What is the International House of Prayer? November 9, 2009

You may be wondering, what is the International House of Prayer?

Since September 19, 1999, the International House of Prayer in Kansas City (IHOP-KC) has continued for ten years in night and day prayer with worship. This is the foundation of our ministry to win the lost, heal the sick, and make disciples, as we labor alongside the larger Body of Christ to see the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16) fulfilled and to function as forerunners (Isaiah 40, Malachi 4:5-6, Luke 1:17) who prepare the way for the return of Jesus.

By the grace of God, we are committed to combining 24/7 prayers for justice with 24/7 works for justice until the Lord returns. We do this best as our lives are rooted in prayer that focuses on intimacy with God, and intercession for a breakthrough of the fullness of God’s power and purpose for this generation, as we prepare for the unique dynamics of the generation in which the Lord returns, as described in Scripture.

It is incredible to think of the supporting ministries that have come out of this 24/7 prayer furnace.  Some ministries focus on things that edify the body of Christ like healing, prophesy, small groups and children.  Other ministries focus on groups not yet connected to the body of Christ, like orphans in other nations, women trapped in trafficking, the homeless and even those that just need to hear the gospel.  Both dynamics are needed in the church today and we are grateful to have made our roots here in Kansas City to be involved with how the Lord is moving through a 24/7 prayer room.

  1. thank you Michelle for your prayer ministry. I had a special time of fellowship with your mother Gail this morning. I also attend SMCC and am asking the Lord to teach me more about the Ephesian 6 exhoration to "Pray in the Spirit at all times, with all ki Says:

    Hi Michelle,

    I am not very computer literate, so wrote my comment in the space for “Name required”. Sorry. In case you can’t read it, I wrote that I had a special time of fellowship with your Mom, Gail this morning. She shared about your ministry. I long to know deeper depths in prayer according to the Eph. 6 exhoration to “Pray in the Spirit at all times, with all kinds of prayers, for all the saints.” She gave me a IHOP booklet, so I want to learn what God is teaching you in this vital ministry.
