About HPN

about HPN

 

HPN was created as a strategic prayer network for the Hollywood Entertainment Industry. Ultimately we want to see a revival in Hollywood and we believe it must begin with prayer. We also believe this will only happen by facilitating a global prayer ministry where Christians acknowledge Hollywood as the world’s most influential mission field and pray for the people in the Entertainment Industry.

We also are committed to have every Christian professional in Hollywood prayed for as a "tent-maker" by an intercessor outside of our workplace. If we are going to see change in people, one at a time, from the inside out, it must start with the love of Jesus and the prayers of His people. For with prayer for Hollywood comes cultural revival.

Hollywood Prayer Network's commitment is to reach three specific groups of people:

*Christians living outside of Hollywood who want to know how God is moving and working in Hollywood or who know He’s moving here and want to be a part of what He’s doing through prayer.

*Christian media professionals living and working in the industry who need prayer support from the Christian community and the church.

*Media professionals in Hollywood who don’t yet know the love and
life-saving gospel of Jesus Christ and may only find Him through prayer.

HPN’s Prayer Goals:

*Only prayer can unite individuals, churches and para-church organizations across the world to recognize Hollywood as a mission field. HPN mobilizes them to pray for the Hollywood entertainment industry instead of hating the people here or boycotting it’s programming.

*Only prayer can lead the Christian Entertainment community into a closer relationship with the Lord and into closer unity with one another.

*Only prayer can lead more non-Christians to commit their lives to Jesus.

*Only prayer can impact Hollywood and its product

"Hollywood is full of individual souls for whom Jesus died.  The Hollywood Prayer Network helps to bring that fact to the fore and encourages Christians not to curse the industry, but to pray for the people."  Heidi Swander

Why should we pray for someone in Hollywood who we have never met?

If one wants a biblical principle of praying for strangers, Paul didn’t know the Colossians when he prayed for them and wrote his letter. They were, in a sense, strangers to him.
There are also many practical reasons for praying for strangers in Hollywood.  It seems that there are too many battle lines drawn between Christians and Hollywood where there really shouldn’t be. At the risk of exemplifying the extreme, if Christians do not pray or intercede for Hollywood, what would one expect to come out of this place?
If you pray for someone, you can’t hate them! There is a bond which prayer itself brings – the person who prays with the person being prayed for. In praying for people whom you have only heard of through PR groups, newspapers or magazines, the Holy Spirit has a tendency to present these demi-god, A-list celebrities, directors, entertainers, as human. There’s a danger we Christians can fall into of “de-spiritualizing” people who need our intercession because the world may already deem them successful.
There’s little question that Hollywood needs to change and we know that only God can bring about that change. And that’s what HPN is all about. What better way for transformation to occur than to have that alteration come at the personal level of those “strangers” already working in Hollywood? Won’t you intercede for them, to God, on their behalf?
Celebrities aren’t the only ones who need your help. The Christian “strangers” in Hollywood covet your prayers as well. I covet your prayers. As a representative of a stranger in Hollywood who you don’t know, you can certainly start praying for me. HPN also has a prayer partner program. They team you, the intercessor, with a Christian professional in Hollywood. Click HERE to try it. It will change your prayer life.  Chuck Hayes, Writer
