Real stories. Lasting impact.

  • "It is awesome every year to see men fellowship and share testimonies of how Great God Is. I have seen men’s lives changed because of Godly men never being ashamed of the gospel but willingly share their walk with others. The format is great, keep this ministry alive!"

    — Jef Fabian

  • "I believe the Men’s Prayer Breakfast is important because strong men of faith help build strong families, strong churches, and strong communities. When men become intentional about following Jesus and walking alongside other men, the impact reaches far beyond the breakfast itself."

    — Kevin McDonald

  • “Reflecting on the impact of the men’s prayer breakfast after all these years, what means the most isn’t how much the breakfast has grown, it’s knowing that God has used it to encourage men at moments when they needed encouragement. Sometimes one message, one conversation, or one new relationship can change the direction of a man’s life.”

    — Dick Andrews
