a report

Introduction

Reinhard Bonnke and I have kept in contact with each other since we met in the early sixties as students at the Bible College of Wales in Swansea, South Wales. We have met since those years at several occasions and worked together. I can truthfully say that the fire of an evangelist burns even brighter in him than years ago.

Addition:
It is June 2011 as I edit this page again. Brother Reinhard is still preaching and organizing campaigns but  has an anointed co-worker evangelist Daniel Kolenda, who is also powerfully anointed by the Holy Spirit.

A report by Reinhard Bonnke

We just returned to Frankfurt/Germany and rejoice in that what the Lord has done. Just a few facts: I had the privilege to preach to 1.9 million people in six services. Already the first meeting was attended by 310,000 people, of whom 200,000 received Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. God honoured His Word by mighty signs and wonders. But after the very first meeting an accident happened: Away from the crusadefield, on an intersection of the city the crowd pushed so hard that sixteen people were squashed to death. I sat in a car in the traffic jam for hours when it happened, but we were only informed the following day. My heart broke. What a tragedy. We weep with those who weep. Relatives of the victims brought court action against us, but it was thrown out. The Organizing Committee of the Crusade could not be blamed. The following 5 days the crowds grew up to 500,000 per service. Light and shadow are close, but we thank the Lord for His rainbow.v

NEEDS

God’s harvest must be brought in TODAY, because TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION. We are already in full swing preparing the next rounds. Please pray that the Lord may enable us financially as well.

Whether people go out into the world to proclaim the gospel themselves or make it possible for us to go, every kind of obedience has the same value in the sight of God. Mission is gratitude to Jesus for Calvary - every Christian's gratitude.
