Ikhtisar

The International House of Prayer of Kansas City (IHOPKC) was founded by Mike Bickle. The organization started in a small building on Grandview Road in Kansas City, Missouri, as a prayer room dedicated to worshiping Jesus day and night. Since then, IHOPKC has grown and spread across several different locations throughout South Kansas City and Grandview, Missouri. As of November 2010, the church has more than 1,000 staff and a student body of 1,000.

IHOPKC is famous for its daily prayer meetings based on the "harp and bowl" worship model held 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year since September 19, 1999. While prayer meetings are the primary services of IHOPKC, mission organizations have also established many different ministries serving his community. These prayer meetings, which are streamed live on the internet and through GOD TV, alternate regularly between music and prayer throughout the day and night.

IHOPKC staff regularly teaches themes that include prayer, worship, the Great Command, the Great Commission, eschatology, understanding God's spiritual purpose for Israel, spiritual gifts, and other charismatic themes.

International House of Prayer University

The International House of Prayer University is an unaccredited Bible college with campuses in Grandview, Missouri. In 2010, there were 1,000 full-time students enrolled. The education process is centered on prayer.

This program includes service training programs, music academies, media schools, missionary training, and others.

The program was founded in 2000 as the Forerunner School of Prayer. In 2008, the institute was renamed International House of Prayer University after the school was certified by the state to receive international students. However, it's still not accredited.

In 2010 the school invested $ 6 million to renovate part of the mall at Grandview to be used as a new campus.

The school's president is Allen Hood, followed by Wes Hall, who follows the call to the Gospel Forum Academy in Stuttgart, Germany in 2016.

Controversy

Mike Bickle had previously been involved in what others referred to as the "Kansas City prophet movement," and was criticized by Ernie Gruen in the famous controversy after John Wimber, the leader of the Vineyard Church extended supervision to Mike Bickle and his later Kansas City Fellowship joins AVC and renames it to Metro Vineyard Fellowsip. Two people said to be part of "Kansas City Prophets," Bob Jones and Paul Cain, leave the ministry due to professional and sexual scandals.

IHOPKC has been repeatedly accused as a worshiper by the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry and other apologetics groups as well as many former members of the organization.

The documentary document 2013 God Loves Uganda shows that North American evangelicals in general, and IHOPKC in particular, are responsible for the Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bill. IHOPKC has stated that it is not connected to the bill and is contrary to the law.

When IHOPKC moved to a new location in an old shopping center on the Lake Teras area in Kansas City in 2002, many members of the local community voiced suspicions about the ministry. IHOPKC seeks to dispel their fears in a series of community meetings. IHOPKC has been credited, however, by helping the local economy by bringing a large number of visitors to the area.

On September 14, 2010, IHOP (International House of Pancakes) announced that they are suing the International House of Prayer for dilution and trademark infringement. The lawsuit was dropped on December 21, 2010, with the dispute settled out of court.

On October 30, 2012, former IHOPKC official Bethany Leidlein Deaton was found dead in a suicide case. A few days later, an IHOPU student, Micah Moore, came to Grandview police and was later accused of murdering Bethany Deaton. In a statement to police, Moore stated that he was part of a religious group with Bethany and her husband, Tyler Deaton. Moore said that IHOPU group leader and graduate Tyler Deaton ordered his wife's murder to prevent him from disclosing sexual violence in the group. While the IHOPKC material and website mentioned Tyler Deaton as the division coordinator for the IHOPKC friendship group up to five days after Bethany's death, IHOPKC officials said that the Tyler Deaton group was not connected to IHOPKC. Melanie Morgan, one of Moore's lawyers, said in early December 2012: "The facts show Bethany Deaton's death is an unfortunate suicide and Micah Moore has nothing to do with the suicide." On October 31, 2014, Jackson County, Missouri attorney warded off murder charges against Micah Moore.
