Continuing Church of God (CCOG) evangelist Evans Ochieng was originally a Seventh-day Adventist before becoming part of the old Worldwide Church of God. After the apostasy hit the old WCG, he became a host in the old Global then Living Church of God, before going elsewhere. In November 2013, after reviewing CCOG websites and literature, he asked to be part of CCOG. He came in with 260 people and now oversees 4,000 in Kenya, Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique, South Sudan, Zambia, Tanzania, and Uganda. Yet, various ones, such as some connected to the anti-COG Banned by HWA website have promoted lies about him. What do scriptures say about addressing claims of fools? In this sermonette video, Dr. Thiel dispels some of the lies that have been falsely stated about Evans Ochieng and provides truth for those interested in it.
