The Onething conference was 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] The conference focused on prayer, evangelism, worship and Christian eschatology.[2][3] In addition to theological instruction, the speakers often deliver inspirational messages on themes such as living a life without regrets.[4] The sessions often include long periods of prayer for the United States, sometimes lasting until midnight.[5] A particular emphasis is given to prayer for colleges and college students.[6] The last conference was held during the last week of 2018, and the conference has been placed on indefinite hold for the near future.[7]
History[edit]
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.[5] The attendees numbered over 25,000 in 2010.[2] Most attendees are young adults.[8]
