Pastor Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, who also recently spoke at TPUSA's Faith Forward Pastors Summit in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, shared his grief and outpouring of prayers. 

"Our hearts and prayers are with the entire Kirk family as we grieve the death of Charlie Kirk," he wrote on social media. "We are deeply saddened by the news of this horrific shooting. In moments like these we remember the words of the psalmist, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1)

"Almighty God, we need You. We pray for Your comfort and for an abiding sense of Your presence to draw near as our nation grieves this loss. Amen."
