Twenty years ago, on a crisp day in the fall of 1999, a small, ragtag, band of worshipers and intercessors gave themselves to a ridiculous and beautiful dream.
Hour by hour, day after day, sometimes in an empty room, men and women, young and old, all races, began to gather to a vision as simple in its essence as it was extraordinary in its scope: unceasing prayer with worship. “We will give everything!” they said, “Even every hour of life itself—day and night!—to declare the supreme worth of Jesus to a jaded and unbelieving generation.”
It was crazy, it was lavish, it was foolish. And it was totally worth it. In the grace of God, this mission has spread across nations and continents, and will never, ever change until Jesus returns.

Forerunner Church’s foundational commitment is to be the local church expression of the International House of Prayer of Kansas City (IHOPKC).
Some give themselves to the prayer missionary lifestyle and become staff. Some give finances, prayer support, and love. Every part is needed. We encourage you to partner with us as one great company contending for the full manifestation of the glory of Jesus at the culmination of the age.
We have a number of exciting developments, innovations, changes, and improvements—some small, some huge. Our new home page is just a taste of what we'll roll out, in stages, over the next few months. Suffice to say: 2020 is going to be a great year. Stay tuned for more details.
We have many great ways for you to connect—short term or long term—or even to explore joining our staff as an intercessory missionary.
