(Assist News) On November 4, Hollywood celebrities, top producers, directors and executives will be joined by people from across the nation at the 2nd Annual National Media Prayer Breakfast, to mobilize spiritual support for the 700 most powerful media professionals in the world.

The words “prayer” and “Hollywood” are not often seen in the same sentence, but prayer for Hollywood’s leaders will definitely be on the minds of attendees of the 2nd Annual National Media Prayer Breakfast in Los Angeles, CA. More than 1,000 people are expected to attend.

Established in 2004, the National Media Prayer Breakfast (NMPB) was designed to mobilize spiritual support for leaders of global media, recognize people of faith in media, and reinforce the value of faith in media decision-making. A Christian event open to people of all faiths, NMPB is neither issues-focused nor political. Organizers say the event is intended as a positive expression of care and support for those leaders of global media who wield tremendous influence and who have demonstrated their past appreciation for supportive prayer in the decisions they make.

“The message to Hollywood’s elite is that there are millions of Christians who care enough about them to pray for them—not boycott, protest or bash them,” says Dr. Larry Poland, founder of NMPB and CEO of Mastermedia International. “We want to send media leaders the positive message of God’s love.” Poland feels strongly about modeling positive alternatives to the “anger strategies” that have been directed at the entertainment community by people of faith in the past, he says.

The National Media Prayer Breakfast will take place on Friday, November 4, 2005 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles. For more information go to www.mediaprayer.org.

NMPB is sponsored by Mastermedia International and The Hollywood Prayer Network.
