President Donald Trump unveiled the “America Prays” campaign Sept. 8, calling on Americans to hold weekly prayer gatherings as the US prepares to mark 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence next year. Speaking at Washington D.C.’s Museum of the Bible, Trump laid out the initiative, urging Americans to dedicate one hour each week, gathering in groups of 10 or more, to pray for the nation, its leaders, families, freedoms, and future. “Next year, we will celebrate 250 years since that Declaration was signed,” Trump said. “We’ve invited America’s great faith communities to pray for our nation and for our people and for peace in the world.”
