Request for continued prayer for an actor named "Bill"
Submitted by TNC1701 on Fri, 05/28/2010 - 00:01.In recent months, I contacted your website in regard to a man whose name is William ("Bill"), in concern regarding his relationship with Jesus Christ. I am writing to thank you for your prayers, and to ask that you please continue to pray with me for the salvation of a man named Bill, and for those in his life who don’t know Jesus or how much He truly loves them. Bill knows about who Jesus is, and while He may be of many of the people in Bill's life, He's not "in" Bill's life. Bill needs a relationship with the Lord, not a religion. Please ask the Lord to extend His spirit to facilitate and lead a conversational witness through anyone whom He may choose.
Please ask God to extend His grace toward Bill, doing everything needed to call him, chase him, overcome his pride, lift the veil from his eyes, bring conviction to his heart and show him his need for a Savior. Like us all, Bill has made some mistakes, and has unfortunately had some tragic things to happen in his life. I fear his heart has hardened. He, and his loved ones need knowledge about God's love, His grace, His glory, His offer of forgiveness, healing, deliverance, and protection--especially now because at this time Bill needs release from addictive vulnerabilities, depression, and is in danger of influence by unbelievers (who also need prayer) whose worldly beliefs stand in opposition to God's word.
Please ask the Lord to surround Bill with the right people who can minister to him. He knows who they are. Please ask Him to use the challenges Bill has endured to further the kingdom and lead him to salvation; then, that others will see and also be pointed to Christ by what God does in Bill's life. Thank you, for your help to pray for this man. Those prayers are sincerely appreciated, and I look forward to the day when I’ll be able to share a praise report. In Him for His glory, Sarah S.
For all Producers in the Industry.

Request for prayer pertaining to a need for salvation
Submitted by TNC1701 on Tue, 01/19/2010 - 00:57.This person is an actor, but I will not use his full name. I will simply call him Bill. Please pray for his salvation, that the Lord will extend His spirit to facilitate and lead a conversational witness through someone of His choosing. Please ask God to extend His grace and Spirit toward this Bill, doing everything needed to show him his need for Jesus. Like us all, he's made some mistakes, and has had some unfortunate things to happen in his life. Please ask the Lord to surround him with believers who can minister to him, and speak with him about the matters of repentance, grace, and what it means to "know" Jesus; about how Jesus is a relationship, not a "religion"; about how "Jesus loves you" and "Jesus saves" are faithful proclamations of absolute truth, not simple cliches. Please ask the Lord to use the challenges Bill has endured to further the kingdom and lead him to salvation; then, that others who are lost will see and also be pointed to Christ because of Bill's faith and what they see God doing in his life. Thank you.
Praise!
Submitted by Christa Evans on Sun, 11/15/2009 - 03:06.Thank you to all those who prayed for my school when the director of the Hollywood Prayer Network came to speak at my university's chapel. God really was there and so many kids minds where changed about praying for Hollywood as and seeing it as a mission field!! I was so excited and there's a slight possibility that my school might start spring break missions trips to Hollywood!! I'm going to go talk to the person at my school who's in charge of all that soon so if some might not mind praying that if it's God's will that my university would start sending students on Spring Break missions trips to Hollywood??? That would greatly be appreciated!! Thank you! God Bless, Christa (Spring Arbor University)
Prayer for school opportunity!!
Submitted by Christa Evans on Sat, 08/15/2009 - 19:30.Hi! At my Free-Methodist university many of my peers and college professors do not see Hollywood as a mission field. It looks like someone from the Hollywood Prayer Network will be coming to speak at my school's chapel this fall!! I'm so excited. Would you please pray that God would speak through this person and that God would open up doors so that my school would see how important it really is to continue to send believers to Hollywood or just to pray for Hollywood? It just breaks my heart when I see my peers and professors not recognize Hollywood as a mission field. (I don't know the date yet in which she is coming. I will know that when I go back in September.) I just want to see God really move in my school this fall and that many of my peers and college professors will begin to question and start to realize the importance in praying for Hollywood, the celebrities and the entertainment professionals. I'd greatly appreciate it!! Thank you! Christa
