The International House of Prayer (IHOP or IHOPKC) is a charismatic Pentecostal Christian movement and missions organization based in Kansas City, Missouri, and the nearby suburb of Grandview that focuses on prayer, worship, signs, and wonders.
It is best known for the prayer room which has run 24/7 with live worship teams since September 19, 1999, and simultaneously broadcast via its website. Doctrinally, IHOPKC is charismatic, post-tribulational, and affirms historic premillennialism. IHOPKC places great importance on the practices of prayer, worship, fasting, and spiritual gifts.
IHOPKC is based in Kansas City, Missouri. It runs a training facility which houses a Bible school, music academy, and media institute, collectively known as the International House of Prayer University (IHOPU) in nearby Grandview, Missouri.
The annual Onething conference has been hosted by IHOPKC since 2002 in the Kansas City Convention Center.
The International House of Prayer of Kansas City (IHOPKC) was founded by Mike Bickle. The organization began in a small building off Grandview Road in Kansas City, Missouri, as a prayer room dedicated to worshiping Jesus night and day. Since that time, IHOPKC has grown and spread out over several different locations throughout south Kansas City and Grandview, Missouri. As of November 2010[update], the church had over 1,000 staff and a student body of another 1,000 individuals.
IHOPKC is best known for its daily prayer meetings based on its "harp and bowl" worship model that are held 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year since September 19, 1999. While the prayer meeting is the primary ministry of IHOPKC, the missions organization has also established many different ministries that serve its community. These prayer meetings, which are streamed live on the internet and through GOD TV, alternate regularly between music and prayer through all hours of the day and night.
