上帝啊，我们将我们的总统托付给你。我们为他与你的关系不断成长祷告。

川普分享信仰在他的生活和政策中的作用

2020年10月26日，川普总统接受了宗教新闻社的采访。你可能会发现这些问题和答案非常有趣和鼓舞人心! 以下是采访记录（翻译：果子）：

川普总统与宗教新闻社的问答：

1: 上周你提到感谢上帝让你染上了新冠病毒. 在你的抗疫经历中，你在属灵方面学到了什么？

川普总统：看到这么多伟大的美国人伸出援手，说他们在为我和我的家人祷告，真是令人惊讶。这个国家充满了对神有强烈信仰的优秀人士。梅拉尼娅和我感受到了来自全国各地–甚至世界各地的美国人的祷告。当我在沃尔特∙里德时，我说：“有奇迹从天而降！” 我是认真的–梅拉尼娅和我非常感谢上帝照顾我们的家人，让我们恢复健康。

2：你经常与有影响力的福音派领袖（如宝拉·怀特、杰克·格雷厄姆、葛福临）交往，你从他们身上学到了什么属灵的东西？

川普总统：我很荣幸能和许多有信仰的美国人一起工作，包括我们伟大的副总统迈克·彭斯、信仰顾问宝拉·怀特以及其他许多人。这些人真正爱我们的国家，爱上帝。我听到并倾听他们的声音。

本月早些时候，葛福临牧师和其他一些伟大的信仰领袖来到椭圆形办公室，像他们经常做的那样，为我和我们的国家祈祷。这些了不起的人热爱美国，并真诚地希望为改善所有美国人的生活而共同努力。这些领导人对美国的传统价值观充满热情，希望我们的教会能够开放。我感谢他们的祷告，并为他们的伟大信仰所鼓舞。

3：鉴于你得到了福音派基督徒的支持，尤其是福音派基督徒，你认为自己是一个福音派基督徒吗？为什么或为什么不是？

川普总统：我从小和家人一起在纽约市上教会。我的父母从小就教导我信仰和祷告的重要性。虽然我小时候在长老会信主，但我现在认为自己是一个非教派的基督徒。梅拉尼娅和我有机会参观一些令人惊叹的教会，并与来自世界各地的伟大信仰领袖会面。在史无前例的新冠病毒爆发期间，我收看了几个虚拟教会的礼拜，我知道数百万美国人也是这样做的。值得庆幸的是，许多伟大的教会现在又恢复了开放，亲身聚会。事实上，就在上个周末，我访问了拉斯维加斯国际教会，享受了一场美丽的礼拜。

4：你做了什么来帮助世界各地受迫害的基督徒？

川普总统：在我的领导下，美利坚合众国将永远支持宗教自由。我把安德鲁∙布伦森牧师从土耳其的监狱带回家。我制裁了古巴和委内瑞拉的共产主义者和社会主义者，因为他们不尊重宗教自由。我所在的国务院连续几年举办了历史上最大规模的人权活动，期间我在椭圆形办公室接待了多名宗教迫害的幸存者。上个月，我们在历史性的《亚伯拉罕协议》的第一段中就强调了宗教自由的重要性。

去年，我自豪地成为第一位在联合国主持关于保护世界各地宗教自由的会议的美国总统。我在演讲中提醒世界各国领导人，我们的权利不是来自政府，而是来自上帝–我明确呼吁世界各国结束宗教迫害。在那次事件之后，我发布了《关于促进国际宗教自由的行政命令》，巩固了美国自己对这一关键问题的承诺，将其列为美国外交政策的优先事项，并承诺我们将尊重和大力促进这一自由。我的政府通过增加对援助受迫害的宗教团体的方案的资助，保护了全世界的宗教自由。正如我在联合国所说的那样，美国与每个国家的信徒站在一起，他们只要求按照自己心中的信仰自由生活。只要我是总统，我们就会继续这样做。

5：你延续了过去几届政府的努力，设立了“信仰办公室”。自2018年你设立 “信仰与机会计划” 以来，该计划产生了哪些具体成果，你期望它在未来几年内取得哪些成就？

川普总统：我在2018年5月签署了一项行政命令，设立了“白宫信仰与机会倡议”办公室，以确保有信仰的美国人在政府中拥有发言权。

白宫信仰与机会倡议办公室是信仰团体的前门。在本届政府的领导下，我们首次在每个内阁机构中设立了办公室或联络员。这个办公室在白宫已经接待了数千名信仰领袖，在白宫举行简报会，听取他们的想法，并与他们合作，维护宗教自由、保护我们的价值观念、减轻贫困、加强婚姻和家庭、增加精神保健、遏制药物滥用和吸毒、结束无家可归、减少犯罪和改革我们的监狱。在宝拉·怀特牧师的领导下，这个倡议正在努力消除那些不公平地阻止信仰组织与联邦政府合作或接受联邦政府资助的障碍。我对我们为捍卫美国价值观和保护我们伟大的第一修正案所做的工作感到非常自豪。

临近大选时寒冷的密西根川普大选集会上，天主教姐妹们的支持！

The following Q&A was part of a written interview with President Trump for Religion News Service. His answers appear in full below.

1. Last week you gave reference to thanking God that you had COVID. What did you learn spiritually during your COVID experience?

It was amazing to see so many great Americans who reached out and said they were praying for me and my family. This country is full of wonderful people with strong faith in God. Melania and I felt the prayers of Americans from all across the country – and even around the world. When I was at Walter Reed, I said, “There were miracles coming down from heaven.” I meant it – Melania and I are very thankful to God for looking out for our family and returning us to good health.

