Mike Bickle Scandal Update, Accusations and Allegations
Mike Bickle is the founder of the International House of Prayer of Kansas City (IHOPKC). He is now facing several allegations of sexual and spiritual abuse involving multiple women. He has been accused of sexual misconduct “where the marriage covenant was not honored,” as per a statement of Saturday from a group of former IHOPKC.
They were initially shocked after these allegations were credible based on the “collective and corroborating testimony” of “several victims.”
Stuart Greaves, executive director at IHOPKC, announced that the team is “taking the situation very seriously.”
In the 1980s and 1990s, Bickle started working as a pastor in Kansas City. During the mid-90s, his church separated from the Vineyard group because Bickle became more charismatic and started to believe in different things about predicting the future and praying.
Bickle was connected to some local “prophets” like Paul Cain and Bob Jones. Later on, both of these individuals got into trouble: Jones admitted to inappropriate behavior and hurting people spiritually, while Cain faced consequences for his actions related to homosexuality and drinking.
