We bought the strip mall on Red Bridge Road in Kansas City on February 26, 2001. 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). 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.

Location of Worship
Other outreaches include Children’s Justice Initiative to serve orphans and children at risk. 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.
House of Prayer Team
Following in this tradition, in 1999 the International House of Prayer started a prayer and worship meeting in Kansas City. 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.
Teaching
We pray for all who enter and patronize this temple, that they may receive sacred blessings and remain worthy and faithful to their covenants made here. We pray also that this may be a house of peace, a house of comfort and a house of personal revelation for all who enter these doors worthily. We ask Thee to bless those who seek to understand the power with which they are endowed here to receive knowledge from on high. Across Italy there are houses of prayer run by the Ricostruttori (Reconstructors) community, a Catholic movement dedicated to people who are far from the Church but attracted to spirituality, particularly Eastern meditation and Buddhist practices. When God described His meeting place, He used the phrase “house of prayer.” Prayer in Jewish culture and Hebrew word meaning wasn’t just a laundry list of wishes or a heavenly “honey-do” list.
The only matters left for consideration are whether the church has shown cause for not complying and who bears responsibility for that, prosecutors say. Federal prosecutors say any arguments against turning over the documents are irrelevant at this point, since the time for doing so has passed. “A man who steals from a church does not fear God, his community or law enforcement. The court ordered the church and its parent company to turn over documents, but they refuse, saying this would violate their Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate themselves. According to previous court filings, the Department of Veterans Affairs paid more than $20 million in benefits to the church as part of GI Bill funding for education. The FBI simultaneously raided House of Prayer churches in Hinesville and Augusta in June 2022 for suspected VA fraud.

The church claimed to provide seminary schooling, and had more than 300 veterans enrolled for nearly a decade. The church seminary is accused of scamming the government out of GI Bill funds by recruiting veterans but not delivering worthy instruction.

Faith was still central to meeting with the Lord, it was just that the faith took on a different expression for Jewish believers than for Christian ones. Many like to describe their church as a “House of Prayer.” But what does that mean? Church prayer expert, Jon Graf, shares his insights on this important topic. 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. Lenny and Tracey La Guardia moved to Kansas City to join the International House of Prayer and establish the Children’s Equipping Center (CEC). The families of IHOPKC so appreciate Lenny and Tracey who continue to lead a dedicated team that serves thousands of children (ages 1–12) through camps, conferences, and trainings—whether in our own community, around the nation, or abroad.
Question of the Week
We dedicate its firm foundation, that it may be sturdy and unfailing. Wilt Thou protect this building and its surroundings from the elements and from anyone who might approach these sacred precincts with evil intent? Please bless the surrounding grounds, the shrubbery, flowers and all that will beautify this sacred sector of Sanpete Valley. We rededicate this magnificent temple to Thee from its foundation to its towers. Please bless the systems that will function here — mechanical, electrical, audiovisual and all other supports and service functions of the temple.
A Prayer When a Situation Seems Impossible
A few years after the prayer room opened in 1999, prayer meetings began in Spanish, Korean, and Chinese. As different ethnic groups continued to grow in our community, more languages were added to prayer meetings. On June 10, 2013, we dedicated the All Nations Prayer Room to the Lord where prayer with worship was led 85 hours per week in nine languages—Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Farsi, Portuguese, French, and German. 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.
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. 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. 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. Over the last 25 plus years, the Lord has graciously given us about 25 powerful prophetic experiences that provide insight into what will happen in the days ahead in Kansas City, the USA, and other nations. These supernatural experiences were given to several prophetic people in the 1970s and 1980s.
The movement launched by Cappelletto spread by word of mouth throughout Italy, from Piedmont to Sicily. Today, it is recognized as a public association of the faithful, encompassing people from various backgrounds and vocations. The church contends it can withhold documentation from the court on Fifth Amendment grounds, a defense federal prosecutors argue has absolutely no legal ground, court records show. An attorney representing the church did not return a request for comment ahead of publication. Federal prosecutors say a church accused of scamming veterans out of millions of dollars’ worth of benefits is stalling an investigation and should be held in contempt of court and fined. We ought to make sure we don’t bring selfishness, commerce, racism, disunity, or any other thing that would hinder a spirit of sweet joyful prayer to the gathering of God’s people.
Remember, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us, and God knows your heart even if you can't find the words to pray. 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. IHOPU obtained permission to accept international students, and the first students from outside the US arrived for the fall semester of 2010.
Former church officials and members described to Military.com how its leadership pushed service members and veterans to give their pay and benefits. In some cases, the church pressured its members to cut off ties to their families and either move into the church or provide full-time labor without pay. This article is part of our prayer resources meant to inspire and encourage your prayer life when you face uncertain times.
Prayer was a heartbeat for Paul’s ministry and it is meant to be ours as well. God’s heart for his place of worship was that it would be characterized by prayer. There are a lot of things we think of when we think about going to church but is prayer the first thing that pops into our minds. Offers priests a prayerful respite from daily ministerial activity.
