Reinhard Bonnke - Power Evangelism Part 05 of 5

He that Wins Souls is Wise!
The Wise Virgins will meet Him at the Trumpets Sound. The Foolish will be Left Behind to go through seven years of Great Tribulation

Reinhard Bonnke heard God’s Call and he said Yes! Now he is gone to his eternal reward and God looks on the ripe harvest and says to his followers, Pray that the Lord of the Harvest will send laborers into His harvest fields to reap the souls that Jesus died to save!

My prayer for you: May the Holy Spirit reveal to you the lost condition of the people all around you. May God fill you mind with thoughts about eternity so that you will not think only of your time here on earth in your physical body. We will all live forever. It is not over when our body dies. I pray God will fill your heart with love and compassion for the lost. I pray that you will commit to the Lord to be obedient to doing your part in the Great Commission of going into all the world with the Good News of Salvation through Jesus Christ. I pray that God will give you great reward for your labors in evangelism. I pray that when you stand before Jesus you will fall at His feet and here him say, Well done my good and faithful servant, enter into the Joy of the Lord!

Reinhard Bonnke began his work in Africa in 1967.

In the first few years of his work, Bonnke encountered poor results from his evangelistic efforts and felt frustrated at the pace of his ministry. Then he had a recurring dream featuring a picture of the map of Africa being splattered with blood and heard the voice of God crying "Africa Shall Be Saved". This ultimately led him to adopt large-scale evangelism, rather than the traditional small-scale missionary approach. He rented a stadium in Gaborone, Botswana, and preached with little cooperation from local churches. The first meetings saw about 100 people attending, but this number grew swiftly.

Bonnke began his ministry holding tent meetings that accommodated large crowds. According to an account published by the Christian Broadcasting Network, in 1984 he commissioned the construction of what was claimed to be the world's largest mobile structure - a tent capable of seating 34,000; this was destroyed in a windstorm just before a major meeting and therefore the team decided to hold the event in the open air instead. According to this account, the event was subsequently attended by over 100,000 people, which is far greater than the 34,000 seating capacity the tents could have contained. For various reasons, usually due to insufficient capacity, the 34,000-seat tent was only used once, in Harare, Zimbabwe, in 1986.

In addition to South Africa, Bonnke would also hold many campaigns in other African countries including Nigeria and Kenya and became known as "the Billy Graham of Africa." In the 5 February 2001 edition of Graham's Christianity Today, journalist Corrie Cutrer stated that Bonnke had set "record-breaking attendances" at recent events he held in Nigeria.Bonnke announced his "farewell gospel crusade" to be held in Lagos, Nigeria, in November 2017. Lagos is also the location of a gospel crusade held in 2000 which, according to CfaN, is the organization's largest to date, drawing an attendance of six million people.
