The ministry of Joshua Hawkins

Josh raises his own financial support as an intercessory missionary to the nations, and occasionally travels for speaking engagements and short-term missions trips. Josh is currently volunteering his time and energy at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, MO, USA.

Intercessory missionary

Josh's primary occupation and function is ministry to the Lord through worship and prayer. The worth of Jesus and the urgency of the coming day of the Lord is his motivation for a 50-hour work week involving 25 hours of worship and intercession for the church and 25 hours of service and outreach. Day by day, Josh stands before the Lord, ministering to Him through singing the Scriptures and petitioning Him to strengthen His church to be faithful to Him and to be bold witnesses of His return.

Bible teacher

Secondarily, Josh is also a teacher of the Scriptures with a particular emphasis on various subjects including the life and identity of Christ, the cross of Christ, the biblical worldview and the sojourning lifestyle, and the biblical theology of night and day worship. Josh believes that sound doctrine and the ministry of the Word by the Holy Spirit is critical to strengthen the faith of the church. Josh writes and speaks unto that end.

Musician

As another practical expression to his ministry to the Lord and to others, Josh currently serves on an IHOP-KC worship team as a keyboard player, playing 6 two-hour sets per week with the IHOP worship leader Marcus Meier. Marcus' team ministers to the Lord in the afternoons between the hours of noon and 6pm. Before playing with Marcus, Josh played with Justin Rizzo's worship team for over three and a half years. Prior to Justin's team, Josh played with Marcus Meier and Tim Reimherr’s worship team, also known as “Merchant Band” outside of IHOP. Marcus' current worship team schedule is as follows (all times US Central time):
