The Church must be healthy if it's to lead healing, says Jesus Culture founder, as post-election unrest continues

Banning Liebscher (pictured above with his wife Seajay) spoke as demonstrators have continued to demonstrate after Donald Trump's presidential election victory, including in Oregon where Portland police used tear gas and flash-bang grenades in a bid to disperse crowds.

Speaking with Premier, Liebscher said: "The election isn't healing divides and I think the Church's job is to be unified, to be connected and to be healing and a solution to nations.

The founder of Jesus Culture - a global movement focused on sharing Christ to young people through campus ministries, conferences, worship and other means - spoke as more protests are being planned in areas including Los Angeles and Las Vegas at the weekend.

Traffic in Miami and Atlanta were disrupted by evening marches on Friday, while hundreds of people took to the streets in Los Angeles, among other parts of California.

Banning Liebscher also said: "Whatever I see on the news, whatever I see being portrayed, whatever I see out there, there's a different story that I'm attached to: God has great things planned for America.

"No matter who is in the White House, God is going to do significant things in that nation. It's the same thing in Europe and the same thing across the UK."

Friday's demonstrations were dwarfed by previous rallies across New York, Chicago or other major US cities which drew thousands of people and were largely peaceful, although sporadic incidents of vandalism and violence did occur.
