Reinhard Bonnke Plans Farewell Crusade in Nigeria, November 2017.
Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, Founder of Christ for all Nations (CfaN) will return to Nigeria for his final African Gospel - Crusade in November, 2017. While certainly not CfaN’s final African crusade, Evangelist Bonnke’s return could inspire another historic global attendance as that of the Lagos, Nigeria Millennium Crusade in 2000, CfaN’s largest crusade to-date.
During the Lagos Millennium Crusade in 2000, over the course of 5 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 Reinhard Bonnke’s farewell message. One of the highlights of this amazing crusade will be during the day sessions, to have a PASSING THE BURNING TORCH Conference for leaders and all kind of church-workers. Evangelist Bonnke is believing for many thousands of pastors and evangelists from around the globe to be inspired to evangelism. John Darku, CfaN’s African Director shared:
JOHN DARKU
“This crusade will be like none we have seen before. Currently we plan to recruit 500,000 counselors, 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.”
In the coming months, CfaN will release information for people who would like to travel and become part of this remarkable journey and celebration.
The current population of Lagos, Nigeria is over 20 million people. The potential magnitude of this crusade is breathtaking to consider. Lead-Evangelist of CfaN and successor to world renowned Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, Daniel Kolenda speaks from his heart about this monumental event:
DANIEL KOLENDA
“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.”
Ever since God gave Evangelist 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. Evangelist Bonnke has said, “Whether I am eating or drinking, awake or asleep, the vision is ever-present. It never leaves me.” Today, with enormous gratitude for what he has achieved in Africa through God alone, Evangelist Bonnke shares:
REINHARD BONNKE
“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 traveled 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, has worked alongside with Reinhard Bonnke for over thirty five years, preaching to more than 2.5 million delegates in worldwide CfaN conferences. As he looks back on where they began, he added this reflection leading up to Evangelist Bonnke’s Farewell Crusade:
PETER VANDENBERG
“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 organization 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 center of his life’s mission.”

Christ For All Nations
Founded by Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke in 1974, the ministry of Christ for all Nations has a vision for Africa and a message for the world. The ministry is recognized for its huge open-air meetings that have seen up to 1.6 million people in a single gathering.
Its records reflect that during meetings held between 1987 and 2014, some 73 million people recorded a personal decision for Christ. Signs and wonders follow the preaching of the Word and many give testimony of God’s healing power; cripples walk, the blind see and the dead are raised. In 2010 Evangelist Bonnke handed the ministry over to Evangelist Daniel Kolenda. Together, the pair continue to focus on Africa but through stadium campaigns are reaching out and proclaiming the same gospel message throughout the United States of America.
