The White House: A group of evangelical leaders spontaneously prayed with President Trump in the Oval Office Monday during a day-long “listening session” with the Office of Public Liaison.

Jennifer Korn, special assistant to the President, organized the meeting, but the prayer time was an unexpected bonus, Johnnie Moore said. “When the West Wing became aware that we were on the property, they invited us over to spend a few minutes,” he said.

He described the president as “in wonderful spirits” as did Tony Suarez, executive vice president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference.

President Trump’s Relationship with Evangelical Leaders Provides More Access

Moore acknowledged that the Trump administration has not organized a specific office for evangelicals, unlike the Obama administration which created the Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships or the Bush administration which oversaw the White House Office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives. Moore said the current relationship, however informal, has provided more access.

After the meeting, Tony Perkins told Family Research Council (FRC) supporters that he’s found the Trump administration to be “genuinely interested and responsive to the concerns of the evangelical community” and added that after 14 years in Washington, D.C. “I am more optimistic that we can change the course of this country.”  Read the full story…. www1.cbn.com
