Our vision is: To create a strategic prayer network for the Hollywood Entertainment Industry through Inter-Mission, a ministry of Hollywood Presbyterian Church. Ultimately we want to see a revival in our industry and we believe it must begin with prayer. We believe this will only happen by facilitating a prayer ministry nationwide. Our goal is: 1) To have industry, individually and corporately, prayed for on a regular basis. 2) To bring the Christian Entertainment community into a closer relationship with the Lord and into closer unity with one another. 3) To see more non-Christians commit their lives to the Lord because of the prayers of the Saints. 4) To impact Hollywood and its product. If we are going to change people, one at a time, from the inside-out, it must start with the love of Jesus and the prayers of His people. 5) To pray for Hollywood Presbyterian Church which has been supporting the Inter-Mission ministry since 1987. Our strategy is: To unite individuals, churches and para-church organizations across America to pray for the Hollywood Entertainment Industry. A) We will begin by calling Hollywood ministry leaders in the industry to make a commitment to pray for one another. B) Invite local churches to unite with us in prayer for our industry. C) Contact those churches and para-church organizations across the country with whom we have personal relationships and who have a vision for Hollywood as a mission field. D) Contact strategic churches, individuals and para-church organizations across the country and invite them to join The Prayer Network. E) We will produce a 5 minute video on Hollywood as a mission field - an unreached people group. The video will define the need for prayer, lay-out our plan, and explain how they might join us. It will also include basic information about our mission field and give suggestions on how to pray for both Christian and non-Christian industry professionals. F) A future step will be to challenge these churches to mobilize prayer partners from their church and assign them a specific Christian Industry professional for whom to pray. G) Printed guidelines will be supplied for prayer partners with suggestions on how they can keep contact with each other. H) We will publish a quarterly Prayer Newsletter, updating all members of the network on the prayer needs, the answered prayers, praise reports and personal stories of victory and/or struggle. It will be available by mail or email. I) We will have a Prayer Hot Line, a toll-free phone number available to call 24 hours to receive prayer requests and praise reports. There will be a group of intercessory prayers who will pray for every request received on the Hot Line. J) The Prayer Network Website will give continual updates on specific prayers for the entertainment industry. Included will be prayer needs for: indiviuals, television shows, films, issues and current struggles or victories. It will also have links to other prayer efforts focused on Hollywood. Great efforts will be made to insure that our research, statistics, prayer requests and general information will be tasteful, accurate and non-judgmental. We will strive to be wise in our approach and professional in our endeavors. This new ministry of Inter-Mission was launched in March 2001. Please let us know if you would like to become a member of our prayer network. |
