The International House of Prayer doesn't want you to fear them. They're just misunderstood (so they say). To call their neighbors' fears, the church will hold a pair of neighborhood meetings to try to calm the fears, according to The Kansas City Star.
Guess folks are a little freaked out because a) IHOP's prayer room is open 24/7 (been there; lots of people weeping and pacing) b) IHOP leader Mike Bickle has convinced 80 families to move to Grandview, Missouri -- America's eighth fastest dying town and c) because Bickle has prophetic visions of "100-foot long and 50-foot thick" snakes falling to the earth during the war between Satan and Michael the archangel.
If you're wondering when the forecast calls for raining giants snakes, stop by and ask Bickle at:

Justin Kendall, who are you and how does one get a hold of you?
also: go and read #11 on this site: Great search on how to look for and report church abuse
as also posted ripoffreport.com (type in John Paul Jackson) read all 5 of Tammy's complaints/laments, in first report, someone reports how to report church abuse=35 entities; hope it helps.
Joel, #4 comment (Google: type in, abused by ihop churches and or mike bickle and do your research; that would apply to any ministry, pastor etc.,). Always research a matter. Don't be a brainwashed christian that cannot think for yourself.

I can't believe you guys actually think IHOP is a cult. It's just a church. Just because they are praying for your city 24/7 doesn't make them a cult. And neither does teaching Christianity. I don't know if you are religious or not, but either way it's pretty intolerant to just sit back and call something a cult just because you don't understand it. You might say you've been to a couple meetings and have seen people "weeping and pacing around" but how is that cultic? If you aren't a Christian, or even a theist for that matter, i'd love to talk to you more about it. Anyway, I respect your right to free speech and just ask that you would open your minds a little bit to their worldview and understand what Christianity is and what they believe before calling them a cult.
God bless,

Well, that seems to be the main calling card for the officials of Grandview, that they are buying up empty properties. So, being a bit short-sighted they are because I, too, have more than a few questions about this group. It sounds a little too much like Heaven's Gate to suit me.
will there be free stuffed french toast? I dont know, but giant snakes raining from the sky doesn't sound as unreasonable as say, stuffing two of every species in the world on a boat in the desert. I was married to Mikes youngest sister, he isn't the anti christ some make him out to be. A little kooky yes. But at least they stimulate the real estate market in that area.
