On September 19, 1999, a prayer meeting began which continues to this day; from dawn to dusk and through the watches of the night, prayer and worship has continued twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
The IHOP Missions Base is committed to Prayer (intercession, worship, healing, prophesying), fasting (covering 365 days a year), the Great Commission (proclaiming Jesus to all nations), and the Forerunner Spirit (preparing the Church as a Bride for the unique dynamics of the End Times). Our work includes equipping and sending thousands of missionaries as dedicated intercessors and evangelists working to see revival within the Church and a harvest among the lost. We are consumed with the mandate to train believers to love Jesus and others wholeheartedly as they go forth preaching the Word, healing the sick, serving the poor, and planting houses of prayer across the earth. At the heart of our Missions Base is a prayer furnace engaging in continuous 24/7 prayer with worship.The prayer room is the heartbeat—the essence and the origin—of all that goes on at the IHOP Missions Base. Scripture teaches that night and day prayer is crucial if a city is to witness the fullness of revival (Luke 18:1–7). We are offering Jesus unremitting adoration and contending for the manifestation of justice in every realm of life.
Mary of Bethany extravagantly worshiped Jesus by pouring her alabaster flask of costly perfume onto His body. For this, the disciples criticized her; yet Jesus commended her. It is our desire to worship Jesus in this way, pouring out our lives before Him. We long for IHOP to be a place of encounter—a place for personal transformation, fresh revelation, and training in the Word; a place where hearts are set free and bodies are healed; a place where believers are unified and fresh direction is received; a place where we can gather to intercede for the in-breaking of revival.
