We refer to our full-time staff at the International House of Prayer as “intercessory missionaries.” They raise their own support to work as full-time missionaries who reach out to others from a lifestyle of prayer and worship. Today, about 2,000 believers (staff, students, and interns) serve full-time, investing fifty hours per week, as they go from the prayer room to the classroom and then to ministry outreaches and works of service. Also, as those who are committed to the forerunner message, we are spiritually equipping ourselves to prepare others for the unique dynamics of the generation in which the Lord returns.

Weekends at IHOPKC are designed as a three-day experience for those who desire to grow in the knowledge of love of God, be renewed in their spiritual life, and spend time in an environment of 24/7 prayer. Come encounter God in the prayer room, in the classroom, and at our weekend worship and teaching services. This means that at any time (night or day) since 2007 believers globally can watch the worship with prayer in Kansas City, hearing the Word sung and prayed and joining in our intercession for revival, harvest, and a great move of God at the end of the age. The prayer room webstream began with only one camera in 2003, exposing worship with prayer to a global audience. Over the years we’ve received many reports of believers from all over the world (including Christians in persecuted lands) who are encouraged by watching the prayer room.
HOURS
Find yourself in the hands of a Father who loves you and who is dedicated to liberating, transforming, and establishing you in His purpose. This is your hour to take your place, engage in your calling, and shape history through prayer and fasting. He moves not only to encompass a generation with love but to ignite His own burning light inside them until they fill the darkest regions of the earth with His life. He is inviting you to partner with Him in something greater than you can imagine. The report is not comprehensive; at least two of Bickle’s alleged victims did not participate over the terms of the investigation and are calling for a “truly independent third party” inquiry.
What to do at IHOPKC
Following in this tradition, in 1999 the International House of Prayer started a prayer and worship meeting in Kansas City. For 60 years, the IHOP® family restaurant chain has served our world-famous pancakes and a wide variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner items that are loved by people of all ages - offering an affordable, everyday dining experience with warm and friendly service. At our tenth anniversary, on September 19, 2009, our staff members renewed their commitment to serve the Lord in 24/7 prayer with worship and made an additional commitment to serve the Lord and people with 24/7 works of justice. These labors involve mercy ministry (e.g., food, shelter), justice issues (e.g., sanctity of life), missions, and evangelism. Other outreaches include Children’s Justice Initiative to serve orphans and children at risk.

We are committed to prayer, fasting, the Great Commission, and to living as forerunners, spiritually preparing for the unique dynamics of the end times. The work of our ministry includes equipping and sending out missionaries as dedicated intercessors and evangelists who work to see revival within the Church and a harvest among those searching for God. We take seriously the mandate to train believers to love Jesus and others wholeheartedly, as together we go forth to preach the Word, heal the sick, serve the poor, plant houses of prayer, and proclaim the return of Jesus across the earth.

