Washington, D.C. – Vice President Mike Pence addressed the first ever World Summit in Defense of Persecuted Christians Thursday at the Mayflower Hotel in the nation’s capital. He may have been the special guest, but he let Rev. Franklin Graham have the first standing ovation for hosting the historic summit.
Pence’s presence at the conference was a “testament to President Trump’s tangible commitment to America’s role as a beacon of light and liberty to inspire the world,” he told the crowd.
The world needs that light more than ever.
“Across the world the Christian faith is under siege,” Pence somberly noted.
