Do you want Christians to have more of a voice in government and community? If so, you will want to keep track of what the newly established White House Faith Office (WHFO) is doing, as President Trump has tasked the WHFO with doing a huge amount of work to protect religious liberty and advocate for faith-based organizations!

Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.

One of the key players in this effort is Mrs. Jennifer (Jenny) Korn. [If you want to follow her work, find her on X (formerly Twitter) here as @JennySKorn.]

Who is Ms. Korn?

Jennifer Korn is the new Deputy Director and Special Assistant to the President at The White House Faith Office. (She is working in that office with Pastor Paula White-Cain.)

Korn hails from southern California, where in 1994 she earned a BA in Journalism and Political Science from Pepperdine University (a Christian university associated with the Churches of Christ). She is a military spouse as well.

What is Korn’s background?

According to WhiteHouse.gov, Ms. Korn is serving “as a Deputy Assistant to the President and Faith Director of the newly created White House Faith Office after serving as Senior Advisor of National Faith Advisory Board, America’s largest faith coalition.

Korn previously served President Trump all four years as Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Liaison and during the 2016 Presidential Election leading Latino, Minority, Faith, Veteran and other coalition engagement for historic gains among these communities.”

A visit to Korn’s LinkedIn profile shows that she has been working with different initiatives to engage communities in politics for over 20 years. A large portion of her experience has been working with the Latino voting bloc specifically, engaging Hispanic voters in conservative causes.

Why was Jennifer Korn selected to help lead the White House Faith Office?

President Trump has tasked the WHFO with a huge list of responsibilities to help faith-based organizations solve problems, strengthen families, combat anti-religious bias, and defend religious freedom at the local level. With her huge background in building partnerships between communities and causes, Korn seems to be an ideal pick to help engage organizations to step up and be vocal about these things.

Additionally, from a political strategy perspective, Korn is a godsend to the Republican cause. The Hispanic voting bloc is sought after by both Democrats and Republicans, but the AP estimated before and during the 2024 election that only 43% of the Latino vote went to Donald Trump.

As a Latina who has been engaging Hispanic voters in conservative causes for over 20 years, Korn can also help court the Latino voting bloc—a key segment of the population. Including the nationwide Hispanic community in conservative causes is going to be essential for sustaining the political reformation that is happening in America today.

What challenges is she facing in her role?

Ms. Korn is helping lead an organization that is combating serious levels of anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, and anti-religious bias and hate from the liberal front. She is also working hard to ensure that faith-based organizations are on a level playing field when it comes to applying for federal funding for their community initiatives.

Considering how much liberal, anti-Christian and anti-Semitic bias we have seen at all levels of government for many years, she has an uphill battle in front of her in many ways.

How can we pray for Ms. Korn?

Here are a few prayer points to remember as you pray for Jennifer Korn and the White House Faith Office in general:

• Pray that the Lord will give her and all the WHFO staff great wisdom. The Bible says that wisdom is the principal thing!
• Ask the Lord to give her and her team ‘witty inventions’ and strategies to support faith-based organizations and their work in local communities.
• Pray that the Lord would give her the words to speak to defend religious liberty at every occasion, especially with the liberal, mainstream media—including interviews, TV appearances, and so on.
• Pray for Korn, Pastor Paula White-Cain, and the WHFO to have great success in inspiring and supporting faith-based organizations to solve problems at the community level.
• Ask the Lord to pour out His Spirit of grace and supplication on the entire White House, including the WHFO—and that God’s glory, His Holy Spirit, and a spirit of prayer would permeate the whole place.
• Ask the Lord to deliver the WHFO staff from the wrong ideas and counselors, and to bring them all the right ideas, suggestions, partners, and counselors.
• Pray that the Lord would protect Korn and all the WHFO staff from scandal of any sort, that the name of Christ would not be maligned.
• Pray that the Lord would move in power in our nation to eliminate anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, and anti-religious bias of any sort.
• Ask the Lord to expose anti-religious bias wherever it is, and to deal with it justly.

Friend, the current administration has a gargantuan task in front of them in combating anti-religious bias (particularly anti-Christian and anti-Semitic bias). Jennifer Korn, Pastor Paula White-Cain, and the WHFO team are going to need wisdom from on high every single day. Would you pray and ask the Lord to move through them and on their behalf with His mighty right hand?
