A Movement of Prayer for the Entertainment Industry

Dear HPN,

It’s almost Halloween - a perfect time to pray for and/or visit your neighbors or welcome them into your home. It’s the only time of year where we can walk up to the front door of total strangers, introduce ourselves, and share the Love of God. Let’s pray for how we can take advantage of that in our own neighborhoods! Also, let’s pray for the people in Hollywood who love to hide their insecurities, anxieties, and fears behind Halloween costumes and lose themselves in the holiday! Let's be praying for masks to come DOWN, and for the vulnerability and transparency of Christians to warm hearts and build bridges to those who need the Lord...

We also want to let you know that HPN has grown so fast this year and had the amazing opportunity to MEET MORE NEEDS THAN EVER BEFORE in our 21 years of ministry! However, we are also the lowest we’ve been in decades financially. So, we are going to send out a special email next week letting you know what we’ve done, what we have planned for the future and how you can prayerfully consider joining our wonderful giving family to help us meet our goals. We believe this is a pivotal time in our ministry’s history, to take advantage of the unbelievable opportunities and needs, but, of course, we can’t do it without donations from like-minded friends and supporters. So, don’t miss the upcoming opportunities and ask God what your part can be in the ministry!

Let’s pray...

Praises

Testimony Time!

This is an email I recently got from an HPN member and friend who is a successful actress experiencing a few very slow years. These are some of the things that we praise God for in our industry and community. It truly is a miracle and shows Christians outside of Hollywood that God loves industry professionals and He is moving in Hollywood:

"Praise Report For me - I recently had a miraculous answer to prayer. On Sept. 11th , I told an actress friend that it would take a miracle for me to meet my eligibility for my SAG Health insurance by Sept 30th (my deadline). With the new SAG Health Plan rules for eligibility, everyone who has a SAG pension has to make the eligibility on SESSIONS ONLY (residuals don’t count towards eligibility). On Sep 11th I was several thousand dollars away from making it. The very next day, I booked a commercial - which turned out to be a 4-day shoot - 2 of the days were on the weekend which is double scale…..So this one job put me over the needed amount. I have NEVER had a 4-day shoot for a commercial before. PRAISE GOD - MIRACLE RECEIVED!"

Requests

Angela Lansbury

On October 11th, the iconic American actress, Angela Lansbury died peacefully, at the age of 96. Angela was known for her incredible skills in acting, singing, voice-overs and speaking and we know that her family and friends are missing her deeply. We honor her because she was a woman of integrity, grace, elegance, kindness and joy. Angela was great to work with and was faithful to her friends, along with offering the world hours and hours of great entertainment and joy. May more “celebrities” embrace these qualities as they live and work in the entertainment industry! And may Angela be an inspiration and a role-model to younger actresses who loved her and her work!

Vanessa Hudgens

Let’s pray for young actress/singer, Vanessa Hudgens, who is on a spiritual journey and searching for truth. Vanessa has publicly expressed her love for witchcraft/ the occult, and has. a documentary coming out regarding her journey into these practices. It’s too easy for celebrities to search for God in all the wrong places, and for Christians to curse them or turn away! So we want to pray that Vanessa finds godly, loving Christians who will encourage her to embrace truth, love, peace, joy and hope - that only comes from God!

Cartoon Network and the Future of Animation

Cartoon Network Studios and Warner Bros. are in flux.

Please pray for the leaders and animation employees at the Warner Bros/Discovery animation unit The Cartoon Network, as the studio plans to consolidate its TV animation divisions and restructure its production divisions. There is a great need in our country for solid, clean, strong children’s programming with stories and characters that can inspire children and give them role models. So, let’s pray that God steps into the plans of these industry leaders and the outcome can be beneficial for children and families looking for great kids entertainment.

Pray for the 20 Most Powerful Women in Global Entertainment

Here is a chance to pray through the names of 20 women who are not only having an impact on our industry through their positions and personalities, but who are making decisions that impact the world. This article is a truly fascinating look into a diverse pool of women who are shaping the narrative of entertainment as we know it. Please ask the Lord to hold these 20 women in the palm of His hand and guide them, fill them with wisdom, discernment, strength, integrity, joy and creativity, and that they will positively influence the world! And of course, we want those who don't know God to come to Him and be bold in their faith!

Actor's Co-op, A Community for Actors

We would love for you to pray for a fabulous Acting Company in Hollywood - The Actor’s Co-Op. It has been a sister ministry for decades, and in fact, it was the first entertainment ministry in our industry when it launched in 1982. They went through a hard time during Covid and we want to see them flourish again. So, would you pray for them to get the finances, resources and audience that they need to become vital and active again as the most award-winning acting company in Los Angeles. If you like theatre, or if you would like to audition to join the company, would you check them out?

Lindsay Lohan’s Return to the Movies

Let's pray for the movie comeback of Lindsay as she stars in a new Netflix Christmas movie, Falling For Christmas, this time with her younger sister Aliana Lohan. Let’s pray for Lindsay to have professional and spiritual wisdom and balance as she gets back into the public eye, after years of rehab and recovery from the damaging life that being a young celebrity often produces. This talented actress needs our support, love and prayers - not our judgment or criticism. We believe that God is touching Lindsay's life! Let’s ask God to hold her up and give her supernatural strength and favor that only He can supply, as she navigates marriage and her career!

Maverick City Music

Let’s pray for the Christian band/ Gospel music group Maverick City Music, that is getting both praise and criticism for their success, their collaborations, and their relationships. It is so easy to judge Christians who become famous and work and walk with non-believers, and yet- shouldn't we be salt and light, (not in a "holy bubble" but in the world)? Maverick City Music needs our prayers for wisdom, discernment, favor and encouragement as they navigate the difficult waters of celebrity and faith. Let's also pray that they remain surrounded by grounded believers and mentors that don't want to benefit from their growing fame.

Thank you for praying for us this month! We love you and thank you for your life-giving prayers and financial support that we need as we uniquely and boldly support, encourage, serve and pray for the people in the Hollywood Entertainment industry!

With love,

Karen, Kelry and Myesha
