The 3-day HPN LOCAL CHAPTER DIRECTORS SUMMIT was more than we could have hoped for!  We had 60 International Local Chapter Directors from 9 different countries all gather in Hollywood for a powerful three days of vision casting, a great Keynote speaker, panelists, a guided tour of Hollywood’s Christians roots, prayer walks, studio tours and the most amazing worship and prayer imaginable. We are praising God for our global volunteers who are going to change the world through their excitement, wisdom and understanding of the influence of Hollywood and their culture-shifting prayers from around the world.  If you would like to lead a local chapter in your city, please email us for more info!  Myesha@hpnemail.org

On Tuesday, July 26th, Twenty- Five actors gathered  for intentional prayer and community at the home of Jim and Karen Covell.  The topic of the night was depression.
