Crackpot Prophet Welcomes "Home" Wayward Deacon For The 4th or 5th Time Now.



Crackpot Bob has been blasting away on his teensy-weensy little horn these past few days, smugly crowing about how splendidly some Malawians are "cementing" their way back into the one true church (his, naturally, because why would there be any other?). The latest prodigal star in this revolving-door drama? None other than Louis Wahela. This poor fellow has bounced in and out of Crackpot Bob's exclusive little club so many times that even Bob himself probably needs a scorecard to keep track. 

First booted out in 2022 for whatever unforgivable sin du jour, graciously welcomed back in 2024 like a long-lost sheep, only to wander off again shortly thereafter. And now, in 2026, he's back on his knees, groveling for forgiveness from the Almighty Crackpot Bob and begging for a fresh dose of that legendary divine mercy. Truly inspiring stuff—nothing says "stable spiritual leadership" like an endless game of ecclesiastical musical chairs. What should we expect? The African COG leaders have church-hopped for decades from SDA to various COG groups. Back and forth they go as long as their honey pot is full.

Pastor Dr Bob 
How are you doing in America I would like to report that we met with pastor Evans in Migowi to tell him our great desire to come back to our mother ccog who made us to know the truth. The meeting was very successful in the way that pastor Evans has welcome me back together with Machemba and Priscilla . We met at Rufaro hotel I have suggested to come back to my former because of the behavior of the leadership as I told you later. And the decision has been made by myself not Evans has told me to do so. Am writing this letter for you to know what is on the ground . Pastor take us as prodigal son to have realized his mistake We discussed much and all is fine we greatly need your prayers and support We are thankful for accepting us to be in church evo 
May God reachly bless you 
Louis Wahela 
After the meeting we prayed together 
 
And just to complete the hilarious cycle, let's rewind the tape: back in 2022, Crackpot Bob was positively gloating online about Wahela "returning" to the holy fold (how triumphant!). Then, poof—by 2023, Wahela had slipped away again to greener (or at least different) pastures. 2024 rolls around, and Bob flings the doors wide open once more in another grand welcome-back spectacle. But alas, fidelity is fleeting; Wahela exits stage left yet again. Now here we are in 2026, and Bob is rolling out the red carpet for the third (or is it fourth?) triumphant homecoming. 

One has to admire the sheer commitment to appearances. 

Crackpot Bob is so laser-focused on puffing up those membership numbers and keeping the Caucasian tithe-payers back home feeling like their dollars are funding a thriving, unstoppable global work (rather than, say, a perpetual African yo-yo act) that he'll apparently forgive, forget, re-forgive, and re-welcome anyone who can string together a sufficiently penitent email. Numbers over integrity, optics over consistency—truly the mark of a serious end-time prophet. 

What a trainwreck masterpiece. 

Keep those revolving doors greased, Bob; the show must go on!

"Another leader in Malawi has returned"

Back in 2022, there were issues with Malawi deacon Louis Wahela, so we put him out of the CCOG. In 2023, he was recruited in the Sunuzi area by a ‘Hope of Israel’ representative. He has since repented, turned down a financial offer from Hope, and asked to come back to the Continuing Church of God. His stated reasons earlier this month included Hope not truly preaching the gospel, Hope having a negative and wrong focus, and that one of its leaders continued to display what could be called inappropriate behavior against the truth.

Louis Wahela and his related congregations came back with us a week or two ago, and he sent the following email yesterday:

From: Louis Wahela <louiswahela@gmail.com>
Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2024, 12:15
Subject: I have decided to go back to ccog
Greetings pastor Bob, how are you doing today. I am totally fine and good
I write this letter to tell you that am no longer a pastor of hope of Israel church of God because I have seen that Terry and Alexander are not preaching the gospel but they are discussing how to break continuing church of God and use money to arrest mulozowa without proper reason
When he came to Malawi the meeting we had was about radson not spiritual and I told radson all that were discussed in the meeting
He further shouted at Priscilla for allowing his children to attend the youth camp meeting but in answer Priscilla told Terry that the children are worshipping with their father
Terry has been telling us to witness in court so that mulozowa can be arrested and give way for the church to progress
Since I refused to say that together with Priscilla he decided to take the motorcycle from me and they are planning to take back phone he bought for Priscilla and chiphangwi.
The truth is mulozowa did not sell the Bible’s but Terry told us to witness about that so that after everything a reward will be paid …
Thanks for welcoming me into the gospel remember that radson is very innocent but the only problem is hope of Israel is afraid of him
I have done several meetings with radson and have explained many things to him and I believe he will tell you much
I have talked with pastor Evans on video call and he totally encouraged me
Now that for me to know the gospel it’s because of radson not foster
For example foster is a Sunday keeper, how can that one lead the work of God
Yours faithfully
Louis Wahela 
 
