A GREAT IDEA: HOLLYWOOD MEDIA PRAYER BREAKFAST

Friend and Founder of the Hollywood Prayer Network, Karen Covell, has another great idea in the works. It’s the first annual Prayer Breakfast for the Media. Supah smaht, as we say heah in New England. Here’s the press release for the upcoming event. If you can help them get some press on the event, please copy and send on.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Hollywood, California–Some of America’s most respected leaders from varied

fields of endeavor believe that Hollywood and prayer should come together.

They have endorsed the October first National Media Prayer Breakfast at The

Beverly Hilton. The event focuses prayer on the entertainment industry’s

700 most powerful and influential movers and shakers.

Endorsement comes from a diverse group of notables: Ken Blanchard, author

of the “One Minute Manager.” Rhonda Fleming, legendary film actress and

philanthropist. Eric Close, a star of the CBS series “Without a Trace.”

Norm Miller, Chairman of Interstate Batteries. William E. Simon, Jr.,

businessman and former candidate for Governor of California. Nicholas De

Marco, top New York Fashion industry executive. Sonja McNair, Essence

Communications Partner.

A number of prominent entertainment industry leaders have endorsed the

breakfast: Sam Haskell III, Executive VP of the famed William Morris

Agency. Lowell “Bud” Paxon, chairman of the PAX Television Network. Carl

Vogel, chairman of cable giant Charter Communications. Al C. Sykes,

Former Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. Tony Thomopolous,

former president of ABC television.

Some of Hollywood’s most successful creative talents have also expressed

their desire to see the nation’s faithful pray for the leaders of media at

the Beverly Hills event: Pat Boone, for decades one of the biggest names

in pop music and film. Dean Jones, lovable star of a number of Disney film

classics and other performing roles.

Ralph Winter, producer of such hit films as “X-Men,” “Inspector Gadget,”

and “Star Trek” films. Dave Alan Johnson, who has created and produces

such successful TV series as “Doc” and “Sue Thomas, F. B. Eye.”

The endorsement list also includes notables from the world of inspirational

media such as Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, authors of the runaway

best-selling “Left Behind” book series, David Cerullo, President and CEO of

The Inspiration Networks, and Jerry Rose, President and CEO of Total Living

Network (TLN).

Taken together, the endorsements seem to proclaim, “After decades of prayer

breakfasts focusing on leaders in government, education, and business, it

is time to focus national prayer on the leaders of global media.” This,

clearly, is the vision of the National Media Prayer Breakfast.

International in alliance with the Hollywood

Prayer Network .
