Restored Church of God and It's Money Managing Ministers

 

The Restored Church of God has had a couple of articles on their apostate defecting ministers site by a guy from Africa name Prince Vidal Wachuku.  Dave Pack has been trotting out this guy for his saccharine dripping words of praise about the  mightiest, biggest and most important ministry in the entire universe.  Brother Vidal and his wife are from Nigeria. RED FLAGNow it has been disclosed that they are "wealth creation strategists." RED FLAG: Nigeria and wealth creation?  Bad combination of words!)  


Their wealth creation business may be entirely legitimate, but when that topic is combined with Nigeria and a Church of God all kinds of red flags should go upWhen Dave Pack brings in money strategists right at the point where he is wanting to build a new monument to himself should be suspect too.  Are the Wachuku's there to help Dave manage his money?  Was he such an inept boob financially that he had to bring in church money mangers?  Are they there to teach church members how to earn more money in order to send it it to Dave?

  1. Nice bit of detective work !! Did you just find it on Google ?

    Gee I better not give my real name, all you will find on me is a local news segment when they opened a beer department at our Giant Supermarket. That's where all my wealth goes !

    Sir in Jesus, I mean, Christ name.

    REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP and Evangelist Opportunity

    First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and "Top Secret". Should you accept this offer, you will be crowned and enthroned at Headquarters in Wadsworth, Ohio. USA

    You have been recommended by an associate of the United Church of God who assured me in confidence of your ability and reliability to prosecute a pending ordination transaction of great magnitude, requiring maximum confidence.

    We are top officials of the Restored Church of God who are interested in the importation of yourself into our Church, I mean God's Church-The Restored Church of God, with funds which are presently confined in Nigeria. You did send it in and Mr. Pack stashed it in your
    Country for safe keeping.

    In order to commence this ordination, we solicit your assistance to enable us to transfer into your account, a portion of the said stashed tithes.

    The following represents the source of the funds. During the last COG crack up here in Nigeria, Restored Church of God set up small churches of no more than 10 send it inners and awarded themselves tithes which were grossly over invoiced in various ministries which informed the setting up of the Restored Church of God by the present Apostle to advice on the aforementioned. We have identified a lot of inflated tithe, membership and church sums which are presently floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for payment, amongst which is the said sum of US$31,320,000 (Thirty One Million, Three-Hundred and Twenty Thousand United States Dollars) that we solicit your assistance for the transfer.

    As we are unable to manage the transfer all by ourselves by virtue of our position as Religious servants and members of the Restored Church of God, I have therefore been delegated as a matter of trust by Mr. David C Pack, Apostle Over All, to solicit for an overseas partner into whose account we would transfer the said sum.

    Mr. Pack has agreed to share the money thus if you will agree to come over to the Restored Church of God post haste:

    1. 25% for the Account Owner (you)
    2. 65% for us (The Ministry under Apostle David C Pack.)
    3. 10% to be used in settling all expenses (our end and your end). Incidental to the realization of this transaction but we'll find a way to use any excess for sure.

    It is from the 65% that we wish to commence the UCG tranfer and ministerial credentialing of yourself with us. Please note that this transaction is 100% safe and we hope to conclude the transaction in at most 10 Sabbath Cycles days from : 234-30-408550 and 234-90-408674, the date of the receipt of the following information from you by Fax through your company name and address, your bankers name and your Tel/Fax: number, bearing in mind the festivities (Passover and Unleavened) we are in.

    As a token of our appreciation to you, we shall make available to you at less than market price as much as 500,000 barrels of Automotive Gas Oil for spot lift.

    The above information from you will enable us write letters of claim and job description respectively enabling us use your Company Name and Account details to apply for payment. We are looking forward to doing this business with you and solicit your confidentiality in this transaction. Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter using the above Tel/Fax numbers. I will bring you into the complete picture of this pending project when I have heard from you.

    Yours Faithfully,

    Dr. Akeem Biobaku Apostolic Assistant'

    M.T.Offers

  3. Dave Pack formerly attacked UCG and LCG for occasionally giving money to "Protestant" relief organizations after major natural disasters.

