Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke Passes Away

It is with great sadness that I and the entire Christ for All Nations family announces the death of our founder, friend and spiritual father, Reinhard Bonnke. All told, more than 79-million people made Christ their Lord as a result of Evangelist Bonnke’s ministry. Bonnke was best known for his gospel outreach campaigns throughout Africa. It is no exaggeration to say that his work transformed the continent
Anni Bonnke and family have asked that, in lieu of flowers, that donations to Christ for all Nations - African Crusades be made. This evangelistic ministry founded by Reinhard Bonnke will, under the leadership of Daniel Kolenda, continue to work to preach the Gospel around the world and see a "bloodwashed Africa.” Please visit REINHARD.CFAN.ORG

Evangelist Daniel Kolenda

Evangelist Franklin Graham said, "Reinhard Bonnke was a powerful evangelist throughout the world, but particularly on the continent of Africa where his heart burned with compassion for people’s souls. Through the preaching of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, millions of lives will be in Heaven and we give praise and glory to God that His Word never returns void. Our thoughts and prayers are with Reinhard’s wife Anni and the entire family."

Thank you Brother Greg for sharing this message by Reinhard Bonnke on The Great Commission. Brother Bonnke obeyed the commands of Jesus, and the result was a great harvest of souls.

This message is not only for those called to be evangelists or missionaries, but it is for everyone that has been born again. We are all called to "go”, outside of the church walls, in the power of the Holy Spirit to be the Lord’s witnesses.

Great servant of God, life well lived, many generations to come will hear his messages, read his books and watch his videos. Praise Jesus! for the life of this man called by God.

Reading this, I was reminded of a eyewitness account of what happened at one of his crusades in India, that a Brother shared on the forum a long time ago.

"I was but an observer, at a Reinhart Bohnke crusade in Madras. I was on the platform[I'm a nobody, but was invited by my sponsors] in front of at least 180,000 people. Reinhart preached and I observed a "splash", in the ocean of people. A small round object was floating on the sea, and floating to the front. It was a basket, with a young girl inside. When Bohnke had prayed, she felt movement in her lifeless legs. She was about 12 years, and the basket had been her only form off transportation. She was born with lifeless and deformed legs.

She came to the front, and wobbled out as bohnke reached down to her, and pulled her out. She reminded me of a spider, as she tumbled along, with legs the size of a golf ball around. He asked for prayer, eyes closed. I was 10 feet away, and decided to watch. I wasn't missing this one.

As I watched, I saw sinew and muscle grow, and her legs formed into the healthy legs of a girl athlete. I literally could not believe, as it was happening. I knew it did, but my mind rejected it.

Then, as he walked her around the stage, she began to skip, and dance, and then leaped in a heavenly stride more beautiful than any ballet, like a gazelle. I did see a halo, a glow. I saw a MAN around her, yet within her.

The crowd went wild for joy. At least 5000 rushed forward to receive the Healer and Savior. Bonhke preached Christ, and Him crucified, with signs following. The Giver of the Gift was honored. The manifestation was not glorified, but received as a gift.”

joch,
That is the best thing I have read on the internet for a long time!!

I’m glad, Brother Steve. It touched me too.
Blessings
