International House of Prayer

The IHOP Missions Base is an international missions organization in Kansas City committed to Prayer (intercession, worship, healing, prophesying, etc.), Fasting (covering 365 days a year) the Great Commission (proclaiming Jesus to all nations) and the Forerunner Ministry (preparing the Bride for the End-times). Our work includes equipping and sending missionaries as dedicated intercessors and evangelists working to see revival in the Church and a Great Harvest among the lost.

The Holy Spirit is orchestrating a global prayer strategy far eclipsing any other prayer movement in history, resulting in a unprecedented harvest of souls and completing the Great Commission. Historically, the prayer side of the Great Commission has been neglected. Throughout the earth, it will become common to hear of "intercessory worship" ministries that continue non-stop 24 hours a day in the worshipping spirit of the Tabernacle of David.

In the Old Testament, King David organized 4,000 musicians and 288 singers to minister to God before the Ark of the Covenant in shifts that continued 24 hours a day. He financially released them to worship God as their full-time occupation. We are focused on understanding the heavenly model of worship as seen in the book of Revelation, where the 24 heavenly elders came to Jesus with two things: a "harp and a bowl" (Rev. 5:8). The harp speaks of God's music and worship songs; the bowl speaks of intercession. Worship (harp) relates to the First Commandment to love the Lord with all our hearts. Intercession (bowl) speaks of the Second Commandment to love our neighbor as we labor for their salvation, deliverance and blessing through night and day prayer with fasting. The "Harp and Bowl" model of intercessory worship combines the two Great Commandments (which flow together to complete the Great Commission).

IHOP MISSIONS BASE MISSION STATEMENT: The IHOP Missions base is founded to call forth, train and mobilize intercessors (worshippers) and evangelists who operate in the forerunner spirit; to establish a 24 hour a day House of Prayer in Kansas City with those who fast and pray in the worshipping spirit of the Tabernacle of David and to send out teams to plant Houses of Prayer in the cities of the earth.
