However, we have prayed for years for him to be personally saved. Furthermore, we know the Lord has been working on him ever since an assassin nearly took his life last July.\n<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the President\u2019s personal beliefs are, it is clear he is sensitive to and reverent toward the Gospel.
