A group of evangelical leaders prayed over President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, with Vice President Mike Pence in attendance as well.
Following a meeting hosted by the Office of Public Liaison on Monday, the evangelical leaders met with President Trump and administration officials in the Oval Office.
Johnnie Moore, president of the KAIROS Company and an attendee of the prayer meeting, snapped a photo of the laying of hands on Trump that is garnering immense attention on social media.
In a statement emailed to The Christian Post, Moore described the event as “a very special moment but it was also not an unusual one.”
“Various ones of us have prayed with him many times and have been praying for him for a long time … We believe we are a praying nation, and we begin by praying for our leaders,” stated Moore.
“As you know, most evangelicals believe it’s a sacred responsibility to pray for the president, and this is very much in our tradition as Americans who once took — and sometimes still do take — this responsibility seriously.”
