Evangelist Franklin Graham is joining with 250 Christian leaders in a call for a “special day of prayer” to be observed on June 2 for President Donald Trump.
Graham made the announcement on Twitter and on a Facebook posting.
“Along with 250+ Christian leaders, I am asking followers of Christ across our nation to set aside next Sunday, June 2, as a special day of prayer for the President, Donald J. Trump,” he wrote on Facebook.
He said the president’s “enemies continue to try everything to destroy him, his family, and the presidency.” He noted “no president has been attacked as he has.”
“I believe the only hope for him, and this nation, is God,” he said.
He asked that pastors lead their congregations in praying for the president. He also asked that Sunday schools and other groups join in prayer for Trump.
“I and many other Christian leaders across the country are asking you to take a moment during that day to pray for President Donald Trump,” he said in a video posted on Twitter.
