In today's high-tech world, information can be distributed inexpensively, with the capacity to reach millions of people within seconds. Consequently, society is continually saturated with messages and agendas vying for their attention. Much of the information disseminated becomes white noise, as marketing data reflects that most people spend only seconds scanning through the various platforms of digital data they review each day. However, one platform continually keeps the attention of its viewers -- movies. Movies have the highest potential for holding the attention of their audiences for the greatest length of time, and can also be very effective in their ability to emotionally connect to the viewer.
As Christians, we are well aware that Hollywood tends to be exceedingly liberal. However, when a movie is released that accurately portrays the Gospel, such as The Passion of the Christ, it can have a huge impact on millions of lives, bringing many to Christ. One organization that is effectively working to impact Hollywood for Christ is the Hollywood Prayer Network ("HPN"). HPN is a movement of prayer for the artists, professionals, projects, productions, and global impact of Hollywood.
The Barnabas Group ("TBG") is honored to come alongside HPN, and has invited them to present at several of our meetings. The Founding Director of HPN, Karen Covell, sent us the following update of how God is using TBG to impact Hollywood for Christ:
"HPN was invited to have a table to present our ministry to the attendees in Orange County in late 2015. I chose a table that happened to be next to another presenting ministry,
Alpha. Alpha's representative, Sam, is a friend of mine who I hadn't seen for quite a few years. We reconnected, and I mentioned that an Alpha group was now on the Disney Studio lot! He knew that it had started, and as we talked, I suggested that we meet again and try to start Alpha groups on other Hollywood Studio lots. Thanks to our reconnecting at the TBG meeting, we now have an active Alpha group on the Warner Bros. lot, and we are talking to people on two other studio lots who are also hoping to start an Alpha group! I am so grateful to TBG for giving us that connection, which has led to a significant spiritual impact on the people in the Hollywood Entertainment Industry. Thank you!"
