Ozark Mountain Prayer Breakfast set for May

For many Branson residents the Ozark Mountain Prayer Breakfast is one of the most beloved events of the year.

This year's Ozark Mountain Prayer Breakfast is set for Thursday, May 1, at the Branson Convention Center, 400 South Sycamore, in downtown Branson.

The annual Prayer Breakfast is a celebration of the National Day of Prayer, where attendees enjoy fellowship and worship, and the presentation of the Don and Dorothy Gabriel Kingdom Builder Award. This year's event features an inspiring message from keynote speaker Amanda Hoenes.

Hoenes, a graduate of Branson High School and a United States Marine, will talk of her adventures around the world, the enormous challenges she has faced, and how those challenges have led to growth -- both personally and professionally, a deeper faith and learning to lean on others and never give up.

The 24th Annual Ozark Mountain Prayer Breakfast, presented by Ozark Mountain Legacy, will begin at 6 a.m. on May 1. The program will conclude by 8:30 a.m. For tickets, visit ozarkmountainlegacy.org
