A “faith briefing” at the White House . . .  saw Christian music artists hold an impromptu worship session, singing songs of praise near the Oval Office.

In social media posts, some participants, including Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) recording artists, described learning more about the administration’s faith-based initiatives, and having what they called an remarkable experience of singing praise songs in that location.

“Completely moved and inspired by what we got to be a part of today at the Faith Briefing at the White House,” said Christian musician Sarah Reeves. “The media can portray such a distorted picture of our leaders but today we prayed, worshiped and learned a bit more truth behind the scenes. Truly proud to be an American. Thank you to our president and leaders who fight for our freedom daily.”

“Wow. What a day. Had the honor to go the White House for a Faith Briefing with key administration officials and faith leaders,” said Bethel Music director of events, Dominic Shahbon. “Specifically, to hear about faith initiatives that are happening. Great things are taking place whether the media tells us or not! Let’s just say that I’m leaving Washington, DC stirred, hopeful, convicted and informed with TRUTH.”

Christian singer and songwriter Kari Jobe said attendees had learned about “incredible things that are going on behind the scenes that media and news never talk about. Projects to rescue victims of Human trafficking, rehabilitate former inmates, take care of foster children, help neighborhoods and communities that are falling apart, help rebuild cities after tragedy .. just to name a few.”

“I don’t engage in political jargon & conversations – but I do engage when the Holy Spirit puts a burden to pray or do whatever He has spoken and obey Him,” she said. “I was moved and reminded to pray every day for our leaders and government.” . . .

Members of We Are Messengers, an Irish worship band based in Nashville, Tenn., said the visit had given them “a genuine sense of Hope for this nation.”

“God is in control and has people at the very top level of Government who are working day in and day out to reach people with the love of Christ, to raise up the lowly, to take care of widows and orphans, to re-energize communities and faith communities all across the USA,” they said. “We need to pray for this Government and unite with them in the Work they are doing.” (Excerpted from CNS News.)
