Training Prophetic Messengers
To Prepare a People

School of Messengers (SOM) is an eight-month intensive from IHOPKC’s Center for Biblical End-Time Studies (CBETS) designed to equip you to grow in biblical prophetic understanding and share the gospel and its end-time message in practical ways. Learn how to apply the knowledge gained about the end-time prophetic landscape and the unprecedented dynamics surrounding Jesus’ second coming and share it effectively with others in your churches, youth, and campus ministries, pastoring, disciple-making, marketplace, and day-to-day life.

School of Messengers consists of eight three-day deep-dive intensives per year. In this once-a-month format, there will be interactive engagement with Mike Bickle, Stuart Greaves, David Sliker, and special guest speakers from various ministries. The strong focus of each three-day intensive will be practical equipping to get you ready for real, personal, face-to-face, high-contact conversations about the gospel and end-time subjects. We want you to be prepared not only for the platforms of the earth but also for the coffee tables of the nations.

SOM is for believers who sense a call to be prophetic messengers as voices and light to others. Whether you are a stay-at-home mom, marketplace leader, student, teacher, or pastor, the Spirit is calling believers from all walks and stages of life as voices of wisdom and comfort by helping others prepare for what is coming: Jesus’ end-time plan and purposes.

School of Messengers aims to create a vibrant community and mentoring for attendees. On-site there will be times of sharing meals, interaction, and dialogue around end-time prophetic themes. There is also an option to join online. To augment our monthly time together, registrants will also receive additional touchpoints and resources.

October Intensive

The rise of Babylon is one of the main events on the prophetic horizon for the church in the nations. The prophetic church must be equipped to understand the seducing elements associated with this statement and know how to navigate the storm that lies ahead. The Bible describes a time of seduction, wealth, religious confusion and persecution that will be a season of global testing. Yet the church will emerge prepared, with power, holiness and prophetic authority. Join Mike Bickle, Stuart Greaves, David Sliker, and special guest Joel Richardson October 19-21 for the first of our two part series
