The 42nd Annual Hawaii Prayer Breakfast, held May 7, 2021 at the Hawaii Convention Center. Approximately 1200 in attendance, the largest post pandemic indoor crowd size to date. Had to use many COVID safety protocols and served as a model for other event organizers.

Historically the leadership of our Nation has turned to Almighty God for strength and guidance. In this spirit, the United States Senate and the House of Representatives Breakfast Groups, which meet to deepen friendships, to pray and counsel together, inaugurated the National Prayer Breakfast to specifically seek the Lord’s guidance and strength as well as to reaffirm our faith and to renew the dedication of our Nation and ourselves to God and His purposes.
