Africa shall be saved!
Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke founded Christ for all Nations (CfaN) in 1974. Before that, he served as a missionary in the African nation, Lesotho, for several years. His deep and passionate desire to reach all of Africa with the Good News of Jesus Christ originated in a God-given vision that declared, “Africa shall be saved!” Several confirmations of the vision consolidated the powerful call on Reinhard’s life.
From that day, his only goal was to reach Africa with the Good News of the Gospel “from Cape Town to Cairo.”
For the next 40 years, Evangelist Bonnke was president of the ministry he founded.
Then in 2007, the young evangelist Daniel Kolenda joined CfaN. He started ministering at CfaN by preaching in a few services before Reinhard Bonnke brought his Gospel message. Reinhard comments: “I was watching this young man as he was preaching and I knew he had the heart of an evangelist.” Daniel increasingly took over the main services, and people continued to attend the meetings in large numbers.
CfaN Today
Today Daniel Kolenda is the president of Christ for all Nations. The strategic ministry of CfaN continues unhindered with the same fire and vision that started it. Reinhard remains active as the father and founder of CfaN, preaching in numerous conferences and events around the world.
