IHOPU Gift Matching Opportunity
Dear Friends,
Envision a place where messengers of the gospel are trained in solid biblical truth, nurtured in the place of prayer, and sent forth believing and walking in the power of the gospel to transform lives and cultures. Imagine a biblical education free from the encumbrance of debt, affordable to young adults, with instructors who are mentors modeling a life of prayer and godly service.
Student Awakening
We believe International House of Prayer University (IHOPU) is such a place. For ten years, thousands of students have been trained and equipped as messengers in the areas of ministry, music, and media. As we enter 2010, we are thankful for the Lord’s goodness and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our midst. The student awakening at IHOPU, which began on November 11, 2009, has brought healing and renewal to our missions base and to thousands across America and the rest of the world.
Growth of IHOPU
As a result of this move of the Spirit, many prospective students are applying for admission to IHOPU. Our Bible school will certainly grow more rapidly than anticipated this year. We expect to receive as many as 300 new students (a growth of over 50 percent) into our ministry, music, and media schools. We have outgrown our present facility and are in need of larger classrooms, community facilities, and offices.
New IHOPU Campus
Miraculously, a new campus property that can accommodate this growth has been acquired through a generous donation. Grandview Plaza is debt-free and will soon become the new home of IHOPU. Our only remaining need is for renovation costs, and a donor has stepped forward who will match, dollar for dollar, all funds raised for renovations up to $1.5 million.
Matching Grant
We invite you to partner with us in these urgently needed renovations by sending a donation that will have double the impact! March 31 is the last day for gifts to this project to be part of the matching opportunity, so please respond quickly to see your gift multiply.
Our accelerated current and projected growth has created the need to speed up the renovation and development of the new IHOPU campus. In order to complete the facility in time for classes in August we need to begin construction immediately and move swiftly.
We ask you to prayerfully consider helping us at this time as we follow the Lord.
With passion for Jesus,
In Christ
