EXCLUSIVE – President Donald Trump will announce the launch of "America Prays" at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. today while tying the faith-driven initiative to the nation’s 250th birthday.
The inspiring program calls on Americans to dedicate time every week to pray for the country and to underscore faith as central to the nation’s founding and future.
"President Trump has revived one of America’s most prominent and powerful founding principles — we are one nation under God," White House Spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Fox News Digital. "As we approach the 250th anniversary of the greatest country in the world, President Trump invites Americans to pray for our nation and for our people. America is stronger with the power of prayer."
The initiative also suggests people join with at least 10 others each week to pray.
The announcement will follow Trump’s appearance at the Iowa State Fairgrounds back in July, where he kicked off America250, the official year-long celebration.
"As we prepare to celebrate two and a half centuries of freedom, I am inviting America’s great religious communities to pray for our nation and for our people," Trump said at the time. "From the beginning, this has always been a country sustained and strengthened by prayer. If we bring religion back stronger, you’re going to see everything get better. So as we chart our course toward the next 250 years, let us rededicate ourselves to one nation under God."
The launch of America Prays Monday extends that message into a faith-driven initiative.
