Four months later, on September 19, 1999, prayer and worship extended to the full 24/7 schedule. 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. 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.

Our record label, Forerunner Music, was founded in 2001 by Nick Syrett, with the studio opening on the Shiloh property in spring 2001. IHOPKC worship leaders, singers, and musicians from the prayer room, including Jon Thurlow, Misty Edwards, Jaye Thomas, and Laura Hackett Park, have been featured on around 150 albums from Forerunner Music. At IHOPKC, Bickle emphasizes fasting, prophesy, the spiritual realm, and the end times. Some consider his ministry a part of the independent charismatics, though he has rejected the “New Apostolic Reformation” label.

These supernatural experiences were given to several prophetic people in the 1970s and 1980s. They include times when various believers saw the Lord, heard God’s audible voice, saw an angel, or had prophetic dreams that were dramatically confirmed. Other outreaches include Children’s Justice Initiative to serve orphans and children at risk.
History
We are thankful for all those who have served on staff—from the first worship song in the old trailers on September 19, 1999 to today. I’ve loved this app for the years I’ve had it, and it has really pushed me deeper in the Lord in seasons of my life. A few things are broken now; you can’t search sermons by teacher anymore (if you try to it crashes), and managing my downloads doesn’t work (will also crash). The sermons are amazing, I love the worship, and the all nations prayer room is a blessing too. Mike is the author of several books including Passion for Jesus, Growing in the Prophetic, The Pleasures of Loving God, After God’s Own Heart, and Prayers to Strengthen Your Inner Man.
Red Bridge Center Acquired
Over the next two years, we gradually moved our center of operations from the trailers in Grandview to the new location at Red Bridge Center equipped with much-needed office space and meeting rooms. We also expanded our facilities during that time by providing a kitchen for the internships and starting work on a coffee shop. The first internship began with five young adults, including Misty Edwards, Alisha Powell, and Aaron Walsh. Since then we have expanded to five different internships and have had the privilege to be part of equipping thousands of interns who have gone on to staff prayer rooms across the US and abroad (as well as our own prayer room). We have arranged special rates for our IHOPKC visitors with some local hotels that we partner with. Whether you’re coming to Kansas City for one of our events or simply to spend time in the prayer room, be sure to mention the International House of Prayer in order to receive this special rate when you call to make your reservation.
Take a Gap Year to Pursue God.
We are partnering with Women’s Life Center, a local crisis pregnancy center helping women who refuse abortion and choose life. In the future we plan to provide homes and restoration programs for victims of human trafficking and domestic violence, and prostitutes who respond to the gospel. A few years after the prayer room opened in 1999, prayer meetings began in Spanish, Korean, and Chinese.
What to do at IHOPKC
We joined Youth With a Mission (YWAM) in a commitment to help raise up one million intercessors for global missions, furthering the partnership between IHOPKC and YWAM and the joining of missions and prayer. We announced our partnership with Every Home for Christ (EHC), one of the largest and most effective missions organizations in the world. Our newly renovated university campus opened its doors to returning and incoming students, offering much-needed additional space from its previous building. For the first time at IHOPU, students from all three schools—Forerunner School of Ministry, Forerunner Music Academy, and Forerunner Media Institute—were united on the same campus that year.
A movement of unceasing worship with prayer had begun, which, in the grace of God, shall continue till Jesus 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.

We held the last (for the foreseeable future) Onething conference—an annual tradition since 2002 which has attracted tens of thousands of believers to Kansas City. The last Onething built on themes of the reset, with a more spontaneous and family feel that included times of corporate confession, intercession, and repentance. 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.
The Kansas City Star reported that Bickle preached on false allegations last Sunday.
Our desire is that every tribe, tongue, and nation be fully immersed in the beauty of Jesus and the details of His glorious return in their “heart language”—their mother tongue. The prayer room was moved from the trailer on Grandview Road into the remodeled Red Bridge Center, bringing a much-needed addition of space and amenities. The new prayer room was dedicated on March 7, 2003, and continues today as the Global Prayer Room (GPR). In Assisi, Italy, Mike heard the Lord say that He would raise up “friends of the Bridegroom forerunner messengers” to prepare the Bride for Christ’s return. John the Baptist called himself a “friend of the Bridegroom” because he prepared the way for Jesus’ first coming. We are believing the Lord to raise up many such messengers in advance of Jesus’ second coming.
The following documents are given as a help and encouragement to us all to live out a happy, healthy, and holy lifestyle. 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. Mike Bickle, the founder of the International House of Prayer of Kansas City (IHOPKC), is facing allegations of sexual and spiritual abuse spanning decades and involving multiple women. The Isaiah 19 Initiative is committed to building up a culture of prayer within the Body of Christ for the highway of worship, unprecedented unity, and the completion of the Great Commission in Egypt, Assyria, and Israel. In the last few years - God has started tearing down the structures of old and is raising up a new expression to this generation.