    I guess things have changed in Pack-land, because RCG now has a minister, Prince Vidal Wachuku, who along with his wife did exactly that kind of work as recently as 2010:

    Relief Network Ministries, June 2010

    Apparently the Wachukus had been doing this for some time, as they were associated with that Protestant good works ministry going back at least as far as 2001:

    Relief Network Ministries Newsletter, 2001

    On page 4, you'll see that Vidal Wachuku was the group's "Abuja representative" during that 2001 trip.

  4. Check out the Ezine articles. One article mentioned their wealth seminar costs $200. Can't afford it? Start by saving $2 a day, which will accumulate to $200 so you can attend! But what they don't tell you is that you then have to buy their books and take follow-up seminars.

    So who is accumulating the wealth? Certainly not the participants.

    The sharks swim together.

  5. Is it possible that David Pack is about to participate in Wealth Creation for Prince Vidal and Christine?

    Just remember the principle of entropy: You can reduce entropy locally by robbing it from somewhere else.

    I'm thinking, reducing financial entropy in Nigeria by stealing it from Wadsworth.

    Works for me.

    Go for it!

  6. Mish: I was responding to a comment below on another thread about Vidal and Christine when a person said to check their name out. What I did not find though was the info about "Christine and Vidal Wachuku appear as recently as 2010 to have been "winning souls for Jesus""

  7. Oh no! Not another one - another "Largest Church of God ever" being raised up in Africa.

    What could God be thinking anyway?

    Me thinks it is great for bragging rights - who can argue that these huge droves are not being called in Africa. I mean who can go there and see for themselves? Just easier to believe that God is working there I guess.

  8. Maybe we will see another "repentance" letter from Vidal like the one from Dale. Did Vidal have his eyes blinded by the evil of laodiceanism when he was winning souls for Christ or helping relief organizations? If so then Vidal should participate in the same version of a Mea Culpa as Dale had to and explain his past, (his present as well). Since when are COG ministers supposed to participate in wealth making schemes. Brings to mind Amway and all those other pyramids. I doubt that Vidal is a full-time paid minister. He may run some congregations but I don't think Davey can afford him full time. Now Dale is another thing, he is in the NYC area. He is an investment. High concentration of potential memebers who make a good amount of money in that geographical area. Jesus said the fields are white for harvest, for Davey they are green with the almighty dollar.

  9. It is downright scary when some Nigerian (RED FLAG) Lawyer (RED FLAG) like Prince (RED FLAG) Vidal Wachuku finds that the best way to apply his TAKE ACTION seminars (RED FLAG) is to join the RCG and collect a paycheck from it.

    It is sickening to think of all the people who mean well and support the RCG having their hard-earned tithes, offerings, and other funds siphoned off by such characters. Hopefully, DCP won't hand over everything to him for the promise that he can double it in a few months.

  10. Prince Vidal Wachuku has previously told us, on Dave Pack's own website, that he came into RCG in November 2008.

    Wachuku's RCG story

    Now we have evidence that as of 2010 he and his wife were raising money to help a Protestant charity spread its idea of the Gospel to Nigeria.

    Oops!

  11. "Check out the Ezine articles. One article mentioned their wealth seminar costs $200. Can't afford it? Start by saving $2 a day"

    Isn't that just another form of "Send it in!"

    God forbid the man would say, then come anyway...

    Dave has something up under his sleave. Dave would never hire someone he can't get a return on

  12. You all are just bunch of fools. So you mean to tell me that if you were doing something you taught was right in the past but now come to a new belief and then stop doing it, your name will suddenly be cleared from your past. We all have a past be it good or bad just as these couple do and some of yours even stink more than theirs do. Wealth creation is not bad neither is joining a church so get a grip on yourself.You also must be really jobless to spend your time raking up people's past instead of focusing on your own life. Like an article said, RCG doesn't force anyone to join their church so why are you bothered about their activities?! It just shows that you are interested in them and they are getting to you all. Why don't you wait and see if they really pull off their new world HQ then we'll know the truth.
