Kirk Cameron to Keynote the 32nd Annual Furniture Prayer Breakfast
HIGH POINT, NC
The Furniture Prayer Breakfast Board of Directors is proud to announce that the celebrated actor, author, and faith-based speaker Kirk Cameron will deliver the keynote message for the annual breakfast.
This highly anticipated event will take place on Saturday, April 26th at the Qubein Conference Center on the High Point University Campus.
Kirk Cameron is known by millions as “Mike Seaver” from the 1980’s hit sit-com, “Growing Pains.”
Since then, he has spearheaded a host of faith and family-focused films, television shows, and live events. He starred in the 2008 movie Fireproof, which won the Epiphany Prize for Most Inspiring Movie at the Movieguide Awards in 2009. It also won Best Feature Film at the 2009 San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival. His most recent film was "Lifemark". He has also produced the documentaries: "Monumental" and "The Home School Awakening". He hosts TBN's "Takeaways with Kirk Cameron" and "The American Campfire Revival". He has held hundreds of live events across the country focused on marriage, family, and parenting.
His message of hope, restoration, and spiritual growth has been a consistent source of inspiration as he encourages audiences everywhere to live purposed-filled lives rooted in faith. Kirk reinforced that message in his newest book titled “Born to Be Brave,” a book he describes as a guidebook for America's spiritual comeback.
He and his wife, Chelsea, met on the set of “Growing Pains," and have been married for 35 years. Together they have six children. The couple host an all-expenses-paid summer camp for terminally ill children and their families called Camp Firefly. https://www.campfirefly.com/.
“We are so excited to have Kirk join us for our annual breakfast,” said Lael Thompson, Vice President. “It will be an incredible message as he shares his transformative insights on life and how to make a personal commitment to being bold in our faith. We are anticipating hundreds of industry colleagues and friends to join together on what will be a very inspirational morning.”
The 32nd annual event kicks off at 6:20 a.m. with a full breakfast, live music, prayer, and Kirk’s keynote message. The program ends at 7:45 a.m.
