About Fire in the Night
The Holy Spirit is raising up a generation who love God with all their hearts, minister in the power of the Holy Spirit, and impact others. It is not enough to simply hear the call. The “yes” in the heart must be combined with real preparation for this great journey—through practical instruction, personal encounter, and spiritual impartation.

Stories We Love
-
My favorite part of Fire in the Night was the time I spent in the prayer room. I really encountered Jesus in a life-altering way that put many scattered pieces of my theology, personal experience, and life vision together. I now experience a nearness to God I knew to be possible but had no idea how to sustain.

An internship joined to the NightWatch
Fire in the Night is an internship joined to the NightWatch, the prayer watch of a company of people who pray and worship the Lord from midnight to 6am in our Global Prayer Room. We believe that the night belongs to the Lord. Fire in the Night interns cry out in prayer for justice and revival to break in on the earth. Our interns are involved in building a fiery community, outreaches to the lost, and ministry to others in the power of the Holy Spirit. While each internship has a distinctive age limit, length, and schedule, they all share the same central training components.
OUR VISION
Preparing believers of all ages as intercessors, messengers, singers, and musicians for the growing prayer and missions movement throughout the earth.

Meet the Directors
“We met at IHOPKC. We came separately out of a desire to spend a season, set apart, to seek the Lord in a unique and focused way. Our time with Fire In the Night internship has refreshed us and introduced us to a lifestyle of prayer and mission that we want to spend the rest of our lives doing. We want interns to come and spend a season in the Nightwatch, as we behold and bless the Lord together. We want interns to grow confident in Gods love, confident in prayer. We want interns to grow in their value for corporate prayer and help us build a 24/7 house of prayer.” –Jason & Jenna

Track 1 of FITN is an introduction to cultivating a lifestyle of prayer and growing in the knowledge of God. Track 2 continues these themes with the added component of growing in the understanding of God’s plans and purposes as seen in His Word.

Switching to the Nightwatch schedule varies individuals. We are mindful of the challenges of switching to the Nightwatch. We have leaders that have done the Nightwatch for 20+ years and are a resource to help interns walk through different challenges that keeping this schedule may bring.

Unfortunately, we do not provide child care in FITN. If you need childcare, Simeon and Intro both have age-appropriate children’s tracks that run simultaneously with the program and would be a better fit.
