Renowned Nigerian cleric, Pastor William F. Kumuyi, the General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, has been invited to minister at the second inauguration of United States President-elect Donald Trump, scheduled for January 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
The invitation, confirmed by A. Larry Ross Communications, a prominent U.S.-based public relations firm, underscores Trump’s commitment to including globally influential spiritual leaders in the historic event. Pastor Kumuyi, celebrated for his message of holiness and sanctification, will join other distinguished figures to lead prayers and invoke blessings on the new administration.
Reacting to the news, Pastor Kumuyi praised Trump for his “bold commitment to defending Christian values and championing international religious freedom.” He acknowledged the significant strides made by the President-elect during his first term, particularly in strengthening faith-based initiatives and fostering moral leadership on a global scale.
During his visit to Washington, D.C., Pastor Kumuyi is expected to participate in several high-profile engagements, including meetings with U.S. lawmakers, prominent church leaders, and influential media personalities.
The announcement follows a similar revelation by Nigerian gospel singer and pastor Nathaniel Bassey, who will minister at the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast. This back-to-back recognition of Nigerian faith leaders highlights the country’s growing influence on the global Christian community.
Trump’s team has commended Nigeria’s unwavering spiritual, moral, and financial support for his re-election campaign. Many Nigerians see Pastor Kumuyi’s invitation as a testament to the country’s global impact on faith and leadership.
“Congratulations to Pastor Kumuyi,” a prominent observer noted. “This is an opportunity to call down God’s sanctifying power on the new administration. We pray for Trump’s continued protection and success.”
With just days to the inauguration, the presence of Pastor Kumuyi and other global spiritual leaders promises to set a tone of unity and faith for the incoming administration.
