Mike Pence Invokes Lincoln in Final Appeal to Evangelical Voters
This Sunday, in more than 1,000 churches across America, Republican vice presidential nominee Indiana Gov. Mike Pence will make his closing argument to evangelicals in the form of a nearly five-minute video.
In it, he discusses his personal faith story, and how he is “proud” to stand with his running mate, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. He also urges Christians to get on their knees and pray for the final days leading up to Tuesday’s general election.
“Pray for our country,” he said. “But as you do so, please pray as Lincoln said was his prayer; not so much that God would be on our side, but that we would be, in his words, on God’s side.
“Because I truly do believe in my heart of hearts that has been true for millennia is still true today. If His people, who are called by His name, will humble themselves and pray, He’ll again do as He has always done throughout the storied history of this nation, He’ll hear from heaven and He’ll heal our land. This one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
