Overview
The International House of Prayer of Kansas City (IHOP–KC) was founded by Mike Bickle. The organization began in a small building off of Grandview Road in Kansas City, Missouri as a prayer room dedicated to worshiping Jesus night and day. Since that time, IHOP–KC has grown and spread out over several different locations throughout south Kansas City and Grandview, Missouri. As of November 2010 the church had over 1,000 staff and a student body of another 1,000 individuals.
IHOP–KC is most well 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 IHOP–KC, the missions organization has also established many different ministries that service 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.
IHOP–KC staff regularly teach on themes that include prayer, worship, the Great Commandment, the Great Commission, eschatology, understanding God's spiritual purposes for Israel, spiritual gifts and other various evangelical themes.
