Long Beach Leadership Prayer Breakfast

“Surprised by Hope”

Join us for an inspiring morning of renewal and connection as we celebrate God’s powerful work in our beloved city!

Long Beach Rescue Mission is honored to host this special event as we gather with our community for a time to pause, refresh, and be encouraged through prayers, music, and uplifting messages.

This year, we are grateful to have Father Greg Boyle, Founder of Homeboy Industries, as our Keynote Speaker, who will share his journey of how God prompted him to lead such an impactful ministry. His work involves helping high-risk, formerly gang-involved men and women, offering the opportunity for a new life through a continuum of transforming programs.

Another highlight of the event is recognizing and honoring leaders in our community for their service and dedication: Carl and Robin LaBarbera, Community Leadership Award; Jon Mesko, Community Impact Award; and Oscar Mejia, Executive Director of Welcome Home Oasis, Emerging Leadership Award.

There is strength in community, and we look forward to having you with us on September 19th!
