Two college interns began working at the Hollywood Prayer Network (HPN) in mid-January where they suddenly began to see a side of Hollywood that is very rarely seen or understood: the spiritual side.

A few weeks into working at HPN, the two interns began to periodically conduct street interviews with local Hollywood professionals about spirituality.

"What was quickly uncovered was an astounding revelation that the vast majority of industry workers are thirsting for some sort of spiritual connection," said Hollywood Prayer Network founder, Karen Covell.

"During one of the interviews the interns caught an actor, Stephen, outside Paramount Studios, and it was revealed that he was longing for a spiritual bolstering," she said.

"Stephen is just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, all seven interviewees from that day divulged a faith or hunger for God."

Covell said HPN believes in the power of prayer and the real, exciting effects it can have on life.

She added: "Praying for Hollywood stars and industry professionals may sound strange to many, but HPN is passionate about it."

In fact, according to an HPN media release, they'll be gathering with hundreds of other industry professionals and local church leaders on Thursday, May 6th at 7:30pm at Bel Air Presbyterian Church for the National Day of Prayer.
