Bonnke returns to Lagos for farewell crusade

German Pentecostal Evangelist, Reinhard Bonnke, is set to return to Nigeria

German Pentecostal Evangelist, Reinhard Bonnke, is set to return to Nigeria for a five day crusade and a three day multi-purpose ministers’ fire conference, according to his team, Christ for All Nations.

CFaN officials led by the African Director, John Darku, said the group is expecting more than 10 million people across Africa at the crusade billed to hold at the large expanse of land near Sparklight Estate, opposite OPIC Plaza, Isheri Osun, Lagos/Ibadan Express Way in November.

Bonnke, a renowned German preacher has visited more than 200 countries to stage, what the faithful described as ‘life-transforming crusades”. Although the Lagos outing will be the last of Bonnke’s international crusade, CFaN will continue to carry on with its global evangelism project.

Darku said the CfaN is anticipating the conversion of many souls to Christ as Bonnke delivers his final message to a crowd of worshippers in Nigeria.

“One of the highlights of the crusade will be a Passing The Burning Torch Conference for leaders and church workers. Bonnke is believing God for many thousands of pastors and evangelists from around the globe to be inspired to evangelism,” says Darku.

Darku told journalists that the crusade promises to be the best of its kind just as he hinted of plans to recruit more than 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,” he says.

Lead evangelist of CfaN and successor to Bonnke, Daniel Kolenda, expressed optimism that the landmark crusade will transform the church not only in Nigeria but also across the continent.
