Mission Partners

I was born in Los Angeles, California and grew up there and went to El Camino Junior College transferred to Wheaton College and finished my Bachelor’s in Business. I joined Youth with a Mission (YWAM) and moved to Afghanistan as a volunteer worker for an eye hospital. I worked for five years full-time and four years part-time working as an administrator at that eye hospital helping to the Afghani people.

In 1997, I went on a two week visit into Iran to share about the love of Jesus. My friend and I were arrested on false charges which eventually led to having two death sentences on my life. I was miraculously released after 9 weeks in the prison. I’ve written a book, Imprisoned in Iran, which shares the details of God’s miracle during this part of my life.

In 1998, I moved to Southern Colorado to join a YWAM training center and began working, training, and discipling young people. While I was in Colorado, me and a friend wrote a second book, A Beautiful Way, about walking with Jesus, which openly and simply discusses the issues we face and how Jesus mets us in the midsts of our journey.

In 2007, I moved to Kona, Hawaii, and joined the YWAM training center there to continue my work with discipling young people. Currently I spend over ½ of my year traveling and teaching in YWAM, churches and universities, challenging and encouraging people to run after and fall in love with Jesus. The rest of the year I am at home at our YWAM Base in Kona, Hawaii, working with our Discipleship Training schools. My passion is to see a generation of people discover who Jesus is and help and encourage them to walk with Him in every area of their life.

In January 2015, I published my 3rd book, A Fresh Look at Fear. The Lord spoke to me when I was in my twenties that by the age of 50 I’d have written three books. He is faithful!

Ed and Linda Hackett have been on the Senior Leadership Team of the International

Intercessory Missionary and helps to give leadership and training for the Prophetic
Ministry on the IHOP-KC Missions Base. His passion is to love the Lord in the Spirit

“The IHOPKC community exists to partner in the Great Commission by advancing
24/7 prayer and proclaiming the beauty of Jesus and His glorious return.”

I studied at Wheaton College with John Lee and Shin Kim.

I moved to Izmir, Turkey in 2001, and have been in Turkey a total of about 12 years. 

In 2001, as a team of 12 people, we planted a church named New Birth Church, from which three other churches in other cities in the region were planted. In 2010 we planted Resurrection Church, and continued the responsibility over one of the churches previously planted. The first church and other two churches have continued independent from our oversight. 

The Izmir House of Prayer was started shortly thereafter and is being led by a couple from South Korea. Along with 10 other full-time intercessors, also from South Korea, the Izmir House of Prayer now has continuous worship and prayer 24/7.

We also established a center for raising up harvesters for the harvest God promised prophetically to bring to Turkey. 

A ministry to Syrian refugees resulted in the establishment of a church, which now continues on independent from our oversight as a flourishing church under a Syrian pastor. Additional Syrian ministries, through house-visitation and home bible studies, continues through several members of our church. 

I am currently serving as one of the senior leaders of Resurrection ministries.
