A Movement of Prayer for the Entertainment Industry | |
Dear HPN,
It’s November and we want to spend this month being THANKFUL! We are so thankful for the opportunity to pray for the people in Hollywood, we are thankful for being a part of God’s creative community and we are thankful for all of YOU!
We also want to thank everyone who has donated towards our $100,000 fundraising goal this past week! It means more to us than we can express to see our praying members reach out with financial gifts that allow us to not only meet our ministry needs, but to expand and reach all of the unmet needs in our community and industry. Hear Karen talk about some ways you can help HPN continue to give “Hope to the Future” of Hollywood and CHECK OUT OUR GIVING CAMPAIGN!
Now, let’s pray...

Selena Gomez - My Mind & Me Nov 4th
We are continuing to pray for Selena Gomez, whose documentary My Mind & Me comes out November 4th. Selena has been outspoken on the topic of mental health as she documents her own journey with mental and physical health and well-being. Will you cover her in prayer as My Mind & Me comes out this week?

Michael J. Fox - Attitude of Gratitude!
Michael J. Fox is an inspiration to both his fans and Parkinson’s victims across the globe because he is so open and honest about his journey from being a TV and film star to being a Parkinson’s activist! Michael is a role model for having an Attitude of Gratitude as he struggles with Parkinson’s disease, and we want to praise God for him! We also want to pray for him to embrace his Creator as he lives his life as a leader and influencer. Let’s pray for Michael to find the peace, joy, strength and love of our living God!

Danica McKellar Shares Her Faith!
Danica McKellar, the actress from The Wonder Years and The West Wing, talks about becoming a Christian because of her friendship with Candace Cameron Bure. We want to celebrate the believers in our industry who are bold and loving in sharing their faith with co-workers and associates, because their influence is so much bigger and more far reaching than just the person they’re talking to. Listen to Danica’s Instagram “Bits of Joy with Danica McKellar” post, and praise God for her and her friend Candace!

MContent: New "Watch2Earn" Platform
Pray for the new technology bursting into the world of entertainment. A new streaming platform called MContent describes itself as the world’s first so-called “Watch2Earn” platform. “They are gearing up to boost their output of original film, TV and short-form projects using their innovative Web3 content ecosystem, which embraces blockchain, tokens and the metaverse this month.” We can barely keep up with entertainment and currency these days, so let’s pray for the Lord to be in it, controlling it and guiding the leaders as they create, distribute and finance all of this new technology.
| | | |
YOUTUBE Revenues Dropping
As you pray for the leaders in Hollywood, an interesting fact to be aware of is that YouTube revenue from advertisers is dropping. It's been discovered that people with short attention spans are worth slightly less in advertising dollars than they were a year ago. As Christians, we need to understand the behind-the-scenes value and impact that YouTube viewers have, and pray for wisdom in choosing our own media viewing.

Matthew Perry - A New Look at Life
We want to pray for Friends star Matthew Perry, who has decided to share his personal story about drug and alcohol addiction, and recovery. In his new book “Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing” Matthew talks about how the stigma that’s attached to addiction doesn’t allow people to get the help they need to gain sobriety from the disease of alcohol, drugs and other addictions. We pray that the Lord continues to keep him sober and that Matthew can find Jesus as his source of strength, freedom and complete healing.

Rihanna - New Mom, New Music, and Superbowl Headliner
Let’s pray for Rihanna, the iconic singer who is a new mom, the 2023 Superbowl Headliner, and the performer who has just partnered with Marvel to sing the lead single, “Lift Me Up” in their new blockbuster sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Rihanna is a celebrity who needs our prayers for God’s direction, wisdom, discernment and sense of identity as she walks into the highest level of stardom, power and influence. We are asking the God who created her, to hold her in the palm of His hand and let her rest in Him and follow His loving, still small voice.

Two New Heads of DC Extended Universe
Let’s pray for filmmaker James Gunn and Producer Peter Saffron, who have been chosen to Lead Warner Bros. DC Studios. This move is to grow the Warner Bros. DC Comics superheroes brand as they compete with Marvel studios. As you read this article would you pray for the names listed of all the studio heads involved in the DC Extended Universe - even though you don’t know them - because they are impacting our world with the stories they tell and the characters they feature in their films. You can make an eternal difference with your prayers for these powerful leaders and decision-makers of this film franchise.

Thank you SO MUCH for praying, giving, loving and supporting all that God is doing in Hollywood and at HPN. Also, remember on November 8th to PRAY AND VOTE, and we’ll see you in two weeks!

HPN YouVersion Weekly Devotional: Your Mission Field!
Have you ever thought of yourself as a missionary? Have you ever defined the place where you live or work as your mission field? This week we’re going to focus on God’s plan for all of us to be missionaries in our own mission field. We don’t have to go overseas, and we don't try to change people. We can spread the gospel to the people around us, just by loving them!
