Hollywood Prayer Network
The Hollywood Prayer Network (HPN) is a nonprofit organization founded in 2001 that mobilizes prayer, builds community, and supports Christians working in the entertainment industry. HPN aims to bridge the gap between the church and Hollywood, fostering love and transformation by praying for industry professionals, creative projects, and cultural influence.
Key Aspects of the Hollywood Prayer Network:
Mission and Vision: HPN views Hollywood as a vital mission field, aiming to transform its spiritual climate by bringing God’s love and truth to the media and arts. They encourage Christians to engage with culture, rather than fear or criticize it.
Prayer Mobilization: HPN organizes global prayer efforts, including distributing a bi-weekly "Prayer Call Sheet" that guides supporters on specific needs, industry issues, and projects to pray for.
Community & Support: The organization creates local chapters (virtual and in-person) where professionals in the industry can connect, find community, and receive spiritual support.
Professional Discipleship Program (PDP): This program serves as a mentorship pathway for Christians in the industry, combining an eight-week intensive with a six-month mentorship to help them thrive in their careers while staying true to their faith.
Events: HPN hosts various events, including a national prayer event for Hollywood, which includes worship, fellowship, and, as discussed on HPN's Facebook page, opportunities for creatives to meet.
