Praying for the Most Influential Zip Code and People

Well Gang,

I want to introduce you to the Hollywood Prayer Network, for which I am the New York City Chapter Director. Read below for more information.

The Hollywood Prayer Network is a non-denominational Christian prayer ministry aimed at encouraging Christians across the world to pray for both the Christian and non-Christian professionals in Hollywood so that we can change Hollywood and the product it produces through prayer. Created by California TV producer Karen Covell, it links intercessors with Christian professionals to pray one-on-one and it gives out monthly emails to prayer warriors to pray for the entertainment industry and the people working here. They reach out to CHRISTIANS BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE HOLLYWOOD through prayer.

More than anything else, Karen desires to see that the overtly influential entertainment industry and media in Hollywood remain influential but positive and family friendly. She was lead to start this ministry with the sole purpose of praying for the people, their projects and the powerful influence of the Entertainment Industry.

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

1. 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.

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

3. 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.

Our 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.

Our specific goal, for the New York Chapteris to create a generalized outreach plan that outlines the importance of believers being a powerful and influential force in praying to God that the executives’ hearts are softened to the materials that they write and except, that the press is moved to tell the story as it happened and not spring for the sensationalized substitute and pray that the talent is moved to make better moral, ethical and spiritual choices in the roles they choose.

We will imitate several of the significant practices originated by the California Chapter. For instance, we will host prayer vigils, prayer walks, seek prayer requests from movie and TV executives as well as actors and actresses as they prepare for upcoming films and filming, we will pray for the younger generation of entertainers and their parents along with a host of events to show our support for those in prayer.
