About Us
The Portland Good Friday Breakfast began in 2007 by Open Arms International. Open Arms Co-Founders, David and Rachel Gallagher recognized the need for an event in Portland to highlight the historical death and the resurrection of Christ Jesus, and the opportunity to reach out to the greater Portland community with an evangelical message of God’s love.
Portland Good Friday Breakfast is a gift to the Portland community from Open Arms international and our sponsors.
Since 2008, nearly 6,000 people have attended the Portland Good Friday Breakfast and heard inspirational messages from well-respected Christian speakers such as Captain Charlie Plumb and Nick Vujicic.
