Evangelist Daniel Kolenda and the Christ for All Nation’s (CfaN) team will celebrate Founder’s Day this December 6th. The day honors CfaN’s remarkable founder, Reinhard Bonnke, and his wife of 55 years, Anni. Born in Königsberg, East Prussia, Germany in 1940, Reinhard committed his life to Jesus at the tender age of nine and soon after began telling his family he would one day serve as a missionary in Africa. In 1967, he and his young family answered that call and moved to the mountain kingdom of Lesotho, nestled deep within South Africa. Initially he was frustrated by the slow pace of salvations. But it was there that God began to give Evangelist Bonnke dreams of a map of Africa covered in the blood of Jesus and the voice of God declaring, “Africa shall be saved!”
