FORT MYERS, Fla. - Floridant -- The Southwest Florida Community Prayer Breakfast will host its annual National Day of Prayer event at 6 a.m. on Thursday, May 1, 2025, at Hammond Stadium at the Lee Health Sports Complex in Fort Myers, featuring two-time People's Choice Awards winner Kirk Cameron as the keynote speaker.

Cameron is known by millions as "Mike Seaver" from the 1980s sit-com "Growing Pains." Since then, Cameron has invested his time and energy into faith and family-focused films, television shows and live events, including "Left Behind," "Monumental," "The Way of the Master," and "Fireproof," which inspired the best-selling book "The Love Dare." In 2022, Cameron produced "Lifemark," a film about the value of life and the beauty of adoption. Currently, Cameron hosts the weekly talk show "Takeaways with Kirk Cameron," and the "American Campfire Revival" podcast.

He has hosted hundreds of live events focused on marriage, family and parenting, and he recently authored "As You Grow," a children's book that teaches Biblical principles and character. Cameron and his wife, Chelsea Cameron, host an all-expenses-paid summer camp for terminally ill children and their families called Camp Firefly.
