Pocono Prayer Breakfast Celebrates 30 Years of Faith, Unity, and Community



Pocono Summit, PA – October 7, 2025 – The Pocono Prayer Breakfast is proud to celebrate its 30th Anniversary with a special gathering at the Kalahari Resort & Convention Center. This milestone event will be held on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, with doors opening at 6:15 a.m.

For nearly three decades, the Pocono Prayer Breakfast has brought together community and business leaders, families, and individuals from all walks of life to pray for our government, businesses, healthcare, education, faith communities, and families. What began as a vision by founder Jack Muehlhan has grown into a cherished tradition that welcomed more than 1,000 attendees in 2024 alone.

“We’re truly humbled to mark this milestone,” said Charlie Lynn Trapasso, Director of the Pocono Prayer Breakfast. “For the past 30 years, the Pocono Prayer Breakfast has united thousands in heartfelt prayer and shared hope for our community and our country.”

This year’s featured speaker is Mandy Harvey, a world-renowned singer, songwriter, and inspirational speaker who has touched millions with her powerful story of resilience and faith. Despite losing her hearing at the age of 19, Mandy pursued her passion for music, inspiring the world with her unforgettable performances and testimony of perseverance, including her celebrated journey on America’s Got Talent.

In addition to Mandy’s message and music, the program will include a military salute to veterans by the Stroudsburg High School band and a special performance by students from Faith Christian School.
