This year’s National Prayer Breakfast is themed “Rise and Rebuild,” drawing inspiration from Isaiah 60:1 in the Bible.

The National Prayer Breakfast, which is sponsored by the Kenyan Parliament and organized with the help of volunteers from the small prayer breakfast groups, is traditionally held on the last Thursday in May.

The First Kenya NPB took place in May 2003, shortly after the late former President Mwai Kibaki came into office.

The purpose of the NPB is to meet, engage, interact, and together pray for the nation in the company of fellow leaders from all sectors of society.
