The ongoing sex scandal of Mike Bickle has led to more leadership changes at the International House of Prayer. Before Christmas, the International House of Prayer ousted Mike Bickle from his leadership position. The reason that they did so was that the allegations against Mike Bickle grew in severity. Mike Bickle allegedly used prophecy to get into adulterous relationships with loose women, including telling these women that his wife was terminal. Now David Sliker is gone from his post as president of IHOP University.
Dear IHOPKC Family,
After seven years of faithful service, our dear brother in Christ, David Sliker, has decided to step down as President of IHOPU.
David is also stepping down from the IHOPKC’s Executive Leadership Team, effective immediately.
This was a mutual decision made in the best interest of the IHOPKC community and David’s family.
We honor David’s service and dedication. He is loved by the IHOPKC community and he remains in good standing with this spiritual family.
Additionally, the executive committee of IHOPKC’s Board of Directors, the ELT, and IHOPU’s leadership team all unanimously agreed to have Matt Candler appointed as the new President of IHOPU effective immediately. Matt and his leadership team will be communicating all the necessary information with the faculty and students in the coming days.
Thank you for your continued prayers in this season.
When pressed about how Sliker could decide to step down and it also be a mutual decision, Eric Volz, the spokesperson for IHOP during this controversy, explained that “It was his decision, and the leadership agreed.”
The International House of Prayer is the organizational embodiment of the New Apostolic Reformation, a heretical hypercharismatic movement.
