Does anyone else keep up with Christ for All Nations, founded by Pastor Reinhard Bonnke (May he rest in peace) and currently led by Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke? In my opinion, it is one of the best Christian Ministries on the Planet; I recently donated to them, and get emails from them, such as the one below. The progress they make in Africa - once called "The Graveyard of Missionaries - is almost too great to be believed; they claim 85 MN Decisions for Christ in 40 years, but the stats on Christianity's recent growth in Africa in general does back it up: "A 2018 study by the Gordon–Conwell Theological Seminary discovered that more Christians live in Africa than any other continent, with 631 million Christians throughout the landmass.[12] The study also states that Latin America has the second-highest number of Christians at 601 million Christians, while Europe has the third-highest with 571 million Christians.[13]

According to updated data for 2021, there are now nearly 685 million Christians in Africa, with 760 million expected by 2025.[14] This surpasses earlier estimates of 630 million to 700 million for 2025: "By 2025, that number is expected to nearly double, to somewhere between 630 and 700 million believers."[15]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_Africa

Something Amazing and Spirit-Led absolutely is going in Africa, and Praise the Lord for it, and God Bless CFAN. Thoughts on this, dear friends?

Dear Mission Partners,

Over the course of five days during Operation Decapolis we witnessed 635,522 salvations and countless testimonies of miracle healings!

Carrying out five crusades in five different cities simultaneously was a miracle in itself, but we are blessed with an incredible team of technicians, Gospel truck drivers, and anointed crusade organizers and evangelists! The last city Evangelist Daniel Kolenda preached at during Operation Decapolis was in Lusaka (the District of Kanyama), Zambia –
Below you can read the reports from Evangelists Jacob Ebersole and Alejandro Escobar, who were stationed in Lusaka!
 ​
Evangelist Jacob Ebersole

 ​
Today, I turned 33. It’s been a wild journey that I truly can’t explain in words. It’s almost like a dream I haven’t woken up from. Today is my physical birthday, but more importantly, TODAY, thousands upon thousands of people in Lusaka, Zambia, were BORN AGAIN!! This first night of this crusade has been incredible, and I’m so happy I get to do it alongside my CfaN family."

On the third night, a young woman came to the platform to testify that she had been HIV positive but had given her life to Jesus at the crusade this week, and that day she had retested three times and was HIV negative! Evangelist Jacob shares, “For a long time, she has been in darkness, working the streets, and suffering with a lot of pain and sickness. As she was sharing, it broke all of us, including me. Most of us on the platform were in tears. It is a miracle! Christ has literally pulled this girl out of the pit of hell and set her on the solid rock.”

“… I believe this is just a little glimpse of what Heaven will be like. There are so many amazing things happening on the crusade field! Prodigal sons and daughters are making their way home. People of all ages are coming forward, laying down their idols, addictions, and sins at the altar to be burned... Nothing fancy, just a sea of people surrendering their lives to the King of Kings. This has been such a Holy week.”

 ​
Evangelist Alejandro Escobar

 ​
“Night 4 of the crusade in Kanyama was glorious! I preached a simple Gospel message, and as I was speaking, the Holy Spirit began moving throughout the field. By the time the altar call came, people were weeping, and tens of thousands of hands were raised as people surrendered their life to Jesus! It was a holy moment! This night was also special because, after the salvation call, we prayed for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. As I led the crowd in prayer to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, the whole field went completely silent, then suddenly, like a rising wave, the Holy Spirit flooded the field. People all over were filled with the power and the fire of God! The Harvest is truly ripe!”


 ​

Testimonies
 ​



 ​
A lady was blind (she could only see colors, not faces) for over 3 years. She had to take eye drops 3 times a day, and it wasn’t getting any better. But during the second night of the crusade, she was healed!



 ​
A double miracle! A lady who had breast cancer for three years testified that the cancer was now gone! She also was blind for three years, but now she can see.



 ​
One lady who was crippled since 2014 came to the crusade field on crutches, but after receiving prayer for healing, she can now walk without crutches!



 ​
A lady was diagnosed with cancer of the stomach. During prayer for healing on the fourth night of the crusade, she felt that Jesus had healed her. The next day, a doctor confirmed there was no more cancer, and she testified on the final night of the crusade!



 ​
A man came forward, testifying that he had been blind since 2019, but received healing on the final night of the crusade!

We hope you enjoy these incredible testimonies and reports from our guest evangelists throughout Operation Decapolis! Thank you again for your prayers and support, and we are looking forward to our Flagship crusade in Kumasi, Ghana, with Evangelist Daniel Kolenda November 10-13, 2022!

 ​

Together in the harvest,

The Ministry of Christ for all Nations"

Over this Next Decade (2020-2030), by Unity, Multiplication, and Collaboration, they plan to reach 150 MN Souls for Christ!

