Cruz: Evangelical Support Continues to Surge Around the Nation
SPRINGFIELD, MO – Presidential candidate Ted Cruz today announced the endorsements of more than 30 Missouri pastors and faith leaders. The initiative, known as Operation Gideon, is based on the biblical story of Gideon, who led a small handful of men in defeating a foreign army of oppressors.
“Heidi and I are grateful for the prayers and support of these faithful men and women,” Cruz said. “As people of strong faith and as leaders in their communities, they have tremendous responsibility and influence. It is humbling to have their public endorsement of our campaign. As these leaders stand with me today, I pledge to continue standing with people of faith to defend every American’s God-given right to religious liberty and reignite the promise of America.”
“There is no greater advocate and defender of religious freedom than Ted Cruz. I would urge all people of faith and good will in Missouri to prayerfully and seriously consider supporting Ted Cruz for President of the United States,” said Don Hinkle, Public Policy Director of the Missouri Baptist Convention.
