(Yerevan, Armenia) The Republic of Armenia Prayer Breakfast (RAPB) will convene in Yerevan on October 2–3, 2026, bringing together leaders from Armenia and abroad across government, diplomacy, business, civil society, media, and faith.
Following its inaugural gathering last year, RAPB 2026 will deepen dialogue at the intersection of faith and public life, with a focus on principled leadership, international cooperation, and Armenia’s role in a changing region.
Participants are expected from Armenia, Europe, the United States, the Middle East, Africa, South America, and Asia. As international participation grows, the gathering is emerging as Armenia’s leading international religious freedom event.
“The first Prayer Breakfast demonstrated the importance of bringing people together in unity through faith, prayer, and relationship,” said Stepan Sargsyan, Chair of the Organizing Committee. “In 2026, we want to build on that foundation, deepening the relationships that can serve Armenia as we come together in prayer at a consequential moment in its history.”
The two-day program will include expert panel discussions on regional and global issues, thematic forums on faith in the public square, and ample networking opportunities. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan will give the keynote address at the Prayer Breakfast which will be followed by reflection and prayer from political and faith leaders alike.
Drawing on Armenia’s historic Christian heritage, the event creates space for engagement across political, national, and denominational lines, bringing together representatives of the Armenian Apostolic Church and other Christian denominations in Armenia, alongside participants from diverse faith traditions and backgrounds, to commune and seek solutions together as people of faith.
The Republic of Armenia Prayer Breakfast is an independent, civil society–led initiative based in Armenia. It convenes Armenian and international leaders for prayer, relationship-building, and reflection on faith, leadership, religious freedom, peace, and the future of Armenia.
