Will You Join us in Praying for the Media This Sunday?
By: CMAA
History will be made on Sunday, October 27, when believers of all denominations across the world, will unite for the first time in 24 hours of prayer – for the media, arts and entertainment industries.
This inaugural event is a united initiative of four Christian organisations representing the media and arts in the USA, UK, Australia and New Zealand:
- Hollywood Prayer Network
- Christians in Media UK
- Christian Media and Arts Australia
- Christian Broadcasting Association NZ
What is the Global Day of Prayer for the Media?
The idea for the prayer day was born out of a shared vision to support people working in both the religious and secular media, and to see God’s spirit moving and working in these sectors.
“As Christians we feel called to stand for truth, integrity and justice in a world crying out for God’s love, grace and compassion,” says the event website. “Media impacts all our lives… from east to west, as the sun rises to greet the new day, we will pray.”
The 24-hour day of prayer will take place over livestream and will involve hosts from around the world taking turns to lead the prayer gathering, as well as guest speakers representing the diverse media arena across the continents, sharing messages to encourage and inspire our prayers.

What Will We Be Praying For?
Some of the areas we will be praying for include:
- The people behind the profession, for support in the challenges they face.
- For church media teams and for positive relationships between church and the media.
- For local, regional, national and social media – both secular and Christian.
- For the media to give a voice to the voiceless and to be held to account.
- For Christians in media to hold firm to Biblical beliefs and convictions, courageously presenting the truth with integrity, without bias or agenda.
