The Leadership Prayer Dinner is a special gathering of the faith community on the eve of the BC Leadership Prayer Breakfast. It is an occasion for people of faith and for those who support the Prayer Breakfast to come together in an intimate setting in order to share dinner and conversation.
This year we are honoured to have guest panelists Anu George Canjanathoppil CEO of International Justice Mission (IJM) and Casandra Diamond, Founder and Executive Director of Bridge North.
Together, we will explore how leaders play a pivotal role in making a meaningful impact.
We look forward to hosting you in-person on Thursday, May 9, 2024.
