As young black leaders gathered Friday in the White House for the Young Black Leadership Summit, one voice split the room asking for a moment to pray for President Donald Trump.
Turning Point USA’s Benny Johnson shared video of what happened when the president brought the young woman to the podium. Mahalet, once an abandoned, impoverished orphan from Ethiopia, earned smiles and cheers from the president and the gathered crowd.
“Dear God, I’m not really good at this,” Mahalet laughed. “But I just want to say thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to be in the White House. Thank you for giving us a great leader like Trump, Mr. Donald Trump, and I would like to thank you for waking up our nation.”
She continued, asking God for protection both for the nation and for the president, adding, “God, I believe that you gave him to us and I believe that he’s gonna accomplish so much more. I know you have more for us.”
“Jesus I ask you to protect us and walk with us and in Jesus’ name the enemy tries to attack us every single day,” Mahalet concluded. “He tries to discourage us but he has no room. He has no room, no more, and that’s all I have to say.”

Thank you for the ping, AW. We have seen a lot of Christian courage this week! Glory to Him.
That was nice.
Re Ethiopia:
Acts 8:27-40.
However, almost all Bibles have removed verse 37.
Thank you, Norski
Woden’s Day. Thor’s Day. Friga’s Day.
The look on Trump’s face in interesting. I can imagine him thinking, “Thank you Lord for this encouragement.”
Yes!! The left thought she would be the President, and God Laughed. Please pray for him daily!

I hope people do understand that Ethiopia is Christian country—in fact, one of the oldest continuous Christian countries in the world. Their Coptic brand of Christianity goes back to soon after the Crucifixion.
They were Christian for centuries while in England the Angles and Saxons were still worshiping Wooden, Thur and Friga.
They are wonderful people besides being good Christians.
Amen, and thanks to this beautiful young woman.

Love it!! Going to need to tell my dear nephew that!! When talking about the second coming he always texts me a grand " YEE HAW!"
Thanks for the ping, AW! God is doing amazing things! Praise Him and give Him Glory!
Acts 8, 10 and 11 were the chapters my elders used whenever someone brought up the idea the races should be separated.
Peter and the Ethiopian was quoted quite often.
Isn’t there a small church in Ethiopia where the Ark of the Covenant supposedly resides? Pretty cool if true!
Thanks!
My wife and I missed Church today for a semi medical reason.
We have just spent an hour reading about verse 37 not being in many bibles.

What do you feel was the reason for omitting verse 37?
Acts 8:27-40 King James Version (KJV)
27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
