Nearly everyone agrees the evidence indicates that Mike Bickle is a sexual predator whose abuse of women spans several decades. And nearly everyone agrees that many changes need to be made at IHOPKC, where Bickle’s abusive behavior had gone on since before IHOPKC’s inception. But many of these same people have not seen the larger implications for IHOPKC and the so-called “global prayer movement” it has fueled.
