Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made an appeal directly to African-American voters while speaking at a black church in Detroit on Saturday and said they are 'God's greatest gift to our nation.'

The billionaire traveled to the city for a special service at the Great Faith International Ministries church along with Dr. Ben Carson and Omarosa Manigault, his director of African-American Outreach.

As the choir sang a Christian selection and members of the audience clapped their hands, Trump sported a slight grin as he swayed back and forth seemingly dancing along to the music.   

His latest trip comes amid criticism that Trump has yet to bring his message into black communities across America, after weeks of trying to appeal to black voters.

During his 20 minute remarks, Trump said: 'For centuries, the African-American church has been the conscience of this country. So true. 

'The African-American faith community has been one of God's greatest gifts to America and its people.'

Trump vowed that if he was elected president he would bring jobs back to impoverished black communities. 

Trump also promised that he would provide better education for the children who live within impoverished black neighborhoods. 

'But today, I'm here to listen,' he said while reading from a hand-written message. 'I mean it from the heart.' 

'I want to help you rebuild Detroit, make the city the economic envy of the world,' he said to applause. 'Things are going to get better.' 

He also told the congregation that African-American churches were the foundation of the civil rights movement, and included the Christian faith.

Yes. And, how many other Republicans courted the black community? Romney certainly didn't. Reagan did. Conservative policies work for everyone. And, Repos need to be able to articulate that. We all want the same things. Good jobs to be able to provide for our own families.
