• Pray for Christians in Hollywood, asking the Lord to give them strength, to keep their walk strong with Him, to keep building a powerful community of believers for prayer, accountability, fellowship and encouragement. Ask Him also to enable Christians to share their faith as salt and light in this http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifmission field.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
• Pray for the salvation of decision-makers and cultural influencers in the entertainment industry, knowing they need Him desperately. When their hearts change, the content they create will also change. We can’t make people act like Christians, we can pray that the Lord will lead them to salvation.
• As the new Fall TV shows are starting to be written, let’s pray for the most powerful people in TV production – the Show Runners – the people who run the TV shows and have creative control of their series. To learn more about Show Runners click HERE. Women are not as well represented as men in television, so, would you pray with us for this season’s http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.giftop women Show Runners. They are listed HERE. May they find the Lord and His heart, as they try to balance all of their roles, including those who are wives and mothers, while influencing the world through the choices they make on their TV shows.
