Christians at The Super Bowl
We want to celebrate how many Christians were a part of the Super Bowl this past Sunday! If you saw our post on Instagram, you know that we prayed for the Christians involved to have a MAJOR impact on those around them! Although there are many more, we want to recognize a few: multi-award winning artist/producer "Babyface", artist Chris Stapleton, Tony-Award winning actor Sheryl Lee Ralph, Oscar-Award winning actor Troy Kotsur, as well as Eagles Players T.J. Edwards, A.J. Brown, Jalen Hurts, and Chiefs Players (and Super Bowl Winners) Patrick Mahomes, Harrison Butker, and Nick Bolton! We praise God for all of these gifted children of His who are making an eternal difference.

Revival at Asbury University!
We are thrilled to let you know that a REVIVAL broke out at Asbury College last Wed. during their 10am Chapel and the chapel hasn’t been empty since then! Students have been showing up, not only from all over Asbury campus, but from 5 other Christian colleges and from cities in Kentucky and neighboring states, since that morning. People have rededicated their lives to the Lord, students are becoming Christians and there has been healing and continual worship, praise and prayer. It’s AMAZING and the film students and theatre students have been touched as well, from some HPN members at the school who are updating us! Let's be praising God for them and praying with them!

Nate Bargatze - Christian, Clean Comedian, Gets Amazon Special!
We praise God for a successful comedian Nate Bargatze, who has been dubbed the "nicest man in stand-up", as he stands firm in his commitment to keep his comedy clean! And Amazon Prime loves it. Let's praise God for Nate’s strength of character as you watch his Amazon show “Hello World.” And pray for Nate, so that he continues to keep his eyes on Jesus as he impacts the world with God’s love and truth through his comedy.

Joshua Bassett
We want to praise God for actor Joshua Bassett, known for his role in High School Musical, The Musical, The Series, who publicly gave his testimony before being baptized at Bethel Church. Joshua is a bold example of those in Hollywood with HUGE platforms, facing the possibility of persecution, but still proclaiming Jesus. We are praying for Joshua and we are so thankful that he is committed to his faith. Read more and watch the videos as you pray for him and praise God for his testimony!

7,000+ Laid Off at Disney
Bob Iger has planned to lay off 7,000+ employees from the Disney corporation this month. The layoffs have become controversial since Disney spent over $7 mil to run a Super Bowl ad for their 100th Anniversary of Mickey Mouse. Please pray for Bob, his leadership team and all the people who are losing jobs! We are asking the Lord to guide their steps into new and even greater employment.

"He Gets Us" Campaign at Super Bowl
Pray for the effectiveness of the amazing Billion dollar ad campaign about JESUS called “HE GETS US.” They had two commercials during the Super Bowl that were powerful and excellent! The campaign is very well done and offers TV commercials and billboards that simply makes Jesus more relatable, more compassionate, caring and accessible. Read this article and keep your eyes open to see how God is using the media to directly present His message of love to all of us:

Celebs That We Are Praying For Will Return to Jesus!
Let’s pray for the celebrities in the entertainment industry who grew up in the Christian faith but walked away from God at some point. We know that God is faithful, and we want them to experience the joy, peace, patience, and other fruits of the spirit while they are on earth. This verse is our prayer for them and many others who have not held on to their faith: “Deep in my heart I have faith that the Lord Jesus who lives in you, will bring you back around to the truth.” Galatians 5:10

An HPN Member's Escape from Witchcraft
Witchcraft is prevalent in our industry and we ask that you join us in praying for freedom for the entertainment professionals who have been told a lie that any form of witchcraft can help them or empower them. As you pray, you may want to listen to the amazing story of HPN member and LA writer, Sarah Sumpolec, who was taught by her dad to become a witch as a teenager. This compelling testimony shows how we can slip into evil without knowing it - sometimes until it’s too late - unless we find Jesus!

Thanks so much for praying with us and for us. We are so grateful for you and hope to hear from you and your passion for prayer and entertainment. Have a wonderful February and we’ll be back in two weeks!~
With love,
Karen, Kelry and Myesha

“All Jesus did that day was tell stories—a long storytelling afternoon. His storytelling fulfilled the prophecy: I will open my mouth and tell stories; I will bring out into the open things hidden since the world's first day.”
