Jonathan & Theresa Baldwin
Laboring for every nation to hear the love of Christ
It’s hard to believe it’s been over a decade that I (Theresa) taught children’s ministry in any official teaching capacity! It was my life for so many years. Seeing the surmounting pressures and troubles in our world, I feel burdened more than ever to gain clarity and understanding in God’s Word, and to be able […]
We just finished a 21-day fast praying for Israel. Some of you joined in and wonder what’s next. Some of you feel like you ‘missed out’ by not joining and wonder if it’s too late. Some of you wonder if your kids will walk with God and hear His voice. Some of you may have […]
When I first moved to Kansas City I (Theresa) was sort of scared of having children. In some ways I didn’t want children because I had it in my head that it would hinder me from being all out radical for Jesus. Now I see that one of the most radical things I can do […]
This season has been good for us as our work has become a family ministry on a whole new level! Even though small children bring a unique set of challenges, it is good to involve the kids more. God has reminded us, “the prayer room isn’t just for you, but for them too!” This past […]
I (Theresa) first met Brittney a few years ago. We were both pregnant at the time she came to do our trade off program, TOP, at Hope City. Due to unstable housing, drug abuse, and domestic violence her children were in the care of the state. As she started working with an advocate to help […]
Lately, Jeremiah has enjoyed listening to a particular worship song, “Here’s My Heart” by David Crowder. He can’t get enough of it. We will put it on our TV in the living room and when it is over he often cries until we restart it. Some kids like watching cartoons but at this point those […]
In reality, there is very little that is more important then seeing the next generation take the torch from us and continue the work of the Gospel. Over the past few months, we have helped children lead prayer and worship meetings. In June, I (Jonathan) coached a team of kids in IHOPKC’s summer music camp. […]
I had so much fun this past week! Kids from all over the nation came to be trained in the Worship Track of our Children’s Camp. I had a group of about thirteen kids that I taught how to pray, sing, and play their instruments in our “Harp & Bowl” model of worship (combining worship […]
Little Richy Clark was given a death sentence from doctors but, miraculously, he went from death to life! Richy and Jessica Clark’s son’s condition degenerated to near death. They had given up hope. However, the International House of Prayer and Children’s Equipping Center family rallied around them, believing God could restore little Richy’s life. For […]
25,000 Encounter Jesus & His Power January 2013 Last month, 25,000 were impacted at our annual Onething Young Adult’s Conference. Extended times of worship put the attendes face to face with Jesus as they experienced His presence. They heard messages about the magnificence of Jesus, the power of intercession to change history, and hunger for […]
