Weekly Prayer Focus
To Pray for this Week
When you think about the Hollywood professional whose salvation you are praying for, think about this: When Jesus hung on the cross, He did it for this person. Somehow, as only God can do, He had each of us in mind at Calvary. Though some in our churches today get frustrated with Hollywood (and rightly so) at some of the detrimental things they make and feed to the public, in the final analysis, each one is a soul for whom Jesus died.
Our Target Redemption personality this week is . . .
Kevin Costner
Kevin Costner is an Academy Award and Golden Globe- winning actor. He's the youngest of three sons of a utilities executive (father) and a welfare worker. He was born in Compton, California. Costner became interested in acting while still in college, and upon the advice of Richard Burton, began to pursue an acting career pretty much right out of college. Since his debut film, " Sizzle Beach , U.S.A. " (shot in 1974, but not released until 1986), he has starred in and directed a wide variety of films, most notably, "Dances with Wolves," "Field of Dreams," and "The Postman."
From a spiritual perspective, Kevin has made the following statement, "I have always wanted to believe that there is something more to life than what we have here on earth. . . it would be nice to know that there is something more, a higher power waiting for us, wouldn't it?"
When asked if he believed in heaven, he replied, "I desperately want to! I mean, I really want to believe that a part of me will continue on after this life and that there's more to me and to this life than just what's here on Earth. Yes, I want to believe."
Please pray for Kevin, that the Father will draw him to His Son. Kevin has the "want to," and we know that God is not willing that any should perish. Pray, and look forward to hearing what God will do
