I Prayed have prayed
God we lift up the people of Puerto Rico to You, and ask You to restore order and peace to them. We pray that the leaders of Puerto Rico will be godly men and women who serve You.

Thousands of protesters filled the streets Saturday to protest Puerto Rican Gov. Ricardo Rosselló after offensive chat comments were leaked….

Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, along with NHCLC leaders released the following statement on the unfolding political crisis in Puerto Rico:

As an American of Puerto Rican descent, I am extremely troubled by the recent developments in the commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is much more than an island. Our blessed land continues to change the world with the arts, creativity, innovation and unbridled spirituality.

Accordingly, the messages and chats emerging from the Commonwealth’s senior political leadership can best be described as reprehensible.

For that matter, we, the NHCLC, hereby call upon the governor and his administration to take all the necessary steps to repair the damage and facilitate a political environment that fosters trust and serves reconciliation.

Puerto Rico overcame Hurricane Maria. This land of enchantment will likewise overcome these repulsive chats. I welcome the news Gov. Rosselló will not seek re-election, yet Puerto Rico similarly needs to overcome corruption in its political apparatus, unfunded entitlements, uncontrollable debt and constant political gridlock.

I pray that out of this crisis Puerto Rico becomes more united, invigorated by purpose and the promise that Puerto Rico 2.0 will be greater, in all metrics, than ever before.

Puerto Rico, rise up, in Jesus’ name!
