Forerunner Evangelism
[God] . . . gave some to be . . . evangelists.” Ephesians 4:11
God is gathering evangelists and those who long to be witnesses for Jesus to the International House of Prayer of Kansas City. We are dedicated to nurturing, training, and sending these young men and women into the harvest fields of the world. Our strategies include:
- Creating a “greenhouse” for aspiring evangelists
- Participating in the Kansas City Evangelist Fellowship
- In-depth Bible classes taught by evangelists and IHOP–KC teachers
- Mentoring relationships and rich fellowship with seasoned evangelists
- Full participation in the prayer and fasting lifestyle of IHOP–KC
- Multiple outreach opportunities every week
Finally, there is a place that understands that evangelists are different.
Often evangelists do not feel understood or appreciated in their local church. We intend to surround you with fellow evangelists. Your heart for the lost will not go unappreciated. Together, we will grow in Christ and hone our skills as evangelists.
Our speakers are evangelists.
Bible colleges often have non-evangelists instructing on the subject of evangelism. In contrast with this practice, instructors in the Forerunner Evangelism department at IHOP–KC are seasoned evangelists whose calling, anointing, and experiences in evangelism impact the student. According to Ephesians 4, instruction on evangelism is reserved for evangelists. Likewise, Genesis 1 illustrates the principle that “like begets like.”
We will teach you about prayer and fasting.
Intercession and fasting are missing components in the training and lifestyle of most Christians in America, and it is no different for most evangelists. IHOP–KC challenges this non-biblical model. If you have a vision to intercede for lost souls, then IHOP–KC is a place you should consider. Like the apostles of old, “we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the Word,” (Acts 6:4).
