What is the International House of Prayer (IHOP)?

The International House of Prayer is a non-profit missions organization located in Kansas City, MO. On September 19, 1999, a prayer meeting began which continues to this day, and has not stopped, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The prayer room is the heartbeat—the essence and the origin—of all that goes on at the IHOP–KC Missions Base.

What will I be studying in IHOP’s ministry school?

I will be doing a four-year diploma program called the "Justice Program," which was created to equip the prayer movement with an apostolic paradigm to serve the poor and oppressed. With this program I will be studying both at IHOP and abroad toward the goal of forming a theology of Justice with a Christocentric lens.

Why IHOP and the Justice Program?

I have a heart for reaching the invisible—the poor, the oppressed, often including women, children, and minority groups. While at IHOP I will have my mission and vision sharpened, so that I can be most effective in ministry. I want to be best equipped through giving my life in prayer, studying, going, and serving others.

What we are partnering together to do:

· While at IHOP I will be working in inner-city Kansas City, partnering with different churches to reach those in need and on the streets.
· I will also be working with Cristianos en Trabajo, which ministers to the Latino community, particularly children.
· I will be working with Exodus Cry which seeks to end sex slavery through fasting and prayer, raising widespread awareness, and outreach.
· Kansas City has high refugee population, which I hope to work with in some capacity (ie-teaching English, building relationships, etc).

What I will do following the program?
After the Justice Program I may stay with IHOP as a missionary on their base, or work domestically or abroad with a house of prayer or justice/ministry organization. I am interested in helping people, and giving myself to a lifestyle of prayer like the Prophetess Anna (Luke 2).

How can you be a part of this work?

The most practical way is through prayer and giving. Financial support can be given monthly, quarterly, annually, when lead, or as a one time special gift.

Checks can be made payable to me. Or, if you are interested in giving a tax deductible donation, make check/money order payable to "IHOP." For tax deduction purposes, the IRS stipulates my name not be written on the check. Please email me if you have any questions.


*Thank you so much for your prayers and may you be blessed.
