We are seeking God to free the hearts and minds of individuals by mobilizing global prayer for the world's most influential mission field: The Entertainment Industry. As a defined group of over 3,000 strong, the Christians working in this mission field are growing as a community and experiencing God's presence here more than ever before. For, "where sin abounds, so does grace abound all the more."
Since it's beginnings in July, 2001, we are joining together a growing list of churches, para-church organizations and individuals across America to commit to pray for all aspects of the entertainment industry, including film, television, music and the news media. The Hollywood Prayer Network sends out monthly prayer requests, updates, praises and news breaks to all of our prayer partners by email or mail. Working together, we will be a part of seeing God transform Hollywood. Won't you join us in praying for Hollywood? For more information see Hollywood Prayer Network above.

HOPE FOR POST 9-11 HOLLYWOOD
By KAREN COVELL
January 2002 was a miraculous month for Hollywood, as the author of the #1 best seller The Prayer of Jabez came to offer hope and direction to Hollywood in the aftermath of the September tragedies. Hundreds of entertainment professionals came to hear how to find blessings in their career and personal lives.
Bruce Wilkinson, whose little book has sold over 9 MILLION copies, spoke on Friday, January 25th at the Writers Guild of America Theatre in Beverly Hills. In attendance were nearly 500 media professionals; many of whom never heard before about our loving and personal God who wants to bless us. Over 200 stayed after just to hear more about God. Then on Saturday the 26th over 600 Christians came to hear Bruce speak on his 2nd best seller The Secrets of the Vine. That morning over 175 Christians recommitted their lives to live as missionaries in the entertainment industry. It was a week-end of spiritual breakthrough for everyone involved - including Bruce, who has since resigned from Walk Thru the Bible and is moving to Hollywood to reach the world through the media. God is moving in massive proportions in Hollywood.
CALLING FOR STORIES: DO YOU HAVE A MIRACULOUS MARRIAGE?
Victorya Rogers, Karen and Jim Covell, co-authors of The Day I Met God, are in the midst of writing their follow-up to the 2001 release.
