ONLINE CHRISTIAN TV MINISTRIES’ DISPUTE IMPACTS VIEWERS WORLDWIDE

LANGLEY, B.C. (January 2, 2020) – A dispute between two online Christian television ministries has led to allegations of collusion and slander, creating a controversy that has affected viewers worldwide.

Amazing Discoveries with Walter Veith, known to many as the online Christian television ministry dedicated to exposing deceptions and errors in the religious realm, is being accused of disseminating misinformation about Quo Vadis Ministry (QVTV), a new television ministry devoted to the Gospel, in an alleged effort to minimize its credibility with prospective subscribers. The irony: Quo Vadis was launched by the same people who founded Amazing Discoveries – a fact that has reportedly been downplayed by Amazing Discoveries. The controversy, which has raised questions from thousands of viewers worldwide, centers around an alleged hostile takeover of Amazing Discoveries that resulted in the expulsion of its founders.

In a letter dated December 19, 2019 written by Lisabeth Dolwig, the board chair for Quo Vadis, details of the separation from Amazing Discoveries were revealed for the first time. The letter states that Wenzel and Dagmar Goubej, the founders and creators of Amazing Discoveries, were “forced out of their positions for reasons that have remained nebulous” and that board members at Amazing Discoveries were “misled and encouraged to support false allegations against the Goubejs.” The letter also states that the same board members, representing half of the Amazing Discoveries board, departed the ministry after disavowing their involvement with the Goubejs expulsion.

A letter from Amazing Discoveries to its subscriber base dated May 6, 2019 and signed by Wendy Goubej, the daughter of the Goubejs, levelled allegations against them including innuendo that they had committed unethical and potentially illegal activities. Amazing Discoveries has also reportedly characterized Quo Vadis as an apostate offshoot when receiving inquiries about the separation.

“It is the sincere hope and prayer of those at Quo Vadis that this situation can somehow be reconciled,” says Victor Gill, pastor and spokesperson for Quo Vadis. Gill was formerly a veteran member of the Amazing Discoveries board. “There have been many trials and so much needless suffering over the course of these past three years because of the split,” he says. “The board at Quo Vadis felt that the time had come to speak out for the sake of the ministry’s future and so that those who look to both ministries for hope and inspiration can take solace in knowing that their differences were settled Biblically and with love and compassion.”

“I want to make it clear that this is not an effort to indict anyone at Amazing Discoveries, a ministry that many have respected and appreciated for more than two decades,” says Gill. “Rather it’s an attempt to set the record straight so that both ministries can continue with their respective missions without any more rumors or accusations.”

Quo Vadis Ministry is a Christian television ministry based in Langley, British Columbia. Through its online television channel (QVTV) and satellite transmissions, it is dedicated to reaching the world with the Gospel message.
