2021 Prayer Breakfast

The only way to heal the community is “to see people as Christ sees them,” Tallahassee’s police chief said at the 19th annual Prayer Breakfast for nonprofit Good News Outreach on October 24, 2020.  “I’m not concerned about being politically correct. I’m concerned about being biblically correct,” said Chief Lawrence Revell, a seminary graduate and founding director of the city’s police chaplain program.  His remarks followed months of gun violence and racial unrest locally.

​

Revell was keynote speaker at the breakfast, which aims to thank God and the community for support of its ministries during the past year.

The 2021 Prayer Breakfast is scheduled for October 09, 2021 8:00 AM-12:00 PM, at St. Louis Catholic Church.  Details and invitations will be announced closer to the event date.
