When you think of a "mission field," you might think of a remote village somewhere in the world where people have never heard of Jesus. But have you ever thought of Hollywood as a mission field?

Well, the people who started the Hollywood Prayer Network believe that the Hollywood Entertainment Industry is just as much of a mission field as anywhere else. They’ve committed to praying for celebrities, like Justin Bieber, for example, and have set up a website where people can read prayer requests and post prayers.

The HPN website says they want to reach three groups of people:

• Christians who will pray that God moves in Hollywood
• Christian celebrities and media professionals who need prayer support
• Celebrities and other media professionals who don’t know God yet

I think it’s a cool idea. The next time you’re tempted to criticize celebrities or judge their lifestyles, why don’t you pray for them instead?

James 5:16 (NIRV) says, “The prayer of a godly person is powerful. It makes things happen.”

Let’s make things happen! Who are you praying for?
