 The Governor's Prayer Breakfast is a statewide observance held annually near the opening days of the Louisiana Legislature. Its purpose is to seek God's guidance for all leaders and citizens of our State, and to strengthen ourselves for the journey as we try to live as a responsible community of faith. It is an interdenominational event centered on the person of Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world and is intended to promote His glory. People of all faiths are welcome to attend. The first Louisiana Governor's Prayer Breakfast was held forty-one years ago in Baton Rouge on May 10, 1965 at the Jack Tar Capitol House. This event is an outgrowth of the INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP movement which spawned the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., and similar events held annually in thousands of U.S. cities and at least fifty other countries. |
