Laboring for every nation to hear the love of Christ
God raises up kings and tears them down (Dan 2:21) and He turns the hearts of kings in whatever direction he wants like channel of waters (Prov 21:1). Jesus is involved in the leaders of nations and uses them for His will. The Bible also tells us to pray for those in authority. And who […]
Many have asked us how IHOPKC is responding to the multiple crises facing our nation. We continue praying without ceasing for revival, for mercy, for the black community, for healing signs and wonders, and for the church to be conformed to the image of Christ, and for Jesus to be glorified in all things. There […]
Over a year ago we shared Hope City’s desire to move a few blocks away into an old school to relieve the constraints of our current facility becoming too small. Unfortunately, we have had a huge obstacle to get Askew School rezoned for housing. Since one of our ministries is housing drug addicts, we are […]
Two topics we pray for in our Anna Club prayer meeting are for the staff at the nursing home and for our friends and family. We believe that as we pray, our hearts are tenderized to feel God’s love for what we pray for. God will also use our prayers to reveal things in our […]
Bethany was one of my roommates when I did the Fire in the Night internship, and she moved in as my roommate once again in mid-January.

Monday Feb. 8th, I departed for Minnesota and Wisconsin for a week of vacation and ministry time with friends and family. At 5:55pm, I spun off into a ditch due to ice on the roadways near Story City, IA. Towing was prohibited in the area because of the weather, so the state trooper brought me […]
Over one full year ago, I was saying good-bye to friends, to family, to Eau Claire, WI, and to Duluth, MN for what I thought would be 6-months. As I came down to participate in the Fire in the Night internship, God apprehended my heart to move here and serve as a missionary full-time in […]
On November 11th, at 9:00 in the morning, the Holy Spirit showed up in an unusual way to an IHOPU class (the university here at IHOP). Students were delivered from self-hatred, fear, past wounds, and many were healed physically. The initial prayer meeting from this class lasted over 15 hours. I would not call it […]
I feel the time of initial transition of moving here and joining staff is coming to a close. On Nov. 2, I finally get to move into my permanent house, and I continue to work hard laboring in prayer and service. So, what exactly am I doing? Apart from my 24 hours in the prayer […]
I have been in Kansas City for three weeks now and so much is changing even from day to day. Seeing how there are no guarantees in this temporary world has brought me to a place where God has been challenging me and refining my heart. He has been asking me if I truly trust […]
