Will You Consider Partnering With Us

We love being at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City. It's been an adventure for our entire family, an adventure of faith, hope, and much more.

This video explains IHOP and the vision for prayer. Never before has there been a need for worldwide revival like now. Our hearts are not only to pray but to see young men and women raised up in the knowledge of God's Word and being equipped in it. That includes our own 7 kids.

Things we love about IHOP-
  • Prayer set to music. The prayer room has 12 - 2 hour prayer meetings every day. That's right, it never stops. The worship goes on 24/7 at IHOP and it has since 1999.
  • We also enjoy the relationship IHOP has with so many other ministries including YWAM. Many ministries have linked arms with IHOP for prayer and training.
  • Our children are developing a tender heart for other Nations.
  • They are also developing their musical and artistic skills, not for entertainment reasons, but for reasons bigger than we are know.

We have designated times when we serve in the prayer room but at home the webstream is running much of the time and no one ever complains. That's a testimony in itself. We feel privileged and honored to be a part of this ministry for such a time as this.


We are responsible for raising our own funds as Intercessory Missionaries at IHOP-KC. Not only do we have a large monthly budget to fulfill the needs of a large family. We have some auto and housing repairs that are requiring attention.





  • Our upstairs main bathroom has mold in the walls and grows an occasional mushroom. Not a pretty sight. When we first moved in we replaced this same spot of sheet rock and trim. A year later it has returned. There must be a deeper problem which means it needs to be gutted and redone....estimated cost of over $3,000.
  • The garage doors are both broken and need to be replaced, tracks and all....estimated cost of $1,200.
  • Our '97 Taurus has a cracked head gasket....estimated repairs are way more than the car is worth. Replacement vehicle.....between $10,000-$15,000.


  • Due to years of settling there is a negative grade in the backyard causing a cracked wall in the basement. We aren't sure of everything that would need to be done to correct this but for sure the rotted deck would need to come off, some earth moved to make a positive grade, then a new deck built. We 're not sure how bad the wall is in the basement, an expert will need to look at it.

If you would be interested in helping us with any of these special needs or partnering with us on a regular basis we would love to hear from you. Please contact us by email for more details or just use the Paypal button on our blog.
