Bishop Robert Stearns (l) and Rev. Samuel Rodriguez (r) are hosted by Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Fleur Hassan.

An executive order signed by President Trump on Thursday directed newly sworn-in U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to head a “task force” that will “eradicate anti-Christian bias” in the government.

“The mission of this task force will be to immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government. The task force will work to fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society and to “move Heaven and Earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide.”

One of the White House’s officially nominated faith advisors, Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, is visiting Israel this week on a mission led by Bishop Robert Stearns, founder of Eagles Wings Ministries. 

Rodriguez is the lead pastor of the New Season megachurch in California and president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, which represents millions of Christians worldwide, praised Trump’s actions. “The very freedoms we hold dear as Americans are derived from the Christian values on which this nation is built,” Rodriguez said in a statement.
