R. Mitchell is someone who was greatly used of God at one time and evidently sideswiped by the adversary. Let's face it, if there was nothing unique about his 'preaching for UPC' folks this thread wouldn't have had significance.
He is the one that was supposedly led around Africa years ago by an angel. Saw some great things and I, personally, saw some miraculous things that were done as a result of his prayers. As with all those who are 'prophetically inclined' there will be some who shout "FAKE!" and others who will almost become cultic in following the hype of a prophetic ministry. Most think Bro. Mitchell was the real deal.
Most powerful men become targets of the adversary and Bro. Mitchell was no different. There were some moral problems that he was accused of and it pretty much cost him his ministry.
Thus... the Apostolic movement is faced with one of the greatest dilemmas of our existence... How do we deal, if at all, with restoring fallen ministers? That is another topic... and a frightening one for most.
I've heard it said that Bro. Mitchell supposedly made himself accountable and has proven himself trustworthy in the eyes of some Pastors. I guess that is why he's preaching for some of them.
