Reinhard Bonnke (born April 19, 1940) is a German Pentecostal
evangelist, principally known for his gospel missions throughout Africa.
Bonnke has been an evangelist and missionary in Africa since 1967. Bonnke has
overseen 75 million recorded conversions to Christ. Bonnke founder of Christ for
all Nations (CfaN), will return to Nigeria for his final African Gospel -
Crusade in November 2017.
Last
month, he announces and is set to hold his final crusade in Nigeria as
he prepares to retire from world evangelism. His 'farewell gospel crusade' to be held in Lagos, Nigeria in November 8-12 2017.
While certainly not CfaN’s final African crusade, Bonnke’s return could
inspire another historic attendance like the crowd at the Lagos, Nigeria
Millennium Crusade in 2000, CfaN’s largest crusade to-date, says the
evangelistic ministry in a media release.
During the 2000 crusade, over the course of
five nights, 6-million attended and 3.4-million decisions for Christ were made.
In November 2017, CfaN anticipates many
decisions for Christ in response to Bonnke’s farewell message. One of the
highlights of the crusade will be a Passing The Burning Torch Conference for
leaders and church workers. Bonnke is believing for many thousands of pastors
and evangelists from around the globe to be inspired to evangelism, says CfaN.
Expecting a
spectacular harvest
John Darku, CfaN’s African director says: “This crusade will be like none we have seen before. Currently we plan to recruit 500 000 counsellors, 200 000 intercessors, a choir of over 23 000 and a security force of over 10 000. There is great excitement from all the churches in the country, and we are expecting a spectacular harvest of people coming to Christ.”

Lead evangelist of CfaN and successor to Bonnke, Daniel
Kolenda says: “I’m thrilled to join with Reinhard in this vision, and
know that the results of this crusade will be farther reaching and of even
greater consequence than we can even imagine.”
Vision for a
continent washed in Jesus’ blood
Ever since God gave Bonnke a vision for a blood-washed Africa — a continent washed in the blood of Jesus Christ — over 40 years ago, he has been filled with a burning commitment to win the continent for Jesus, says CfaN.

Since then, he and the CfaN team have
organised events in Africa that have grown from handfuls of attendees to the
winning of over 76 million registered decisions for Christ in Africa since
1987.
Looking towards November Bonnke
says: “The Lord spoke to me, that I should go back for one more crusade in
Africa. I want not only to see a gigantic harvest of souls, but to pass my
burning torch to this generation.
“Recently, I travelled to Lagos, Nigeria to
meet with the spiritual leadership there and they gave their unanimous support.
I believe God is going to do something I have never seen before.”
Peter Vandenberg, Executive Vice President of
CfaN, who has worked alongside Bonnke for over 35 years, says: “Millions
in Africa now know the Holy Spirit, thanks to one man’s incredible commitment
to a singular God-given vision, and to his forming of a longstanding
organisation and formidable team of anointed future leadership around that
vision.
“This November, Evangelist Bonnke will enter
and leave Africa possibly for the last time, bidding a bittersweet farewell to
a continent and people who he very much loves and have been the centre of his
life’s mission.”
