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:

Updates

READ MORE

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! 

Praises

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!

Karen and Jim Covell


We praise God first and foremost for Karen and her husband Jim Covell! Besides being the founding director of HPN, Karen (and Jim) have been fostering relationships and serving the creative community in LA for decades, and we love them! Let's praise God for them!

Kelry and Tim Kirschenmann


We are so thankful for Kelry (the awesome Program Director of HPN) and her husband Tim. Tim serves many HPN events as a worship leader, has been serving faithfully as the LCD Coordinator, and is now launching the NEW HPN Worship Leader's community group - GLORY HOUSE!

Myesha Reynolds


We cannot thank God enough for our Admin, volunteer coordinator, and the prayer partnership coordinator for over a year, Myesha Reynolds! Myesha launched AND runs her own business, Equity Lens Consultants, and is a HUGE blessing to us at HPN!

Corrie Pickering and Anastasia Burnett


Join us in thanking God for Corrie Pickering (a designer) and Anastasia Burnett (a producer), the visionary founders of our quarterly worship gatherings, Imago Dei! They both serve in excellence, and we are overjoyed that they have a heart to see people throughout the community worship and fellowship together!

Jen Lewis


We are so blessed to have Jen Lewis head up our group of Christian comedians, humorous, and comedy writers - Upside Down Comedy! Jen faithfully loves on and supports the comedians in their weekly gatherings, and we are so thrilled that the Lord has brought her to HPN!

Jim Covell, Alexander Hitchens, Merritt Huff Friesen, Flo Oramasianwu, and Andres Sotomarin


We love Measure for Measure, our first vocational community group, and a quarterly gathering that explores faith in the music business! We praise God for our wonderful and growing team of leaders that want to mentor and support our vast community of musicians, composers, producers, singers, and songwriters.

Melody Gregorio


Join us and thanking God for Melody Gregorio, who has served for years as the coordinator and prayer leader for our Praying Parents Team! Melody is a major supportive role in our ministry and we are so thankful for her!

Christopher Covell, Phillip Abraham


Christopher Covell and Phillip Abraham have been hosting dinner parties for Christians in filmmaking for the past 6 months, and we are overjoyed and thankful to have them continue to lead HomeBase Community for filmmakers! We praise God for them!

Sarah Sumpolec


We praise God for Sarah Sumpolec, an amazing mom, teacher, creative, writer, and the creator of our beautiful HPN monthly Kids & Teens Prayer Calendars! We bless Sarah and her husband Jeff, a wonderful Christian Counselor, and their children.

Anthony and Kaylah Cantu


We love and appreciate Anthony and Kayla Cantu, who are bible study leaders at TinselTown Bible Study, they are the founders of Writers Spotlight, are brilliant screenwriters, and head up the monthly gathering of Christian writers, KWA!

Joey Geisel


Join us in praising God for Joey Geisel, an HPN Local Chapter Director from Arlington Texas, who also heads up a weekly prayer zoom called The Chosen Prayer Team! We are so thankful for him and his family and his faithful service in prayer and his heart for The Chosen TV series!

Nicole Baer


We are so thankful for our good friend and editor Nicole Baer, who is excited to serve as the community leader for our group of Christian Editors called Montage! They had their first zoom call in December and will meet in person this month!

Laura Bevilacqua


We praise God for Laura Bevilacqua, a faithful member of HPN, a worshiper, and a dancer who is excited to help launch the yet-unnamed dance and movement community group, coming to HPN this spring!

Philip and Zipporah Madison & Todd and Ofelia Habelt


We are so thankful for Zipporah and Philip Madison, who are our head HPN Prayer Leaders. We also thank God for Todd and Ofelia Habelt, who also serve faithfully in prayer for HPN and all of you! They not only pray for us as leaders, but they meet with and pray for many HPN members in our industry. They (along with our other faithful prayer team members) are truly the heartbeat of our ministry, as EVERYTHING we do begins with PRAYER!

Tamara Sanchez


Tamara has been our social media manager for over a year with her social media company, Redeemed Social. We praise God for Tamara and the time that she puts into managing our social media, and keeping all of you informed of prayer needs and upcoming events! Tamara and her husband Alex are expecting their first baby soon and we are praying for them!

THE AWARDS CALENDAR

Awards Season 2023


It’s AWARDS SEASON! Let’s pray for all of the people, the projects and the voters who impact thousands of careers in our industry. Here is an article listing all of the awards dates and we ask that you pray for all of these industry leaders to be moved by the Holy Spirit to find a hunger for Him during this stressful time. As you pray, use this article to guide you.

We thank you so much for starting out the new year with us in prayer. Thank you for praying for our HPN leaders. As you pray, get ready for a year full of powerful prayers, miraculous breakthroughs and beautiful relationships. The Lord is moving in Hollywood and we are excited to be a part of it in 2023!


With love,

Karen, Kelry and Myesha

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.
