Firefly, a neutral third-party, is comprised of “current and retired law enforcement investigators, seasoned therapists, and forensic interviewers from throughout the country.”
(Protestia) For nearly a year, former International House of Prayer-Kansas City (IHOPKC) leaders known as The Advocacy Group have been clamoring and insisting that Mike Bickle and his former ministry undergo a thorough investigation by an independent third-party group, and it looks like they’ve gotten their wish.
Bickle, closely associated with the New Apostolic Reformation and the Latter Rain Movement, founded IHOPKC in 1999, where prayer intercessors and musicians have been worshiping and praying 24/7 for nearly 15 years. The group and ministry ethos focused on apostles, prophecies, tongue speaking, visions, dreams, signs, and wonders, with the rotating teams frequently whipping folks into an ecstatic state with repetitive, droning songs that can last for hours. Along with IHOPKC, Bickle founded the International House of Prayer University, which included full-time ministry, music, and media schools and boasted over 2000 students, staff members, missionaries, and volunteers.
