Youth with a Mission (YWAM) teams up with the International House of Prayer (IHOP) in New Dehli, India, according to the YWAM website and the YWAM Extreme store. A statement reads: "On Thursday September 25, 2008, the School of Intercessory Prayer (SOIP) will begin in New Delhi ... YWAM IHOP in New Delhi, India: The SOIP will take place at YWAM Delhi's International House of Prayer (IHOP), which was established in 2001." Loren Cunningham, founder of YWAM, gives the following endorsement of IHOP: "The Great Harvest needs to be supplied by continual prayer and fasting. Intercessory ministries like Mike Bickle's in Kansas City are vital for the fulfillment of the Great Commission." Loren Cunningham - Youth With A Mission (YWAM)
We recommend those wanting to know about ministries that are rooted in the River movement (Word/Faith, ect.), to read The Other Side of the River by Kevin Reeves. This important biography covers the twelve years Reeves was part of a River church. His story exposes many of the false, and sometimes mystical, practices and doctrines that Mike Bickle (IHOP), Rick Joyner, Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagin, John Wimber, and many others have taught to countless Christians. Also for documentation on YWAM's move toward the new missiology, read Mike Oppenheimer and Sandy Simpson's book, Idolatry in Their Hearts.
It is our prayer and hope that YWAM will not continue going in the direction of a new missiology that ultimately rejects the foundations of biblical truth (see Oakland article above).
