Prominent Christian televangelist Andrew Wommack, whose ministry is based in Woodland Park, was the victim of a false report by an online media outlet called newsstation2.com.

Released online on Oct. 9, the article claimed that a plane crash on Oct. 8 had killed Wommack, founder and president of Andrew Wommack Ministries, the 30-year-old Charis Bible College and the Truth and Liberty Coalition.

“No aspect of the story is accurate,” says a statement Andrew Wommack Ministries issued.

“Andrew Wommack was not in an aircraft accident and is completely safe,” the ministry spokesperson said. “We will not speculate as to the motivation of this false report.”

It is unclear whether newsstation2.com is a legitimate news outlet, the ministry said.

The website is listed as a possible scam under scamadviser.com, a site that uses an algorithm to determine if a website is legitimate or is a phishing site, sells phony products or is an online con job. There is no contact information listed for the site.

It is also unknown why such a story would be circulated.

There appears to be no significance to the date of when the bogus report says the accident happened, a ministry official said.

Wommack employees learned of the fake article after the switchboards at the ministry’s call center on its campus in Woodland Park lit up on Wednesday.

“Calls came into the Andrew Wommack Ministries prayer line inquiring about a deadly accident they had seen on Facebook,” the ministry representative said.

Wommack announced a multiphased succession plan for Charis Bible College in August but is continuing to do what he’s done for decades since he began his work as a Bible teacher in 1972.

He appears daily on his Gospel Truth television program, which is broadcast nationally and internationally, and also through GospelTruth.TV, his internet television network.

Wommack also overseeing the ministry and the Truth and Liberty Coalition, a 501©(4) nonprofit that he and other Christian leaders founded in 2018 as a political arm that promotes conservative and Christian values in communities and government affairs.

Inaccurate stories claiming the deaths of other Christian leaders as just happening also appeared on the site this week, including Smith Wigglesworth, a British evangelist who died in 1947, and Joseph Prince, founder of New Creation Church in Singapore, who is not deceased.
