1. Rev. Samuel Rodriguez
Hispanic Evangelical leader Samuel Rodriguez, 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 provided to The Christian Post.
"By establishing the faith office, President Trump continues to safeguard America's future against the anti-Christian bias that threatens our country. I commend his decisive action and celebrate this historic moment for our nation."

Rodriguez also supports Trump's appointment of Rev. Paula White as head of the new White House Faith Office, which will work to curb "anti-Christian bias." White has served as a spiritual adviser to Trump for years and helped lead the Evangelical advisory board during his 2016 campaign and first term in office.
Rodriguez expressed confidence in White, stating that he has known the Florida televangelist for years, describing her as "a champion for the Christian faith and religious freedom."