After receiving specific direction from the Lord, Mike called churches in Kansas City to a 21-day solemn assembly of prayer and fasting. During that time, the Lord gave a prophetic word to do “24/7 prayer in the spirit of the tabernacle of David.” This birthed 16 years of prayer meetings held three times per day at the church Mike was pastoring. He now says the word was the continuation of what he had first heard in the hotel in Cairo eight months earlier, that the two words are linked. On September 19, 2009, while celebrating our ten-year anniversary together, we made a sober commitment before God to combine 24/7 prayers for justice with 24/7 works of justice until the Lord returns. However, at that time, we set our heart to significantly increase our outreach and ministry to others outside our missions base. Thus, we are developing many new outreach ministries that will continue 24/7 alongside our 24/7 prayer and worship.
Some former IHOPKC members have said the church was coercive and cult-like; the church has stated that it’s elder-led, has checks in place for leaders, and is committed to safety against sexual, emotional, physical, and spiritual abuse. Bickle agreed to pause from preaching and teaching while the church engages “outside parties to assess and arbitrate the allegation,” IHOPKC leaders announced during Sunday’s service and on social media. Bickle, 68, has been accused of sexual misconduct “where the marriage covenant was not honored,” according to a statement released Saturday from a group of former IHOPKC leaders who investigated the claims. We have an invitation to fill the earth with the gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit. Our Global Classroom offers an unparalleled experience and dynamic training with no boundaries.
Some consider his ministry a part of the independent charismatics, though he has rejected the “New Apostolic Reformation” label. He appeared on Charisma’s Strang Report earlier this month to share a prophetic word regarding the war in Israel, and earlier this year held a fast for the “salvation of Israel,” which Bickle says will bring about the Second Coming. The Lord has called us to be a community of believers committed to God, each other, and to establishing and maintaining a 24/7 house of prayer in Kansas City—a perpetual solemn assembly gathering corporately to fast and pray in the spirit of the tabernacle of David. The IHOPKC community exists to partner in the Great Commission by advancing 24/7 prayer with worship and proclaiming the beauty of Jesus and His glorious return. Whether you're hungry for one of our popular breakfast items or looking for lunch, dinner, or late night dining ideas there is an IHOP® location in California ready to serve.

Mike Bickle and a small group of intercessors and worship leaders staffed the prayer room. Our hearts overflow with thanks to the Lord for His grace and faithfulness to us over the years. Forerunner School of Prayer, which would later become International House of Prayer University, was founded in 1999, equipping people to intercede and lead a lifestyle of prayer. Founded by Mike Bickle, the International House of Prayer of Kansas City began on May 7, 1999, with a humble, hungry group of young people crying out to God for thirteen hours each and every day. Four months later, on September 19, these “intercessory missionaries” extended their schedule to 24/7.
The following documents are given as a help and encouragement to us all to live out a happy, healthy, and holy lifestyle. This IHOP breakfast restaurant is located at 800 S Flower St, Los Angeles between Flower St and Hope St. Our nearest bus stop is 8th St and Flower St Bus Stop. Abuse attorney and advocate Boz Tchividjian, who is representing at least one of Bickle’s victims, has criticized the ministry’s response. For your convenience, we have compiled a list of transportation services that are available, whether you need to rent a vehicle or you need transportation to and from the airport to the Red Bridge Center and IHOPU. The developer, International House of Prayer, indicated that the app’s privacy practices may include handling of data as described below. We launched the Center for Biblical End-Time Studies (CBETS), a three-year program of study through the 150 Bible chapters that are primarily about the end times.
Bob, who passed away in 2014, played a pivotal role in encouraging Mike during the early years of the movement and was a great friend to IHOPKC. The scandal has frustrated former IHOPKC members who say they experienced an unhealthy culture at the ministry and who are praying for greater transparency and accountability. In recent weeks, charismatic leaders who have been close to the movement have also spoken up to address the scandal.
Lou Engle, the founder of TheCall prayer ministry, had spent five years at IHOPKC and began Justice House of Prayer in DC. He released a statement on Tuesday saying he believes the advocates and “Jane Doe,” that he is praying for a full confession from Bickle, and wants to see a mutually agreed-upon independent investigation. IHOPU obtained permission to accept international students, and the first students from outside the US arrived for the fall semester of 2010.

It’s absolutely wrong and evil,” said Brown, founder of the ministry Think Eternity. During our 19th anniversary, about 1,000 Chinese church leaders from across the globe joined us in Kansas City. This four-day gathering called Convergence was greatly used by the Lord to shift our IHOPKC community into a reset with a renewed commitment to prioritize growing as a family.
A few of the children who attended that first camp in 2002 are part of our staff today as worship leaders, singers, and musicians. We hosted the first Onething conference in January 2002 at the Kansas City Convention Center with several thousand worshipers. For the next 16 years, we were blessed to host an average of 20,000 young people who gathered in person and online to encounter God through extended times of worship, teaching of the Word, and ministry in the power of the Holy Spirit.
