What is the International House of Prayer Missions Base?

It is an outreach ministry based on worship with intercession which has continued nonstop (24 hours a day) since September 19, 1999. The IHOP–KC staff views themselves as “intercessory missionaries” because they do the work of outreach from a place of 24/7 prayer with worship.
