"In various parts of the world, the witness to Christ, even to the shedding of blood, has become a shared experience of Catholics, Orthodox, Anglicans, Protestants, Evangelicals and Pentecostals," he said.
The consultation also called on governments to "respect and protect the freedom of religion and belief of all people as a fundamental human right."
In a public message from the consultation participants called on:
- Christians to pray for those who are discriminated against and persecuted;
- Christian organisations at regional, national and local levels from all traditions to learn, pray and work together for the persecuted;
- Churches to engage in dialogue and co-operation with other faith communities, and be watchful and fearless in the face of discrimination and persecution.
The historic gathering was the first time in modern history that every stream of global Christianity had joined together to listen and learn from Christians who experience discrimination, persecution and violence.
