United States President-elect Donald Trump wants Pastor William Kumuyi, the revered General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, to attend his second inauguration in Washington, D.C., on Monday, January 20, 2025.
The invitation, confirmed by A. Larry Ross Communications, a leading U.S.-based public relations firm, reflects Trump’s desire to have globally influential spiritual leaders present at this historic event, highlighting the significance of faith in his leadership journey.
In the statement regarding the invitation, Pastor Kumuyi commended Donald Trump for his bold commitment to defending Christian values and championing international religious freedom throughout his first term in office.
He lauded Trump’s efforts to strengthen faith-based initiatives and prioritize issues that resonate deeply with the global Christian community.
Kumuyi noted that these initiatives have not only bolstered religious liberty in the U.S. but also sparked important conversations on the need for moral leadership worldwide.
During this visit to Washington, D.C., Pastor Kumuyi is expected to engage in a series of high-profile meetings with U.S. lawmakers, prominent church leaders, and influential media representatives.
This is coming shortly after Nigerian gospel singer and pastor, Nathaniel Bassey, recently made headlines following his tell-all account behind his invitation to the same upcoming US Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast.
While ministering at Pastor Poju Oyemade’s World Faith Believers Convention (WOFBEC), Bassey recounted the life-changing phone call that led to this honor.
The acclaimed gospel artist revealed that Reverend Merrie Turner extended the invitation after a moment of divine inspiration during prayer. According to Turner, she felt led by God to call on Bassey to bring His glory upon the United States through his ministry.
