2013 National Prayer Breakfast

I have been extended an invitation by Congressman Burgess to attend the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC. This is an honor that has us very excited. We of course like to share our story, but we also are very eager about representing our church both locally, nationally, and internationally as well as representing the many people throughout the Fort Worth/Dallas Metroplex, and Texas.

Here are some details from Wikipedia on the National Prayer Breakfast

The National Prayer Breakfast is a yearly event held in Washington, D.C., on the first Thursday of February each year. The founder of this event was Abraham Vereide. The event—which is actually a series of meetings, luncheons, and dinners—has taken place since 1953 and has been held at least since the 1980s at the Washington Hilton on Connecticut Avenue NW.

The breakfast, held in the Hilton’s International Ballroom, is attended by some 3,500 guests, including international invitees from over 100 countries. The National Prayer Breakfast is hosted by members of the United States Congress and is organized on their behalf by The Fellowship Foundation, a conservative Christian organization more widely known as “The Family”. Initially called the Presidential Prayer Breakfast, the name was changed in 1970 to the National Prayer Breakfast.

It is designed to be a forum for the political, social, and business elite to assemble and build relationships. Since the inception of the National Prayer Breakfast, several U.S. states and cities and other countries have established their own annual prayer breakfast events.

Every U.S. president since Dwight D. Eisenhower has participated in the annual event, including President Obama.

I will be posting more details here on the JakeRinard.com Blog, and tweeting information.
