Set Apart a Time to Encounter God
Interns at the IHOPKC spend a focused season of their lives worshiping Jesus, studying the Word, engaging in works of justice, ministering in the power of the Holy Spirit, and contending for the full release of the Lord’s kingdom purposes. When the people of God know they were created to love Him and be loved by Him, their hearts soar with confidence in His abundant grace.

Our Five Internships
Internships are three to six months long and accommodate all seasons of life. The purpose of the internships is to further prepare individuals of all ages for a life of impact, prayer, and intimacy with Jesus.
What will I learn?
Your Season in Kansas City
While each internship has a distinctive age range and schedule, they all share the same central training components: corporate prayer meetings, classroom instruction, practical ministry experience and relationship-building. Biblical teaching in all of the internships focuses on intimacy with Jesus, ministry in the power of the Holy Spirit, the Return of Jesus and cultivating a lifestyle of prayer.
What happens after?
Filled Up to Be Poured Out
Upon successful completion of an internship (or two three-month tracks), some will stay and apply to join our staff. Many will continue training in our ministry, music, and media schools at IHOPU. Still others will return home strengthened in their spiritual life to continue with further study, pursue a career in the marketplace, or be a full-time mom, and more.
Encounter Jesus in Prayer and Worship
Come experience something historic: over twenty years of unceasing prayer and worship, contending for a breakthrough and more of the presence of God in our hearts, our city, and nation.
Experience Powerful Teaching and Messaging
From intimacy with Jesus to His beauty and majesty, to the end-time drama of His glorious return, our messaging is designed to fuel prayer and passionate pursuit.
Express the Love of Jesus and the Power of His Spirit
Come spend a season growing in the gifts and the work of the Holy Spirit in dynamic ministry and service as we experience the dynamic relationship between prayer and mission together.
Engage in Preparation of the Heart for Jesus' Unfolding Plans
Our team believes that an awakened, transformed heart is poised and more able to engage with what the Lord is doing across the earth. We take your season here seriously because we take the future seriously.
Engage in Passionate Pursuit with Passionate People
Come discover potential lifelong friendships with like-minded believers who see the first commandment as non-negotiable and share a common ache to lay hold of a heart that burns for Jesus.
Enjoy a Season to "Reset" Your Heart and Rediscover Jesus
Consider joining our family for a season to discover what’s possible when we give an extended season to prayer, scripture, and the power of the Holy Spirit to work in our life and our hearts.

Fire in the Night is the internship joined to the NightWatch, the faithful musicians and intercessors who cover the hours of midnight to 6am in the prayer room. We believe that the night belongs to the Lord. While most people are sleeping and while many deeds of darkness are committed, Fire in the Night interns cry out in prayer for justice and revival to break in on the earth, and are involved in outreaches and ministering to others in the power of the Holy Spirit.
