Who I am-
-My name is Kelly Marischler. I live in Kansas City, Mo. Where I am a full time intercessory missionary at the International House of Prayer (IHOP). As an intercessory missionary, my primary job is to pray. Mike Bickle, our director here at IHOP, explains it this way:
“We are all familiar with missionaries who focus on preaching or mercy deeds (providing food, medical care, etc.). The Lord is calling forth a new type of missionary that is essential to completing the Great Commission. What is an intercessory missionary? An intercessory missionary’s primary focus is changing the spiritual atmosphere over cities through ‘intercessory worship’ (Psalm 149). This ministry provides one of the Scriptural requirements for God to release the fullness of revival. God will not move in fullness apart from Night and Day prayer (including regular times of fasting). The Scripture makes this abundantly clear and history proves this without doubt. Also, Scripture declares that God will orchestrate a mighty ‘intercessory worship’ movement covering the earth in the generation the Lord returns.”
I am also a part of the Media Apprenticeship, where I spend 30 hours per week in the prayer room serving as a Section Broadcast Manager, 10 hours per week working on media projects, and 12 hours per week in the prayer room for personal prayer. There are about 84 of us responsible for filming the Prayer Room, taping EGS and conferences, and occasional seminars.
Why I am at IHOP?
I am here because I believe that a life of prayer and worship is the only thing that can bring us to a place of understanding God’s heart. I know God has given me this time in a community devoted to His Name, to mature and develop core values that are critical to my personal walk, the structure of my family, and my future as an eternal being.

What do the camera operators do with what they film?
It is shown 24 hours a day on a webstream and also at different times on the GOD TV channel.
The webstream can be found @ http://theprayerroom.tv/
Thanks. It’s just that i had never heard of such a thing before.
I’ve just recently found you on GOD TV I do a lot of my computer and administrative at late night or early morning. The music is so relaxing and thought provoking.
I will now become a regular viewer. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for what you are doing
