Vice President Pence delivered a heart-felt message to the gathering of Christian leaders. He said that President Trump is resolved to help persecuted Christians and religious minorities.
Vice President Pence said, "I am here on behalf of President Donald Trump as a tangible sign of his commitment-a commitment to defending Christians and all who suffer for their beliefs. Freedom to worship God according to our conscience is in the very fabric of our country. 'For I know the plans that I have for you...' True words when they were first spoken, true words today. Know that America stands with you."
