OUR PART IN THIS GLOBAL PRAYER MOVEMENT

In 1000 BC the Tabernacle of David was established. King David set up a tent on Mount Zion when He returned the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 15:1).Within the tent he instituted a new order of worship that was unlike anything which proceded it. David appointed thousands of singers and musicians who ministered day and night to the Lord. They continued this for 33 years (1 Chron 16:37, 23:5, 25:6-7; 2 Samuel 5:5).
Throughout history there has been pockets of time where night and day prayer have been established. IHOP(International House of Prayer) started a prayer meeting on September 19, 1999 that has since continued 24/7. We function as a base with nearly 1,000 staff members raising their own support.
I encourage you to be a part of the International House of Prayer (IHOP) in Kansas City, MO; just one small part in God's amazing timeline.

TAKE THE FIRE OF PRAYER BACK HOME
The missions base provides an ideal opportunity for all who wish to get away from routine of life and be with God in a focused environment. You can find renewal in the 24/7 prayerroom, attend a conference, or purchase resources from our bookstore to take back home.

KEEP THE FIRE BURNING THROUGH GIVING
The prayer room is kept in motion by the giving of those whose hearts have been stirred by what is happening here in Kansas City. Partners don't necessarily live in the immediate area, but are stilled joined to us by their ongoing financial giving.

FUEL THE PRAYER ROOM THROUGH HIGHER EDUCATION
IHOP humbly seeks to redefine higher education through night and day prayer. Whether in the classroom, in the middle of the prayer room or online, all students are immersed in the practical and biblical foundations of a lifestyle of intimacy with Jesus.

PREPARE FOR A NEW LIFESTYLE
In the day and in the night, from teens to retirees and singles to families, our internships are uniquely designed to offer opportunities to be equipped for a lfestyle of prayer, fasting, and worship. The abandoned pursuit of Jesus and preparation for His return ia our common call.

KEEP THE FIRE ON THE ALTAR BURNING
The prayer room is the heartbeat-the essence and origin-of all that goes on at the missions base. It is kept in motion by full- and part-time singers, musicians, intercessors and worship leaders. Our staff members have come from all over the world to give their lives to keep the fire on the alter going night and day.

YOUR INVOLVEMENT, WHATEVER IT MAY BE, MAKES THE PRAYER ROOM TURN.

"ACROSS TEH GLOBE, MEN AND WOMAEN OF GOD ARE LONGING FOR A NEW EXPRESSION OF CHRISTIANITY-ONE THAT WILL ONLY COME FORTH FROM NIGHT AND DAY WORSHIP AND PRAYER."
