Focus on Hollywood’s Mission Field | 305 | Report 6

The Hollywood Prayer Network (HPN) is a Christian prayer ministry for the purpose of praying for the people, the projects and the powerful influence of the entertainment industry based at Hollywood.
“The challenge for the church in Hollywood is not so much in making Christian movies, but reaching more people for Christ within the industry,” HPN Director Karen Covell says. “The content of films and the work of the creative community will change when their hearts change,” she said. Given its culture-shaping influence, the strategic
importance of praying for Hollywood, and particularly for Christians working in the entertainment industry, cannot be overestimated.
