Renowned Nigerian gospel artist and pastor Nathaniel Bassey has been invited to minister at the U.S. Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast on January 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
The faith-based event, hosted by Reverend Merrie Turner, is a non-political gathering held ahead of the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance.
Taking place in the Waldorf Astoria Presidential Ballroom, the breakfast will feature notable speakers such as Dr. Alveda King and Pastor Mario Bramnick. Nathaniel Bassey, internationally recognized for his worship initiative, the Hallelujah Challenge, will play a pivotal role in inspiring spiritual reflection and renewal at the event.
In 2024, Bassey’s contributions to music and faith were honored by the Mayor of Albany, New York, who declared October 6 as “Pastor Nathaniel Bassey Day,” highlighting his global influence.
The inaugural prayer breakfast emphasizes the importance of spiritual guidance and intercession in shaping national leadership. Bassey’s participation reflects his significant role in fostering worship and uplifting communities worldwide.
