Rochester Area Prayer Breakfast to feature retired Captain Brian Udell - The Supersonic Survivor 

The Rochester Area Prayer Breakfast is an annual, non-denominational event held in recognition of the National Day of Prayer, instituted in 1952 by a joint resolution of Congress and then President Harry S. Truman.
​
The 2025 featured speaker is Supersonic Survivor -- Captain Brian Udell. Udell is one of the only pilots in history to survive ejecting from an F-15E fighter aircraft at more than 800 mph. With numerous broken bones, dislocated limbs, and  open wounds. He miraculously survived four grueling hours, in freezing water, while awaiting rescue. Luckily, his crew was able to pin point the fallen craft. A Coast Guard rescue, multiple surgeries, and intensive physical therapy ensued. By his 32nd birthday, nearly two months after the accident, he took his first step toward recovery.

Candidly, Udell credits a conversation with God for his rescue and ultimate revival. To make a reservation or learn more about sponsorship opportunities, please visit the Prayer Breakfast website – www.rochesterareaprayerbreakfast.com.
