The Mayor's Prayer Breakfast

"God permits what he hates in order to accomplish what he loves."  --Joni


 


For nearly 40 years, Dr. Keith Phillips has organized and led the annual prayer breakfast for the Mayor of Los Angeles. This year, Joni Eareckson Tada was the guest speaker. This remarkable woman of God testified to the life of submission and surrender, as only Joni could tell it. "God permits what he hates in order to accomplish what he loves," she explained. She concluded her talk with a special invitation: "Join me in needing God desperately every day!"
