“The breakfast both engaged and challenged me.”
Forgiveness: Living a Life of Courageous Love
We are excited for this years gathering. We’ve invited Erin Jones to inspire, encourage, and challenge us.
Living a life of courageous love requires a collective will to come together as listeners, learners, and servant-leaders. It is in such a space where we hope to discover fresh inspiration, resources, tools, and ideas to equip and empower each other to do the work of reconciliation in our respective spheres of access and influence.
Join us as we lay down our differences in order to ask the Living Triune God, in one voice, to bless our region and move us forward in our quest to be a “city of choice.”
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
John 13:34-35 (NIV)
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”
John 17:20-23 (NIV)

What is the Spokane Leadership Prayer Breakfast?
We gather together to seek God and to pray for leaders who serve our communities.
We intentionally lay down our differences in order to ask the Living God, in one collective voice, to bless our region.
In the Spirit of Jesus Christ, we will turn away from the actions and the attitude that either separate us from the Living God or divide our communities. We will actively pursue reconciliation.
