Unmasking Steven Koko: Grooming, Abuse, ...

THE REMNANT RADIO
About this episode

Who is Steven Koko?  Once celebrated as the “Billy Graham of Panama,” Steven Koko is now facing horrific abuse allegations of sexual grooming, physical abuse, and cover-ups. 

This week on Remnant Radio, we’re reviewing allegations against Steven Koko, who used his Cities for Christ ministry to target vulnerable women. We’ll review victim testimonies of brutal “training” sessions, Koko’s admitted affairs, and alleged attempts by board members to silence whistleblowers and cover-up Koko's sin issues. 

We’ll also explore Mike Winger’s analysis and Torben Sondergaard’s warnings, calling for church accountability and third-party investigations to protect the vulnerable. Learn how to discern false leaders and navigate the evangelical trust crisis with biblical wisdom.
