There are places of prayer opening up across the nation. Known as the "International House of Prayer" - or IHOP - these locations serve to ignite and encourage the young people of this age to a life of fasting and praying until Jesus returns.

There is a location here for the metro area. IHOP Atlanta has just moved into their own building off of Collins Hill Rd. in Lawrenceville. They are open 24/7 for anyone to come and pray. They minister to the Lord with live praise and worship this whole time. Two-hour slots are carved out for different kinds of prayer: Devotional prayer (a time of reflection and Bible study in a worship setting), Apostolic prayer (a time for spiritual warfare and intercession, especially for those living in Atlanta and the area), and Worship in the Word. On Sunday nights they have an Encounter Service, which more resembles a "traditional" church service of praise & worship usually lasting more than an hour, then Bible teaching, then an altar call.

Here is their website.

The first IHOP opened in Kansas City. www.ihop.org
There are currently plans to open one in Dallas, plus other locations.

My question is this: have you ever heard of this prayer movement and if so, what are your thoughts?
