Not all those in the prayer circle can be identified but the group includes Cain; Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church of Dallas; Ralph Reed of Faith and Freedom Coalition; and Gary Bauer of Family Research Council. Tom Mullins of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., led the spoken prayer. He is founding pastor of Christ Fellowship, a multi?site church of 30,000 people meeting on 15 campuses around South Florida. Praying to God on behalf of Trump, Mullins said: "I pray for Your grace and Your protection over him. I pray for Your grace and Your protection over our troops and all of our men and women serving in our armed forces. And Father we just pray You continue to give our president the strength that he needs to lead our nation as we come back to one nation under God."...
