Popular Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke Is Dead. His Legacy Lives On by FactBoyz: 3:06pm On Dec 07, 2019
Popular German Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke is dead..

Bonnke in his lifetime preached to millions in Africa helping to evangelize the gospel in Africa. His 2000 crusade in Lagos drew a whooping total attendance of 6 million people.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, it is with sorrow that the Bonnke Family would like to announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke,” Anni Bonnke said in a statement on Saturday afternoon.

“He passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on December 7, 2019. For the past 60 years he has preached the glorious Gospel of Jesus throughout the entire world.

“We want to thank you on behalf of him and our family, for your kind love and unwavering support, which enabled him to preach the matchless message of salvation to countless people.”

Reinhard Bonnke was born in April 19, 1940. He was an evangelist, popularly known for his gospel missions throughout Africa. Bonnke has been an evangelist and missionary in Africa since 1967.
Reinhard Bonnke has overseen 75 million recorded conversions to Christ.

Reinhard Bonnke became born again at the young age of nine. This was reportedly after his mother called his attention to his sin. This led to him going for missionary work at the age of 10 in Africa, where he claims to have had an encounter with the Holy Spirit. This was just the beginning of his missionary work in Africa.

His ministry started formally after he attended Bible College in Wales and was ordained in Germany, where he pastored a church. He eventually left to start his missionary work in Africa in 1969.

There, he saw ‘the continent of Africa, being washed in the precious Blood of Jesus.’ This happened in Lesotho. This was the vision for his entire ministry, to reach people by spreading the Gospel.

With this vision, Evangelist Bonnke started open-air Gospel Campaigns, conducted city-wide meetings across the continent, and founded the international ministry of Christ for all Nations (CfaN), which has 75 million recorded decisions for Christ.

Bonnke's passion for Africa is due to a recurring dream featuring a picture of the map of Africa being spread with red and heard the voice of God crying "Africa Shall Be Saved"

That encounter, led him to massive campaigns in evangelism; organising crusades and getting millions saved.

His 2017 final crusade in Lagos Passing The Torch had millions in attendance.

Honestly.. Evangelism is rare amongst Christians today thanks to PROSPERITY PREACHING.. Prosperity is not wrong but its over emphasis is wrong...

Want to know more about people who really evangelized? Go to Google and search these names.. Their impact was massive..

1. John Wesley
2. Charles Finney
3. Billy Graham (preached to an estimated 215 million people)
4. Reinhard Bonn
5. Dwight Lyman Moody


Preach the word in season and out of season.. That is your duty as a Christian..

Hope your name and mine will be found among them too, someday.

If we Christians, each will do the master's will than sit down and critisize what others are not doing well, I am sure more souls wold have been won into the kingdom.

Christianity has suffered even more in the hand of so called Christians than in the hands of any other.

My point is, brother, how many times did you go out on evangelism this year and how many souls have you won for Christ this year?


Don't forget the work of evangelism is every believer's ministry.

Enough of all these jabs on men of God. I know exactly where this your point is leading to. So, I am immediately calling you for self examination.
