A Movement of Prayer for the Entertainment Industry

Dear HPN members from around the world,

HAPPY SUMMER! We’re excited that we are growing as an international ministry and much of that growth is because of all of your prayers! HPN now has 156 HPN Local Chapters in 40 different countries. We invite you to reach out to any of our Chapter Directors, say hello, and pray with them. Or, if you can’t find a Local Chapter then just start your own! It’s very easy with no obligations, so let us know if you’re interested! We want to have chapters in every US State and in every country worldwide in order to get millions of people praying for Hollywood! Check out our chapters at the link below!

Praises

Influence Lab

Praise God for Influence Lab's great article on “Christian” Art, and the role of Christians in Art to challenge, influence, inspire, and provoke. Be inspired by this as you pray for our influential creative community!

READ THE ARTICLE

Billy Vera and Judy Clay

We praise God for visionaries and pioneers in our culture! The first bi-racial love song was performed in the 1960s by Billy Vera and Judy Clay. These two American singers were ahead of their time because Artists are prophets! Please pray for today's artists and entertainers to be powerful prophets as they change our culture through their gifts, talents and messages. Read about Billy Vera and Judy Clay as you pray for God's heart for unity!

Doug Jones

HPN celebrates the life and work of our members who are making an eternal impact through their art and lives. Actor Doug Jones was honored earlier this year with The Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Inaugural Chair Award. In 35 years of work, Doug is known for being a loving, joyful, hard-working, excellent man of integrity. And everyone who works for him agrees that it’s an honor and a joy to be in a film with him. Let's pray for ALL of the Christians in Hollywood to have the same reputation amongst our peers! May we stand out as salt, light, joy, hope and love in Hollywood and around the world!!

Requests

The Emmy Nominations

Let’s pray for the people who have just been nominated for this year’s Emmy Awards, airing on Sept. 12th. These are the best actors, directors, writers and behind the scenes talent creating all of our television shows, streaming series, limited series, Talk Shows, Reality Shows, Movies and TV Specials. And, they all have a global impact with both their work and lives. So, pray for these nominees, and all of the people not nominated, asking the Lord to transform their lives. Read the Emmy Nominations full list as you pray:

Hayden Panettiere

Nashville star, Hayden Panettiere, bravely confesses her long time battle with addictions that nearly cost her career and her life! She is another celebrity who is willing to help others by telling her story. “Be careful, man wasn’t meant to get the glory. Only God was meant to get the glory!” said Donna Summer’s grandmother to Donna when she was gaining stardom. Addictions are a serious problem in our industry, often because of the unusual strain put on people in the limelight. Please pray for Hayden and other industry pros who struggle with debilitating addictions and mental health.

Val Kilmer

We often assume that celebrities “have it all!” But Val Kilmer’s battle with cancer helps us keep the perspective that even celebrities have weaknesses, set-backs and hardship in their lives. Val talks about his cancer and mentions that he turned to Christian Science, as his kids tried to get him connected with medical experts. Let’s pray for Val to surrender his health, his heart and his soul to the Lord. May he find total healing, freedom and hope in the days to come. We also encourage you to check out the TRAILER to his awe-inspiring documentary “Val”.

READ AS YOU PRAY

Let’s Share Our Faith!

As we keep reminding you, there are thousands of Christians in the industry! However, one of the biggest challenges for believers here is to feel safe in work environments to speak about their faith. This week let’s pray for Christians in Hollywood to be more confident in sharing their faith with their friends, neighbors and co-workers - without fear! We want our community to make an eternal difference in our industry and in our world. As you pray, read how influential Christians in entertainment, including Mark Wahlberg, speak out about their experiences as Christians in Hollywood:

TV’s Most Popular TV Shows: WWE SmackDown! as #1

Let’s pray for Christian audiences and what we all choose to watch on TV! In a shocking update, “WWE: SmackDown!” (on Fox TV) was the top Friday night primetime show last week, followed by “Shark Tank” and “20/20” (on ABC). They say that you are what you consume, so this is America's appetite for entertainment! Please pray that we would ALL grow in discernment in choosing what we watch and how the Lord wants us to spend our time! And read this insightful article on the most watched TV shows:

Thanks so much for praying with us this week. We are honored to have you walk along side us and we thank you that every prayer you lift up is impacting someone’s life. That’s AWESOME!!!!

Love to you all,

Karen and Kelry

Scripture

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes."

-- Romans 1:8

Quote

“We dare not invest so much in the kingdom of this world that we neglect our main task of introducing people to a different kind of kingdom, one based solely on God's grace and forgiveness. Passing laws to enforce morality serves a necessary function, to dam up evil, but it never solves human problems.”

― Philip Yancey

HPN YouVersion Weekly Devotional: Trust

This is a joyful week, full of promises, rewards, and hope. We’ll learn that when we can truly trust the Lord, and not lean on our own understanding, He has gifts that He gives to us in return. It is so important to the Lord when we let go and trust Him, looking to Him, not to others, for our strength and direction. Then He can shower us with blessings!

- Karen Covell