Note: The above are his comments with his opinions on matters that affected him and others in Malawi. Basically, he has confirmed a lot of what I have believed and have been reporting here on several of those topics. Foster, despite not keeping the bibical Sabbath, has been an advisor to Hope of Israel for some time now.




Louis Wahela, Radson Mulozowa, Luka Likhuva

Standing in front of the $3,000 car, Crackpot Bob bought for Radson.
Radson had lost a lot of weight, as he has HiV/ tuberculosis, it almost killed him. 
He went to the Witchdoctors to get healed, according to Louis Wahela and other sources.

Dave Pack and the Goosebumps Supercut

 



The Goosebumps Supercut is a humorous assembly of one of the manipulative techniques that David C. Pack uses on members of The Restored Church of God. The smirks and chuckling mask a darker indoctrination practice: manipulation through repetitive phrasing.




The seemingly colorful and light-hearted words signal to the members that what they are hearing from their Pastor General is so shocking, important, and precious that every member should experience a physical reaction of awe to the unique revealed knowledge.

This subconsciously reinforces David C. Pack’s legitimacy as God’s end-times vessel for delivering critical prophetic and biblical understanding. When he preaches a never-before-understood “present truth” to his very select group, because it is presented by an apostle fully empowered with God’s authority, it is to be received with due reverence to the point their skin should tighten.

After 141 failed prophetic dates for the arrival of the Kingdom of God, only those who blindly accept David C. Pack’s authority will get goosebumps from anything he says.

Crackpot Prophet Desperately Trying To Let Everyone Know He Knows Whats Going On In Africa - He Doesnt


 

In a stunning confession that exposes the rot at the heart of  Crackpot Bob's improperly named  "Continuing" Church of God (CCOG), longtime deacon John Machemba has admitted the truth behind the latest round of photos and videos being paraded around to prop up Thiel’s image as a “prophet.” According to Machemba himself, evangelist Evans Ochieng and pastor Radson Mulozowa recently took pictures and videos of him — but only after paying him to claim he was still loyal to CCOG.

This isn’t ministry. This is a paid performance. Evans and Radson’s tactics are simple: stage scenes, hand over a few Kwacha, and make “Prophet Bob” feel warm and fuzzy about his supposed massive following in Africa. They know exactly what Thiel wants to hear — big numbers, loyal leaders, and “proof” that he’s the real deal — and they deliver it for cash.

Crackpot Bob is desperate. He’s so desperate to convince the world (and himself) that he knows what’s really going on in his African congregations that he swallows every staged photo, every scripted email, and every inflated report without question. It’s all delusional thinking on his part. The man can’t even get his own story straight.

Take the case of Louis Wahela. Bob publicly accepted a “repentant” Wahela back into CCOG in January 2023. Yet between then and now, Crackpot Bob has never once admitted publicly that Wahela had actually ended up with the rival Hope of Israel group — and only now, after more staged meetings and payments, is Wahela supposedly “wanting to come back” again. Radio silence from Bob on the flip-flopping. No explanation. No accountability. Just more fantasy presented as fact.

Crackpot Bob either doesn’t get it — or he’s been so thoroughly brainwashed by his own “loyal” men in Africa that he can no longer tell fantasy from reality. Evans, Radson, Machemba, Wahela, and the rest aren’t loyal ministers of God. They’re opportunists. Many have understood for years that these guys are only in it for the money. They’ll say anything, film anything, claim anything — as long as a little Kwacha ends up in their pockets.

This isn’t a church. It’s a con game. And Bob Thiel, in his desperation to be seen as the big-man prophet with thousands of African followers, is the one getting played — while the real victims are the sincere brethren being deceived and the donors whose tithes and offerings are being wasted on this African circus.

The confession from John Machemba is out. The photos and videos were bought and paid for. The numbers are fake. The loyalty is fake. And Bob’s entire African “success story” is one giant, expensive delusion.

Time for the truth to finally catch up with the so-called prophet of the improperly named "Continuing" Church of God.
