Today, we are praying for producer Gale Anne Hurd (The Terminator, Aliens, Marvel's The Punisher 1-2, The Walking Dead) and actor Dustin Hoffman (Rain Man, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium).

Lord Jesus, we pray for the lonely, the hurting and the hopeless in the entertainment industry. We pray that they would discover Your plan and purpose for their lives and they would find community among Your people.

One longtime friend, CEO of a major international media company, would meet with me whenever I was in New York. Over time, our conversations deepened. Though a devout man of faith with a Jewish background, one day he asked me a question that stopped me:

“What am I missing?”

I thought of the man who asked Jesus, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” (Mark 10:17). In that moment, I had the opportunity to share the truth: he needed a personal relationship with God that only comes through Jesus Christ.

And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

Mark 10:21

That conversation with the media CEO, who makes decisions about what is shown on millions of screens around the world, only happened because someone was present. Someone who would genuinely show him the love of Christ.

Moments like this remind me why Mastermedia’s mission matters. Without a Christian voice in their lives, many in this industry may never hear the gospel in a personal, meaningful way.

We need your help to continue and expand this important work.

Would you please prayerfully consider a gift to MMI to enable us to keep pace with the ever-expanding legions of media professionals?
