Years ago, I prayed for an old and dying man. Suddenly, (in that moment) a strange thought challenged me: “What would I pray if I were in his place?” It did not take long before I knew the answer for myself: I would ask the Lord to give me the strength to conduct one more Gospel Crusade! I would like to spiritually hit the bull’s-eye, and again lead 100,000 or more souls to the foot of the cross of Christ. There is nothing grander than that!
I can’t think of a more glorious way to conclude my journey than fighting on that victorious battleground. Dear Tom, the Lord has granted my request. I am embarking on my farewell tour of Africa and my heart is filled with great anticipation. With over 40 years of ministry with massive crusades in Africa and other parts of the world, Christ for all Nations has recently surpassed a historic milestone of 76 million documented decisions for Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
On this, my final missionary journey, I want to not only see a gigantic harvest of souls, healings and miracles but I’ll be passing my burning torch to my co-evangelist, Daniel Kolenda, and the next generation. This will formally happen in Lagos, Nigeria, on November 8-12, 2017. While this will certainly not be CfaN’s final African crusade, I’m praying that my return will help to inspire another historic global attendance, even more than we had during our Lagos Millennium Crusade in 2000.
Lagos, Nigeria Millennium Crusade in 2000
That was Christ for all Nation’s largest crusade to-date. During that Lagos Millennium Crusade in 2000, over the course of 5 nights, 6 million people attended and we recorded over 3.4 million individually signed decisionsfor Christ.
On November 2017, Christ for all Nations Ministry leadership anticipates that we’ll see even more decisions for Salvation in response to my farewell message.
One of the highlights of this amazing Crusade will be the “Passing the Burning Torch Fire-Conference” (conducted during the day) for thousands of pastors, evangelists and church leaders from around the globe.
During these sessions, we will be giving out over 300,000 new books at no charge. We want these leaders to not only be inspired, but better equipped and enabled for greater evangelism in all their ministry endeavors.
The KEY is the HOLY SPIRIT! We need to pay heed to the voice of the Holy Spirit and not to miss what the Lord is doing in this end time. The outpouring of the Spirit is God’s special provision for these last hours. That’s why I also believe He prompted me to write a vital NEW BOOK. It’s entitled HOLY SPIRIT: Are we Flammable or Fireproof? In this manuscript, I have penned some fresh, strong teachings on the Holy Spirit. It’s written to challenge and inspire every reader to believe in the amazing power of the Spirit inside of them. I want you to have a copy!
Over and over, I have so often been asked, “Brother Bonnke, what is the secret to your success as an evangelist?” Naturally, I’m careful to give all the credit, praise, and glory to God. But in this book, the Lord instructed me to take the time to thoroughly share the secret of my over 40 years in ministry.
You see, the secret to the massive crusades, the healings, the miracles and over 76 million decisions for Christ is wrapped around a full understanding and acceptance of the fire of the Holy Spirit. God is looking for yielded men and women to pour His Spirit out on and to use them to spread the fires of revival across the globe. Today, witchcraft, occultism and evil make the Gospel as vital as a gun in a snake pit. Cool and casual Christianity will do nothing. Nations urgently need the flaming message of the cross now, more than ever.
