Pastor William Kumuyi, the leader of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, took part in a special event before President Donald Trump’s inauguration in the United States.
The event, called the Inauguration Praise and Prayer Convocation, happened at the Greater New Hope Baptist Church. It was organized by Jim Garlow’s Well Versed World ministry along with Tony Perkins from the Family Research Council.
This gathering brought together faith leaders and believers to pray for the nation and its new government.
Pastor Kumuyi led prayers, encouraging the American church and its leaders to focus on holiness and righteousness as key steps for spiritual growth and national revival.
In his prayer, Pastor Kumuyi said, “Almighty God. We thank You and bless Your name. What a great and glorious God you are. I want to thank You, Lord, for the church in America. You said, upon this rock, You would build Your church – not just for that generation but for every generation, and You say the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
“Lord, we come in preparation for the celebration of Donald Trump, the president tomorrow. We’re asking that You will grant him wisdom and You will grant the church the unity, the revival, the knowledge, the vision, the forthrightness to speak the truth to power. And we pray, as You connect the church with the leader, that it will be a good unity, that You will help the President, and that the church will remain the church.
“Revive Your church, restore Your church and purge Your church that there will be the holiness and the righteousness You expect for Your church, and the church will have a meaningful ministry in the government, as well as for America.”
On the night before the inauguration, Pastor Kumuyi prayed in an interview, saying, “Almighty God, You chose to bring President-Elect Donald Trump to Your throne and to lead at this time. We’re asking that your grace will be with him through Your wisdom and Your power. And we pray You will help him remain focused on all the things he’s brought out in his campaign of giving Christ the recognition and the honor that He deserves. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.”
During his visit, Pastor Kumuyi also met with former North Carolina representative Robert Pittenger, Turning Point USA Faith’s Senior Director Lucas Miles, and media representatives.
Today, Donald Trump will be officially sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the oath of office during the inauguration ceremony in Washington, D.C.
