What is IHOP–Macon?

The International House of Prayer – Macon is a growing community of believers who are committed to God and each other in order to establish a 24/7 house of prayer in Macon, Georgia. We desire to live lives of prayer, fasting, studying the Word and pursuing the Great Commission. Intercession and worship are at the center of our ministry before God. The house of prayer is a place where believers can gather corporately in a solemn assembly to fast and pray in the spirit of the tabernacle of David. We are committed to training and equipping believers to grow in intimacy with God after the first commandment (Matt. 22:34-40) and to be forerunner messengers like John the Baptist preparing the way of the Lord. We invite you to visit us and join with us as we pursue Jesus with wholehearted love and devotion.

History of the Prayer Movement

Around 1000 BC, King David established a tabernacle in Jerusalem and set a precedent of night and day worship before the Lord. King David organized and paid 4,000 musicians and 288 singers to worship God night and day (1 Chr. 23:1–25:31). That 24/7 worship continued at various times throughout Israel and Judah’s history. Each time this order of worship was reintroduced, spiritual breakthrough, deliverance and military victory followed. Likewise, throughout the centuries, groups in Ireland, Germany, South Korea, and elsewhere across the globe have established day and night centers of prayer and worship. Following in this tradition, in 1999 the International House of Prayer started a prayer and worship meeting in Kansas City that has continued to this day. We find inspiration in Anna, the first evangelist and forerunner in the New Testament, who prayed and fasted for over sixty years before Jesus’ first coming (Luke 2:37), and likewise we desire to pursue Him in prayer and fasting even unto Jesus’ second coming. In 2007, the International House of Prayer – Macon was birthed and we have set our faces to see that God’s name is worshiped without ceasing in our city night and day even as it is in heaven around the throne of God (Rev. 4:8).
