REQUESTS:
• The
networks officially announce their 2012-13 Primetime schedules the week
of May 14." Let’s pray for the
Network Executives to make wise choices this month as they make their final decisions on what shows to pick up.
And
let’s pray for the Agents, who are already madly hustling to get their
writers and producers hired on some of the 80 Fall season series that
they know will be returning. This year we’re excited to know some great
Christians who are TV writers and Show Runners being considered for some
of these
network and cable shows.
Let’s
pray that our
community is well represented on this Fall’s TV shows’ writing staffs
and that Lord will use these professionals to make an eternal
difference, both in the lives of the people they work with, and through
the scripts they write that millions of people will be watching.

We
want to remember our dear friend Jack Gilbert, a writer, teacher,
visionary and Christ-like man, who passed away at the end of March.
He was 62 and had an unbelievable impact on our community and our world over the past 30+ years while working in
Hollywood.
May
we pray for his family members and friends who miss him so much and ask
the Lord to keep using Jack’s memory to impact professionals all over
Hollywood.
And we praise Him
that Jack is truly home!

• Walt
Disney Studios has had a rocky year, with lay-offs and a tremendous cut
in the number of feature films in production. Let’s pray for Bob Iger -
President & Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company.
May he discover the unconditional love of Jesus in his life and work. (

Please
pray for the young people who watch so much TV, play so many video
games, spend so much time on facebook and listen to a tremendous amount
of music.
And let’s encourage our young people to pray for
the people in their media world. The best way for them to pray is to
download our KIDS and/or TEENS
Prayer calendars each month

REQUESTS FROM HPN MEMBERS:
• Our HPN Local Chapter Director in Spain:
“…We´re
in the midst of planning our Summer Camp. Our main need right now is
for volunteers. We´ve only got two so far, for which we´re thankful, but
we need at least six more, so we´d like to ask you to join us in prayer
for God´s provision and would like to ask you to distribute the
information to whoever you think might be interested. If you have any
idea of people or places we can send this info. please let us know. The
dates for the camp are from June 20th to July 28th. It would be a great
short term missions experience for artists to spend five weeks in
Spain…” Thanks so much and blessings on you
all.” Héctor, Lilli and Danny and the Aslan team
