The International House of Prayer

The International House of Prayer (IHOP) is a Christian organization based in Kansas City, Missouri, known for its continuous prayer and worship services. Founded in 1999 by Mike Bickle, IHOP emphasizes a contemplative approach to worship, prayer, and scripture study, operating a 24/7 prayer room where individuals seek spiritual connection and intercede for global issues. The organization combines aspects of charismatic Christianity with teachings on biblical prophecy and spiritual growth, and it has inspired similar prayer movements worldwide. IHOP also offers training programs for individuals pursuing careers in ministry and worship leadership.
