AME Bishop Vashti McKenzie will be the featured speaker at Ray of Hope’s Daughters of Destiny Women’s Prayer Breakfast on Aug. 11 at the Marriott Atlanta Airport Gateway.

Intercession: Touching Heaven … Changing Earth, taken from 2 Chronicles 7:14, begins at 9 a.m. and includes praise, worship, sisterhood and fellowship.

McKenzie, who is based in Nashville, Tenn., serves as the 117th bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the first elected and consecrated female bishop in the more than 200-year history of the church. She also is the first woman to become the titular head of the denomination as the president of the Council of Bishops, making her the highest-ranking woman in the predominantly black Methodist denominations.

She is the presiding prelate of the 13th Episcopal District, which includes the state of Tennessee and Commonwealth of Kentucky. Her husband, Stan, a former NBA player, serves as supervisor of missions for the 13th Episcopal District.

The cost for the prayer breakfast is $30 per person and space is limited.
