"A million intercessors! The implications are staggering. There is a growing army of intercessory missionaries who actively focus on world evangelization, county by county, people group by people group. They may not be on location as we are, but they are totally engaged nonetheless." – John Dawson, YWAM

(Kansas City, MO) – [Charisma News] It's an intercession and missions partnership that could help see the Gospel preached in every nation. International House of Prayer of Kansas City (IHOPKC) has joined with Youth With a Mission (YWAM) in a new commitment to cover global missions in prayer. (Photo Credit: Vimeo.com)

This partnership was birthed on Sept. 11 at the end of a week-long gathering of thousands of YWAM and IHOPKC staff that focused on several Great Commission thrusts, including ending Bible poverty (providing Scripture in every language) and a commitment to seeing every sphere of society impacted with the Gospel. 

Mike Bickle took the challenge from Loren Cunningham, co-founder of YWAM, to help raise up 1 million intercessors to cover their global missions in prayer.

"We love what the Lord has done through Loren and Darlene Cunningham and the whole YWAM family for over 50 years, and we are committing to cover them in intercession for the great cause of advancing the Kingdom in the nations and to call other prayer ministries throughout the world to join us," Bickle told me.

Throughout the weeklong gathering, only two miles from the YWAM base, IHOPKC interceded 24/7 for YWAM and its local and international staff. Now, IHOPKC is taking its commitment to pray for YWAM to a new level to see the Gospel of the Kingdom advanced in all nations and to call other prayer ministries throughout the world to join in.

Darlene Cunningham, YWAM co-founder with her husband Loren, responded with gratefulness, "The practice of intercession — hearing from God and praying His prayers — is part of the core DNA of YWAM from the beginning," Cunningham told me. "We need it, and I am so thankful that IHOPKC is joining us in the great endeavor."
