The annual National Day of Prayer will be held this year on May 5. The 2016 National Day of Prayer theme is: “Wake Up America,” which is based on the Isiah 58:1, “Shout It Aloud, Do Not Hold Back, Raise Your Voice Like A Trumpet.”

Spokane’s Leadership Northwest will hold its 54^th Annual Leadership Prayer Breakfast celebrating National Day of Prayer at the Double Tree Hotel City Center at 7 a.m.

The keynote speaker will be Efram Smith, president and CEO of World Impact, an inner-city missions organization located in Northern California. Praise and Worship music will be provided by Cami Bradley, a finalist of America’s Got Talent. MC for this year is Kalae Chock, anchor of the Wake Up TV Show. Tickets are still available at Leadership Northwest.com.

A second event that same day is “UNITE SPOKANE” to be held at Life Center Church at 6:30 p.m.
