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.
