House of Prayer

The church self describes itself as a Pentecostal Christian ministry. It has been in trouble with the law for some time. Recently a pastor of the ministry, Semexant, was arrested for child sex crimes. Founder Rony Denis and several others were also arrested this week for claims of fraudulent activity involving veterans.
