Reinhard Bonnke, a German
Christian evangelist, who is credited to have overseen the recorded conversion
of 77 million people to Christianity is dead.
Bonnke passed on Saturday at the
age of 79.
“Dear Brothers and Sisters in
Christ, it is with sorrow that the Bonnke Family would like to announce the
passing of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Evangelist Reinhard
Bonnke,” Anni Bonnke said in a statement on Saturday afternoon.
“He passed away peacefully,
surrounded by his family, on December 7, 2019. For the past 60 years he has
preached the glorious Gospel of Jesus throughout the entire world.
“We want to thank you on behalf
of him and our family, for your kind love and unwavering support, which enabled
him to preach the matchless message of salvation to countless people.”
Bonnke founded the international
ministry of Christ for all Nations (CfaN) over 45 years ago, and currently has
offices in the United States, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Czech Republic, United
Kingdom, Nigeria, South Africa, Singapore, Australia, and Hong Kong.
Since 1987, through a host of
major events in Africa and other parts of the world, the ministry has recorded
more than 77 million documented decisions for Jesus Christ.
Bonnke has held many crusades in
Nigeria, drawing his largest audience in a single crusade in Lagos in the early
2000s.
