The History
The National Prayer Breakfast first took place in 1953. It is held annually on the first Thursday of each February in Washington D.C. The prayer Breakfast is hosted annually by members of the United States Congress. Since the inception of the National Prayer Breakfast, several states, cities and other countries have established their own annual prayer breakfast events. The main event of the National Prayer Breakfast typically has two guest speakers; the President of the United States and a guest whose identity is kept confidential until that morning. Every President since Dwight D. Eisenhower has participated in the Breakfast. Notable speakers include 1994, Mother Teresa; 2006, Bono; and 2009, Tony Blair.
The Permian Basin Prayer Breakfast was founded in 2009 by the Honorable Judge Robert. A. Junell. We try to hold the Breakfast on the first Thursday of February to coincide with the Breakfast in Washington D.C. The organizational committee is made up of men and women from the Permian Basin area who are laymen and interdenominational religious leaders.
