As a result, the organization has put on community-wide “outreach” events primarily focused on reaching men and women in leadership positions (business, education, political, military, judicial, etc.) in the community. These events have included an annual Leadership Prayer Breakfast, Law Enforcement Appreciation Dinners, and outreach luncheons. In 1997, the Kitsap Outreach Committee invited a group from Clallam County to join them in sharing the speaker for the Prayer Breakfast, and to establish the Clallam County Leadership Breakfast as an annual event. Those breakfasts continued until 2018. This year marks the 39th Annual Kitsap Leadership Prayer Breakfast.

Historically, the leadership of our nation has turned to Almighty God for strength and guidance. In this spirit, Kitsap Outreach inaugurated the Kitsap & Clallam County Leadership Prayer Breakfasts to specifically seek the Lord’s guidance and strength as well as to reaffirm our faith and to renew the dedication of our community and ourselves to God and His purposes.

These events, which are organized privately by members of the community, seek to encourage men and women throughout the Olympic Peninsula to recognize their privileges and responsibilities before God.

With the desire to deepen the spiritual life and moral fiber of the people through a leadership led by God, there have been, in all fifty states, similar breakfasts inaugurated by governors, mayors, and other responsible persons.

As a natural outgrowth of such gatherings, many people throughout the world are finding through the teachings, example, and spirit of Jesus of Nazareth ways to build relationships, which can strengthen the family of nations and further the cause of peace and justice.
