Abbott, who spent a num-
ber of years in Longview while
growing up, is most concerned
about the regression of Christi-
anity, Higgs said.
“‘We’ve got to get our people
back volunteering in the com-
munity and in their churches,’
is what he said,” according to
Higgs.
“He said, ‘We’ve got to get
our people back. Christians
must help their communities
make decisions.’”
The governor twice asked for
prayer from the group of min-
isters. He also was directed in
his intentions, saying “Being a
Christian is more than sitting in
a pew for an hour on Sunday,”’
Higgs said.
On Sunday, Higgs incorpo-
rated nto his message some of
what Abbott talked about last
week.
The low-key meeting took
place without any media pres-
ent or even a capitol photog-
rapher, Higgs said. “I really
believe it was from his heart,”

own smartphone to get a pic-
