Comments from the March 23, 2012 Silicon Valley Prayer Breakfast featuring Dr. Condoleezza Rice with San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed and Betty Ann Boeving, Executive Director of the Bay Area Anti Trafficking Coalition:

What Dr. Rice had to say this morning really challenged me. I have not been attending church and now realize what has been missing in my life.

Dr Rice was fantastic and gave great insights to her faith that helped support her. Two impactful lines were "the privilege to suffer" and "we treated every day as Sept 12".

The prayer breakfast was just what I needed at this point in my life.

Condi kept our table speechless for the whole presentation.

We had an amazing discussion at my table about what it means to have faith and the issue of faith and reason. It was a lively discussion that addressed such issues as "doubt".

Although I do not agree with Rice's politics, I was inspired by her talk and amazed by her life. She and the other speakers caused me to think more about issues of faith.

Fabulous morning. What a privilege to hear Dr. Rice.

Great presentation of leadership and faith. This needs to spread throughout Silicon Valley.

Well done. Thank you for the strong presentation of the power of faith and prayer in the context of conflict, perseverance, character and hope.

Boy was HE ever present yesterday morning!!!!!!! The couple at our table was deeply touched and asked a lot of questions during the discussion time.

Very well done. Great speakers. Look forward to the next ones.

What a blessed event. Condi certainly kept everyone's attention. And I really thought it was a great intro to the event to have Betty Ann tell us about the needed program to deal with human trafficking. We need to know more about that.
