International House of Prayer Founder Mike Bickle has released a statement confessing to “inappropriate behavior” that took place nearly 20 years ago.
The statement comes nearly two months after accusations surfaced alleging he sexually abused several women spanning several decades.
In a letter posted on X Tuesday Bickle wrote, “I sadly admit that 20+ years ago, I sinned by engaging in inappropriate behavior—my moral failures were real. (I am not admitting to the more intense sexual activities that some are suggesting).”
He continued, “I take all sin seriously, so on those occasions I quickly and sincerely repented in a way that resulted in receiving assurance from God followed by a daily resolve to live holy in all of my ways. God graciously helped me to respond in those times with a broken and contrite heart that was filled with godly sorrow. To this day, I remain sorrowful about those past failures.”