Let's Pray we see Great Unity in Christendom in order to reap rich fruits from the Harvest Field for Jesus Christ Our Lord.

THE VISION

HOW WE ARE REACHING 150 MILLION SOULS FOR CHRIST
One of the things I loved and admired about Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke was that he was a visionary. He was a forward-looking and forward-thinking man. On more than one occasion, I remember Reinhard, while preaching a sermon, stopping mid-sentence, turning toward me sitting on the front row, pointing his finger at me and saying in a commanding tone, “Daniel, you are not to become the custodian of my legacy. Preach the Gospel!” That was his admonition to me.
What he was saying – and what he did say many times – was that this was not about his name or his legacy. It wasn’t about building some kind of monument to him. Although we love Reinhard Bonnke and we never want to forget the extraordinary way his life impacted our generation, we honour him most by pressing forward with the same spirit that characterised his life, which was embracing the heavenly vision for the sake of souls.
And so, I think it is very appropriate here, by way of tribute to Reinhard, to talk about the future of the ministry he founded and invested his life into. Reinhard has passed on, but this is not the end – we are just getting started!
A TALE OF THREE DREAMS
Daniel Kolenda shares how God planted this prophetic vision in his heart and outlines his divinely- inspired strategy for bringing that vision into reality. Our prayer is that as you watch, you too will dream God-sized dreams with us and then, prayerfully join us in its implementation. The harvest is more plentiful than ever. All that is needed to bring it into the storehouses of heaven, is workers. With your help, CfaN can and will bridge the labour shortage to plunder hell and populate heaven for Calvary’s sake!
THE INVITATION AND NEED
There are very few things in life that are truly worthwhile. As John reminds us, “…the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever” (1 John 2:17). What is the will of God? Peter makes it clear that God is, “…not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). There is nothing dearer to the heart of God than souls. Daniel said, “…Those who turn many to righteousness, [will shine] like the stars forever and ever” (Daniel 12:3). If you’ve been looking for something to invest in that pays eternal dividends – look no further. I cannot imagine a better investment in this world!
Leonard Ravenhill said, “The opportunity of a lifetime must be seized in the lifetime of the opportunity.” I believe the harvest that lies before us is not only the opportunity of a lifetime, but the opportunity of the ages. I want to invite you to stand with us and seize this moment for Calvary’s sake! I am asking you to make a commitment that for the next decade, you will stand with Christ for all Nations to see this massive harvest come in. Would you stand with us?
HERE ARE THREE WAYS YOU CAN HELP! >>
A DECADE OF DOUBLE HARVEST
In 1987 (for the purpose of our local Church follow-up system) Christ for all Nations began tracking the individual new converts being saved in our crusades. Thirty years later (in 2017) the ministry reached a 75-million milestone. That’s when the Lord began to clearly speak to me about a “Decade of Double Harvest.” In other words, if we would grab hold of this word by faith, we could see the number of people saved double from 75 million in the first thirty years to 150 million in the next ten!
Now, if you think 150 million souls sounds incredible, I don’t blame you. Admittedly, these are massive numbers. But believe it or not, these numbers were not even the most exciting part of what the Lord showed me. I believe that, in this next decade, God will use CfaN to spark the greatest movement of world evangelism in history. Thousands of men and women like Reinhard Bonnke will arise and preach this Gospel throughout the world before Jesus returns. Hallelujah!
HOLY SPIRIT MULTIPLICATION
You might ask, “How is this possible? Do you plan to conduct larger campaigns than ever? Or more campaigns than ever?” The answer to that is actually, “Yes.” We will conduct more campaigns this year than ever before. Also, I do believe we are going to see the largest campaigns we have ever seen. Even this coming year, I believe the campaigns in Africa will go to a new level; and there are some really exciting things happening on that front. But what’s more – and this is really what I want to tell you about – the Lord showed me that these results would come, not simply through addition, but by multiplication. We are going to multiply by training, equipping and launching thousands of evangelists. In fact, we’ve already been doing this on a small scale for the last couple years; and the results we’ve seen have been astonishing."

Yup, we can all pray for them. And yes, it's great to see the great works of God reaching the farthest ends of the Earth.

My opinion is, at the rate they're going, they'll probably have 100 MN documented decisions for Christ, maybe in a year or 2.

The transformation of Africa for Christ in general has been Amazing. Many thought missionaries could never succeed there.

But by God's Grace, Christ has succeeded in Africa today! And is enthroned as Lord and Savior in Millions of Hearts.

In 1900, there were 10 MN Christians in Africa. Today, there are 700 MN. Praise the Lord! What an amazing turnaround!

God Bless.
