A Movement of Prayer for the Entertainment Industry | |
Dear HPN Family,
HAPPY NEW YEAR HPN!!!! We are ready to roll into a BEAUTIFUL NEW YEAR! And we are so glad to be journeying through another year with you! We had a great end-of-the-year and much of it was because of you!!! We had more December donations than ever before, we had a growth in prayer partners, call sheet readers and our in-person groups went through the roof last year. So, we’re excited to jump into 2023 with vigor! So, let’s start by PRAYING:
| |
|
Technology
We want to start out the new year giving you an update on our industry’s state of TECHNOLOGY, so that you know, as Christians, as viewers, and and as pray-ers, where our industry is headed. As you read this article, could you pray for wisdom for the decision-makers, so that they do what’s best for our culture, and not make any decisions out of naivety or greed!
| | | |
Meet (and Pray For) Your HPN Team!
We want to kick off the year by praising God and praying for our HPN community of leaders, the new groups that are starting, and the spiritual and relational growth of professionals who are leaders!

HPN YouVersion Weekly Devotional: Community!
What kind of community do you live in? Do you have strong Christians around you? Are you building up the body of Christ and reaching out to those who don’t know Him? We’re going to focus on the importance of community and one of the reminders is that UNITY is the word that completes COMMUNITY.
