On May 7, 1999, the Kansas City International House of Prayer (IHOPKC) was founded by Mike Bickle and 20 full-time “intercessory missionaries”. They began to cry out to God in prayer and worship 13 hours a day. Two months later the Forerunner School of Prayer began. It then became the University of the International House of Prayer.

A  House of Prayer International is a mission organization that is committed to praying for the release of the fullness of God's power and purposes as we reach the lost, heal the sick, feed the poor, do disciples and impact every sphere of society. Our vision is to work in communion with the body of Christ and engage in the Great Commission, while  we seek to walk within the first two commandments: love God and neighbor._cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_
