Prominent "Prosperity Gospel" Televangelist Says He Will Endorse Donald Trump

(Bloomberg) - Mike Murdock, head pastor at the Wisdom Center ministry, joins a handful of evangelical leaders backing the Republican presidential hopeful ahead of the South Carolina primary.

Days before the first Southern primary of 2016, Mike Murdock, a prominent Texas-based televangelist, will formally endorse Republican Donald Trump for president at a rally in Greenville, South Carolina, on Monday.
