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. John the Baptist called himself a “friend of the Bridegroom” because he prepared the way for Jesus’ first coming. We are believing the Lord to raise up many such messengers in advance of Jesus’ second coming. It’s time to permanently close the doors at IHOPKC,” Tchividjian said in a statement via the X account of his law firm, BozLaw P.A. Evangelist Matt Brown, who was among the many who have tuned into IHOP’s prayer livestream, said that he was sickened by the claims against Bickle and his partial confession.

Thank you for 20 years of shifting history, filling the skies, sweeping the skies, so that the whole world could see Christ. Partner with Christ’s passion to release His power through worship and intercession. The prayer room was moved from the trailer on Grandview Road into the remodeled Red Bridge Center, bringing a much-needed addition of space and amenities. The new prayer room was dedicated on March 7, 2003, and continues today as the Global Prayer Room (GPR). 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.
We will give our lives to . . .
This is your hour to take your place, engage in your calling, and shape history through prayer and fasting. “As we seek to create a “bettered” version of IHOPKC, we may close some windows of our mission while opening others, but once again, IHOPKC is NOT closing,” IHOPKC’s attorney said. As IHOPKC works to heal, it’s leaders say they are committed to continue its calling. International House of Prayer KC, also known as IHOP, said the organization plans to reorganize it’s operations. They said Bickle, who has not responded publicly to the recent reports, denied all allegations. Eric made international headlines as a result of his wrongful imprisonment in 2006.

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. “I don’t have any idea how to explain how someone who was so dedicated to a prayer movement can secretly manipulate and abuse those under their ministry care. It’s absolutely wrong and evil,” said Brown, founder of the ministry Think Eternity. The scandal has frustrated former IHOPKC members who say they experienced an unhealthy culture at the ministry and who are praying for greater transparency and accountability.
Immersive Online Experience
Thus, we are developing many new outreach ministries that will continue 24/7 alongside our 24/7 prayer and worship. But, the group of demonstrators, including former community members and staff members, say IHOPKC is not doing enough to investigate the claims of three former ministry leaders, who penned a letter last month claiming Bickle committed sexual abuse. Bickle is currently on leave from the ministry as the allegations are under investigation by an attorney hired by the executive leadership team. Bennett explained in the leaked recording that while IHOPKC has been looking at different ways to navigate the sexual abuse scandal, they have found no way around the liability the organization has been exposed to as a result of the allegations of the ministry’s mishandling of the abuse allegations.

Whether in the classroom, in the prayer room, or in practical expressions of ministry, you will be learning together with others who share your heart. “Words are insufficient to communicate the pain and anguish many have born in this and prior seasons as a result of Mike Bickle’s wrongdoings. Our hope and prayer is that victims in our community, and in any community, find solace and healing through the mercy of Christ,” IHOPKC’s Leadership Team said in a statement posted on social media in February. In February, IHOPKC’s Leadership Team released a statement revealing additional information into the investigation and the claims surrounding Bickle.
Because your life matters more than you know.
He called on his followers to pray for the situation at IHOPKC, for the future of the prayer movement, and for truth and repentance. Lou Engle, the founder of TheCall prayer ministry, had spent five years at IHOPKC and began Justice House of Prayer in DC. He released a statement on Tuesday saying he believes the advocates and “Jane Doe,” that he is praying for a full confession from Bickle, and wants to see a mutually agreed-upon independent investigation. Woods told the Kansas City Star that she met Bickle at church, and their relationship grew from friendly mentorship and spiritual encouragement to expressing feelings for one another.
A History of the Prayer Movement
In recent weeks, charismatic leaders who have been close to the movement have also spoken up to address the scandal. Some former IHOPKC members have said the church was coercive and cult-like; the church has stated that it’s elder-led, has checks in place for leaders, and is committed to safety against sexual, emotional, physical, and spiritual abuse. Staff at IHOPKC number around 2,000, all full-time missionaries who raise their own support, according to the ministry website. During the announcement from IHOPKC leadership, some called for more transparency, saying “there is more to be shared,” The Kansas City Star reported. At IHOPKC, Bickle emphasizes fasting, prophesy, the spiritual realm, and the end times.
Partnership with Every Home for Christ
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. They include times when various believers saw the Lord, heard God’s audible voice, saw an angel, or had prophetic dreams that were dramatically confirmed. Our vision is to prepare thousands of full-time intercessory missionaries who, like John the Baptist, live a lifestyle of discipline and devotion to God, whose lives and voices cry out, “Prepare the way of the Lord!
When the two first met, Bob Jones told Mike Bickle that the Lord would use him to pastor a young adult movement of singers and musicians who would pray for Israel and have strong ties to Asia. Mike initially didn’t believe Bob, but two weeks later it was confirmed to him that Bob, in fact, had heard from the Lord. Bob, who passed away in 2014, played a pivotal role in encouraging Mike during the early years of the movement and was a great friend to IHOPKC. In the wake of additional allegations against its founder Mike Bickle, the International House of Prayer Kansas City (IHOPKC) cut off the livestream feed for the 24-7 prayer room that has defined its movement. “We believe that Mike Bickle sexually abused and manipulated Jane Doe and Tammy Woods, who was a minor at the time. His predatory and abusive actions are sick and violate the Word of God, the marriage covenant, and holiness; we condemn them in their entirety,” the February statement said.
They’ve since grown to hosting multiple camps each summer and have seen camps established across the US and internationally in places like Poland. A few of the children who attended that first camp in 2002 are part of our staff today as worship leaders, singers, and musicians. Our record label, Forerunner Music, was founded in 2001 by Nick Syrett, with the studio opening on the Shiloh property in spring 2001. IHOPKC worship leaders, singers, and musicians from the prayer room, including Jon Thurlow, Misty Edwards, Jaye Thomas, and Laura Hackett Park, have been featured on around 150 albums from Forerunner Music.
President Biden and other world leaders were not invited to attend, but representatives of his administration will be present, Ramanathan said. State and local leaders will gather at the summit from May 15 to 17 to discuss the effects of rising temperatures in their communities, with the goal of broadening the conversation from combating climate change to include strategies to adapt to the reality of a warming planet. Gov. Gavin Newsom is taking his climate change advocacy overseas next month to the epicenter of Catholicism, where he was invited to speak at a summit of mayors and governors hosted by Pope Francis at the Vatican. While IHOPU is the main part of your experience as an on-campus student, we believe that the friendships formed in the classroom can be strengthened outside of it.
As an IHOPU student, your weekly schedule includes joining us in the Global Prayer Room to participate in a prayer meeting that has continued night and day since 1999. Our campus also houses the All Nations Prayer Room where you can engage with interactive prayer meetings in multiple languages. These prayer meetings are a central element of your learning experience where you get to talk to God about the things you’re studying, strengthen friendships as you engage in intercession together, and allow Jesus to encounter you with His love and beauty. Around 1000 BC, King David established a tabernacle in Jerusalem and set a precedent of night and day worship before the Lord that continued at various times throughout Israel and Judah’s history. Each time this order of worship was reintroduced, spiritual breakthrough, deliverance and military victory followed. Likewise, throughout the centuries, groups in Ireland, Germany, South Korea, and elsewhere across the globe have established day and night centers of prayer and worship.
