Our Mission
The Knoxville Chapter Hollywood Prayer Network is focused on prayer collaborations, bringing together multiple faith-based entertainment industry individuals and groups to pray in unison for each others successes in honoring God. We’ll have monthly hybrid meetings to network and join in prayer to help bring to fruition projects honoring Him in “The Spirit of Excellence & Service."
MEET KHPN DIRECTOR
KHPN Director Rob Ekno spent 30-years in Hollywood before being guided by God to Knoxville, TN. Ekno is an award-wininng Christian author, screenwriter, speaker, and broadcaster. He has been a member of Hollywood’s Screen Actors Guild since 1995. Most recently, in July 2024, Ekno was led to create the Knoxville International Christian Film Festival. As of July 2025, the KICFF has been blessed to offer creative Christians two inspiring award showcases for their works in honoring God in “The Spirit of Excellence & Service.”
