Hundreds Attend Tyler Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast

TYLER — Hundreds turned out Thursday at Harvey Convention Center for Tyler’s 27th annual Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast, marking the National Day of Prayer. Addressing representatives of various faiths, Mayor Martin Heines remarked that city government’s “model is based on your help and your commitment to the community. We do infrastructure,” said the mayor; “you change hearts.” Heines added, “All of us, in our own way, express our faith openly — and it has a profound impact on this community.” On another note, attendees were notified of a return visit from internationally known evangelist Luis Palau on October 5 and 6, 2019. Palau last came to Tyler in 1995. After breakfast, all were invited to Come and Go Prayer on the downtown square from 9 a.m. till 5 p.m.
