WASHINGTON, July 15, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- Freedom From Chains (www.FreedomFromChains.org) will join believers in prayer and worship on the National Mall to exalt the name of Jesus at an event called "Together 2016." The free event will take place on July 16th and will feature 40+ well-known speakers, recording artists, authors and leaders from various backgrounds for a day of unified prayer and worship.
 
Freedom From Chains (FFC) is a Christian missionary organization designed to bring hope to a hurting world through child sponsorship, native missionary sponsorship and compassion ministries. When asked why FFC would join believers at "Together 2016," President and CEO, Alex Rosputko, said, "I believe the Bible. In Psalm 50:15 God says, 'Call upon me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor me.' Following the week of violence in our nation, FFC is uniting with other believers to pray that God will rescue and unite us so that we can honor Him."
