A Springfield business owner has been named the featured speaker at the Missouri Governor’s Prayer Breakfast in January.
Gov. Nixon announced Monday that Hal Donaldson, the co-founder and CEO of Convoy of Hope Inc. will address state leaders and citizens as part of the annual inter-faith observance held at the beginning of the state legislative session.
Since 1994, Convoy of Hope has responded to hundreds of disasters in the United States and around the world– including the 2011 tornado in Joplin – and more than $400 million worth of food and supplies has been distributed to over 63 million people. The organization has most recently worked to help the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the central Philippines.
Tickets for the Governor’s Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, Jan. 9 are $30 per seat or $300 per table, and may be purchased online at www.missourigpb.com. Questions about the breakfast or about ordering by mail may be sent to breakfast@missourigpb.com; the event also has a Facebook page.
