The General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry (DCLM), Pastor William Kumuyi, has reportedly received an invitation to attend Donald Trump’s second presidential inauguration on Monday, January 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C.

Kumuyi will be among other leaders witnessing Trump's swearing-in ceremony. Reflecting on Trump’s support for Christian values during his presidency, Kumuyi stated, “President Trump’s stand for the gospel is not without recognition, not just by American Christians, but all Christians globally”.

Discussing some of Trump’s initiatives, the Deeper Life Pastor mentioned, “During his first term, President Trump hosted the first-ever meeting of foreign ministers focused solely on international religious freedom. He promised to support Christian values and priorities.”

Kumuyi is scheduled to meet with US Congress members, American church leaders, and representatives from the media.

“This moment in history reminds us that faith transcends borders and unites believers worldwide,” he said.

“The global church stands together in prayer and purpose, advocating for faith-based dialogue to shape policies that uphold religious liberty.”

At the start of the year, Kumuyi emphasized, “We cannot continue to do things in the same way and expect better results. We need to interact with gatekeepers to further spread the gospel,” he urged during a global address earlier this year.

The clergyman will be accompanied by his wife, Esther Kumuyi.
