The Christian Post reports:
Speaking at the Prestonwood Baptist Church in Texas on Sunday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stressed America’s responsibility to model Christian behavior and to be a light unto the world amid pressure from critics who say faith must be kept out of the public square.
Jack Graham, the pastor of the Plano megachurch, introduced Secretary Pompeo, saying his resume is incredible but “first and foremost, he’s a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ and a believer in our Savior.”
Pompeo said a previous national security adviser criticized him, arguing that “it was problematic that Mike Pompeo is overtly religious.” Pompeo underlined, “Connecting faith to America’s foreign policy is imperative. It’s a good thing.”
This is how the State Dept originally described Pompeo’s visit to a Texas church: “Finally, Secretary Pompeo will return to the United States to discuss Department of State priorities at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas.”

Pompeo this morning at a Church in Texas: “How America leads in the world is being watched. And there is an absolute responsibility to make sure that they understand our founding as a Judeo-Christian nation.”
