Chaplain's Corner
Every year on the first Thursday in
May, an annual observance is held inviting
people of all faiths to pray for the
nation. President Harry S. Truman signed
it into law in 1952. There is even a task force whose
purpose is to encourage participation in
the National Day of Prayer. As our
Commander in Chief, the President of the
United States attends a National Prayer
Breakfast. What is a prayer breakfast? Believe it
or not, there is actually an organization
called the Prayer Breakfast Network
(PBN). The goal of the PBN is to reach every
city across the United States with a
well-planned prayer breakfast. The purpose
is to reach leaders for Jesus Christ. The
objective is to pray for all in authority
that we may live Godly lives. The strategy
of the PBN is to use prayer breakfast
events, which have been shown to be highly
effective at reaching into the communities
and impacting local leaders. Leaders who
desire to get involved, and experience a
fresh reminder of our country's spiritual
heritage. |