2. You are regularly associated with influential Evangelical leaders (i.e. Paula White, Jack Graham, Franklin Graham) what have you learned from them spiritually?

I am honored to work with many Americans of faith, including our great Vice President Mike Pence, Faith Advisor Paula White, and so many others. These people truly love our country and love God. I hear and listen to them. Earlier this month, Franklin Graham and some other great faith leaders came to the Oval Office to pray for me and our country as they often do. These amazing people love the U.S.A. and have a genuine desire to work together for the betterment of all Americans. These leaders are passionate about America’s traditional values and want our churches to be open. I appreciate their prayers and am encouraged by their great faith.

3. Given the support you have received from evangelical Christians in particular, do you consider yourself to be an evangelical Christian and, why or why not?

I grew up going to church with my family in New York City. My parents taught me the importance of faith and prayer from a young age. Though I was confirmed at a Presbyterian church as a child, I now consider myself to be a non-denominational Christian. Melania and I have gotten to visit some amazing churches and meet with great faith leaders from around the world. During the unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak, I tuned into several virtual church services and know that millions of Americans did the same. Thankfully, many great churches are now back open and meeting in person. In fact, just this past weekend I visited the International Church of Las Vegas and enjoyed a beautiful service.

4. What have you done to help persecuted Christians around the world?

Under my leadership, the United States of America will always stand for freedom of religion. I brought Pastor Andrew Brunson home from a prison in Turkey. I sanctioned the communists and socialists in Cuba and Venezuela because they don’t respect religious freedom. My State Department held the largest human rights event in history several years in a row during which I hosted multiple survivors of religious persecution in the Oval Office. Last month, we highlighted the importance of religious freedom in the very first paragraph of the historic Abraham Accords.

Last year, I was proud to become the first United States President to host a meeting at the United Nations on protecting religious freedom around the world. In my speech, I reminded the world’s leaders that our rights do not come from government, they come from God—and I explicitly called upon the nations of the world to end religious persecution. I followed that event with an Executive Order on Advancing International Religious Freedom that solidified America’s own commitment to this critical issue, by naming it as a foreign policy priority of the United States and promising that we will respect and vigorously promote this freedom. My Administration has protected religious freedom worldwide by increasing funding for programs that aid persecuted religious communities. As I said at the United Nations, America stands with believers in every country who ask only for the freedom to live according to the faith that is within their own hearts. And we will continue to do so for as long as I am President.

5. You have continued the efforts of past administrations to have a “faith-based office.” What specific results have been produced by the Faith and Opportunity Initiative since you established it in 2018 and, if you are re-elected, what do you expect it to accomplish in the coming years?

I signed an Executive Order in May 2018 that established a White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative to ensure Americans of faith have a voice in their government.

The White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative serves as the front door for the faith community. Under my Administration, we have established an office or liaison in every Cabinet agency for the first time. This office has hosted thousands of faith leaders for briefings at the White House to hear their ideas and partner with them on preserving religious freedom, protecting our values, alleviating poverty, strengthening marriages and families, increasing mental health care, curbing substance abuse and addiction, ending homelessness, reducing crime, and reforming our prisons. Led by Pastor Paula White, this Initiative is working to remove barriers which have unfairly prevented faith based organizations from working with or receiving funding from the federal government. I am very proud of the work we have done to safeguard American values and to protect our great First Amendment.

川普正在实践他的信仰

川普总统有苏格兰血统，他的母亲玛丽∙安妮∙麦克劳德来自刘易斯的赫布里底岛（the Hebridean Island of Lewis），移民到美国，和来自德国的弗雷德里克·川普（Frederick Trump）相识并结婚。上个世纪四十年代末在赫布里底岛曾有过一场属灵的复兴。愿这个曾“以耶和华为神的那国，是有福的”的国家，在他的带领下，再次伟大起来。（参见：川普近四年在生命权、家庭、宗教信仰方面的成绩单）

大选前两天，川普正在大选的拉力中实践他的信仰

自6月20日新冠病毒大流行后的第一场川普总统的大选集会，到11月1日凌晨，共48场。疫情挡不住川普为美国与人民服务的拼命，大病初愈后也拼了33场。

场场万人空港！场场汗血洒成！场场欢歌载舞！场场众喊：＂我们爱你！川普＂

川普：耶稣基督是世界上最伟大的人

10月27日在密西根兰辛的第一场大选集会是零下摄氏度，特别让人动容的是，川总与众人硬是顶着寒雨两小时站着演讲，这是真正的大选大赛，对照拜登地下室以病毒为由捂着口罩的＂拉力＂，川普关乎每一位选民的心立见高下。

我们的祷告

我们感谢上帝的施恩怜悯，给美国与人民 - 我们有机会悔改、回归、更新、复兴。

摩西带领以色列人出埃及、过红海，进入旷野时，他吩咐约书亚出去。

“于是约书亚照着摩西对他所说的话行，和亚玛力人争战。摩西、亚伦与户珥都上了山顶。摩西何时举手，以色列人就得胜；何时垂手，亚玛力人就得胜。但摩西的手发沉，他们就搬石头来，放在他以下，他就坐在上面。亚伦与户珥扶着他的手，一个在这边，一个在那边，他的手就稳住，直到日落的时候。约书亚用刀杀了亚玛力王和他的百姓。”出埃及记17:10-13
