  • Calling Family Partner!!!

    Dear Friends and Family,

     

                    Hi, this is Jeremiah Watkins.  I hope every one of you and your families are doing well!  If I could have the privilege of taking a few minutes of your time, I would like to share with you where I believe the Lord is leading me in this particular season under His care, and I would like to request of you, if you have a desire to do so, to prayerfully consider partnering with me in a ministry I believe the Lord is bringing me into in this season.

                    The ministry I am referring to is “The International House of Prayer”(Ihop-KC), which is located in Kansas City, MO.  In January 2009, I began a 3 month internship at Ihop-KC, in which I graduated from in April of 2009.  As I sat in class at the beginning of this internship, I began to have visions of the Temple of the Lord.  This spoke to me of His manifest presence.  He spoke to me of bringing that manifest presence to this generation.  He also talked to me of the unity that would be needed for us as the Temple of God to carry the manifest presence.  Together, each stone one upon another, making up the Temple of the living God(unity/community).

                    Let me explain briefly what Ihop-KC is about.  Ihop-KC is a missions base that is equipping and sending out missionaries as dedicated intercessors and evangelists who work to see revival within the church and a harvest among those searching for God.  At the heart of our missions base is the day and night prayer room engaging in 24/7 worship and prayer.  We are consumed with the mandate to train believers to love Jesus extravagantly as they go forth to preach the Word, heal the sick, serve the poor and plant houses of prayer around the earth.  Ihop-KC was established in 1999, and has been in constant prayer and worship in the prayer room since 1999.  So for ten years this ministry has been faithful to her calling, and has not allowed herself to get away from the vision and mandate that God has made clear to the leaders here at Ihop-KC in which to follow.  They have done this only by laying hold of God’s perseverance and faithfulness to press through the tough times, and by truly coming together in this ministry to do “team ministry.”

                    As things stand right now, more ground is being taken in this ministry as God is opening up more and more doors of influence in KC, this nation, and around the world.  Also, very recently, the president of YWAM(Youth With A Mission), Mark Anderson, has officially teamed up with the Ihop-KC team, and is now on the leadership board her in KC.  Also Ihop has Imbarked upon its most moving ministry yet. The Orphan Justice Center (Children at risk) The Orphan justice center is helping to work to adopt and restore orphaned children including undocumented refugee minors. Ihop is asking the Lord to help and care for 10,000 Children as a vital part of the Ihop-KC family . As this is unfolding, more and more doors are starting to open all over the place at a rapid pace.  As God brings more and more people together to serve in this ministry, the territory gets larger because God is bringing together the means.  We have different mercy and justice ministries and outreaches based here in Kansas City, and as we speak we are at a threshold of being released further in these outreach opportunities in our Kansas City area, in this nation, and all over the world.

                    I personally began to form a relationship with Ihop-KC back in 2004 when I was involved with a ministry called ARCO-Iris Ministries(Heidi Baker’s Ministry).  I’ve watched love walked out and lived in the presence of God for the past 5 years, from Africa to Israel, and I’m burning to see it begin to be walked out in America, radically and beyond reason and measure, and I say it’s time for us in America!!!  I believe that Abba is calling His lovers to begin to love and love extravagantly, so America and its faith can be turned around by extravagant love in the presence of the Holy Spirit!  Ihop-KC has been paving the way for this to come for 10 years running.

                    If you have the desire to do so, I would like to ask you and your family to prayerfully consider partnering with me in this ministry.  As missionaries at Ihop-KC, we raise our support to be released into this ministry.  I realize the economy isn’t the best right now, so I want to list a few ranges for everyone to have something to possibly pray about that fits their means.  I would like to request for your to prayerfully consider being a monthly family ministry partner anywhere from $10, $15, $20, $25, $50, $75, $100, $125, $150, or $200.  And if you are personally able to consider even higher, I would like to humbly request that you would ask the Holy Spirit what kind of figure He would like to give you.  If you pray about this and don’t know if you would be able to be a monthly family ministry partner, but you would like to sow into this ministry seasonally, that would be most appreciated also.  If you have the desire to pray for this request, I would encourage you to ask the Holy Spirit what He would have to say to you in regard to this particular request.  I hope none of you feel pressured by this request, I am just wanting to ask you to prayerfully consider what God would say to you about this ministry, if you feel this is something you would like to consider praying about.

                    What is really exciting about sowing into this ministry is that you can know that your family partnership and hard earned money is going right into the harvest of the Lord and to souls, because this ministry influences not only the Kansas City area, but also this nation, and all over the world.

                    Thank you so much for taking the time to read and consider this letter.  I will plan to contact you in regard to this request in about 1-2 weeks after you receive this through the mail.  I will put my personal contact information at the end of this letter, including my phone number and my email address, along with the Ihop-KC website.  If you have any questions at all about this ministry, and would like to contact me and ask me any questions, you are more than invited to do so, and I will gladly do my best to answer those questions the best I know how.  Thanks again for your time and consideration.  God bless you all,

     

    Sincerely,

     

    Jeremiah Watkins
