This is all I can find right now. Perhaps no one got a shot of it.
Thank you for giving us a man of God as our President and for providing opportunities for him to witness in Your Name. We pray that His love for You would be acknowledged and understood by increasing numbers of people in other countries. Help him to be an ambassador for Jesus Christ and let him do all for the glory of You, our God. Amen.
