Onething conference

Onething conference is an annual Christian conference put on by the International House of Prayer (IHOPKC) every December at the Bartle Hall Convention Center in Kansas City, MO.[1] Major media outlets have reported that the International House of Prayer is affiliated[2] with the controversial New Apostolic Reformation movement, which has as its central tenet the "five-fold ministry" teaching that present-day apostles and prophets hold governing offices in the church and possess similar authority and functions to Christ's original apostles and the Old Testament prophets.[3] Though the International House of Prayer has not used the term "New Apostolic Reformation" to describe their teachings, nevertheless they promote the present-day governing offices of apostles and prophets—the central teaching of the New Apostolic Reformation—including promotion of this teaching by IHOP founder, Mike Bickle.[4]

Themes

The conference sermons focus on prayer, evangelism, and Christian eschatology,[5][6] preceded by long times of worship. The conference was initially inspired when Paul Cain, a former associate of International House of Prayer leadership, had a spiritual experience in which he saw thousands of young people gathering in Kansas City.[7] In addition to theological instruction, the speakers often deliver inspirational messages on themes such as living a life without regrets.[8] The sessions often include long periods of prayer for the United States, sometimes lasting until midnight.[7] A particular emphasis is given to prayer for colleges and college students.[9] The attendees numbered over 25,000 in 2010.[5] Most attendees are young adults.[10] More recent, Matt Redman has agreed to lead worship in Onething 2013.

Speakers

Speakers and worship leaders have included:

Live Albums

International House of Prayer has published five Onething Conference Albums[13] which records the live worship music written by IHOPKC worship leaders. For example, Cory Asbury, Laura Hackett Park, Matt Gilman, Misty Edwards, Jon Thurlow, and more.
