The YMCA of Gloucester County and Gloucester County Mayors’ Association
brings the community together for a common purpose of spiritual unity through
prayer every year. On December 5, 2013, that is exactly the purpose of 24
cities and over 300 business, religious, and political leaders that will gather
at Auletto’s at 7am hosted by the YMCA of Gloucester County.
Mayors’ Prayer Breakfast, started 22
years ago by the four founding fathers: Greg Jones, Mark Parker, Jim Watson and Warren Knobe as the Y’s Christian Emphasis Committee’s project and has become
the county’s most meaningful event to attend. For the past 21 years, notable
speakers have insipired and united leaders.
This year speaker, Kelly Wright, a local native of
Hagerstown Maryland; spent his childhood and early adolescence growing-up in
the notorious Congress Heights area of Washington DC. Birthed of this
experience, Kelly pens messages of hope, redemption and salvation. He is truly
a testimony of a praying mother and bears witness to the full armor of God.
Wright is internationally recognized as an anchor and reporter for the FOX News
Channel and formerly for the 700 Club. He has been singing professionally since
he was thirteen. He started his singing career in the Church. Kelly has been
the opening act or featured on many shows with top recording artists such as:
James Brown, Shirley Ceasar, Vicki Winans, Dottie Peoples, Mississippi Mass
Choir, Ron Kenoly, and more. Kelly has performed in Paris, France,Benin, West
Africa and Baghdad, Iraq.
