In Juba, Sudan the team conducted a crusade and fire conference. The response was amazing with over 243,532 people completing a decision card for salvation. The effort required to get to Juba by the technical team was nothing short of heroic. A 1500 kilometer journey over rough roads, and bridges barely able to hold the weight of the huge trucks. The results were well worth the effort.

In August, Bonnke traveled to Wukari, Nigeria. The welcome from the people was remarkable. They lined the streets for many miles, rejoicing that the crusade was being held in their city. The final count of completed decision cards for salvation was 455,140. The harvest fields of Africa are ripe for the gospel.. The gospel crusade in Lagos, Nigeria in November this year will be the largest ever conducted by the ministry of Christ for all Nations. There are already over 6 million follow-up booklets in place, and they anticipate a mighty move of God in Nigeria’s most populated city.

HIS PASSION

Reinhard is known for his passion for the lost and his dynamic speaking with disarming simplicity. In the last six years, more than forty million individuals have made commitments to Christ through his ministry – most of them on the continent of Africa. Reinhard says, “It is not that the Church hasn’t been trained in evangelism, it is not a lack of instruction or information. The fact is, if you don’t love people through the eyes of Christ, the world will never be changed. His passion is to reach out to the lost through sharing the love of Jesus around the world.”

GOD NEVER FAILS

Reinhard says the crusades are always the same, and that’s a very good thing. They are always the same in that the Holy Spirit woos the large crowds. The large numbers of people respond to the gospel message of salvation and finally, signs and wonders of all sorts follow the salvations. Blind eyes see, deaf ears hear, the lame give up crutches, wheel chairs and get up from sick beds. Those with incurable diseases are made whole and those with demonic oppressions and possessions are set totally free. Reinhard obediently does what the Lord has called him to do. He preaches the truth of God’s word and invites those in need to come.

HIS EVANGELISTIC MINISTRY

When Reinhard tells of God calling him to a life of evangelism, he speaks easily about a dialogue they had. It seems God laid out for him what would be expected. Reinhard told God that he would obey and follow what God was asking of him. Before this extended conversation ended, however, God told him, “You weren’t my first choice.” Reinhard listened. “You weren’t my second choice either.” Later on there was a time when Reinhard hesitated to schedule a specific crusade. He says as he wavered, “God said, ‘You drop the vision and I drop you.” The evangelist attributes the tremendous responses he sees in ministry to simple obedience to what God requires. In conclusion his still changing and transforming lives in Africa and around the world. To God be the glory.

Jesus around the world.”
