NO fewer than 30 million people from Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Togo, Benin, Mali and other nations across Africa are expected at
the farewell crusade of renowned global evangelist, Rev Reinhard Bonnke, slated
for Nigeria....
Reinhard Bonnke The five-day crusade was designed to liberate the
nation and her people from social vices, including corruption. Speaking ahead
of the programme scheduled for November 8 to 12 in Lagos, Chairman, Central
Working Committee, Reinhard Bonnke’s Farewell Crusade 2017, Apostle Alexander
Bamgbola, said the programme will be complemented by a major sideline event
tagged, ‘Passing the Burning Torch.’ According to him, “Nigeria has great
potentials but it’s being held down by demonic forces militating against it,
the result is what we see as social vices that have held down economic growth.
Inflation has remained high at double digit, just as unemployment rate ensures
that more than 29 million employable youths remain jobless.” Apostle Bamgbola
outlined that the global evangelist had also identified that a number of
kidnapping cases in Nigeria; rising incidences of armed robbery as well as rape
and sexual harassments, against minors are becoming daily occurrences. The CWC
chairman also said the nation’s Millennium Development Goals, MDGs, were rested
in 2015 with not much success, pointing out that 65 per cent of Nigerians still
remained in poverty. He said: “Only six of every 10 Nigerian children were in
school; combat against HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases, mortality of
mothers, and of Children under five years was merely tolerable. “There was no
progress in efforts to provide access to safe drinking water for all or to
significantly stem erosion and coastal flooding. Clearly, pursuing material and
physical projects without combatting the spiritual underpinnings, will
eventually end up feeble and of non-effects eventually. “At this conference,
hundreds of thousands of willing ministers of God in Africa are expected to
literally catch the Reinhard Bonnke’s Fire For Greater Exploits. Bonnke’s
choice of Nigeria to stage the final lap of his large-scale global evangelism
outreach is God-ordained and, therefore, it will be explosive.” According to
him, the last time Bonnke visited the country was eight years ago and many
people can testify to the glorious work that God used him to do, stressing that
God has specifically detailed the German evangelist to be God’s mighty
instrument in healing the land. “He is coming here for a farewell crusade, that
will bring succour to troubled souls in the country to set the numerous
captives free, because God wants to restore hope and cleanse the air from
spiritual pollution,” Bamgbola said. Corroborating his view, Africa Director of
Reinhard Bonnke Crusade, Rev. John Darku, urged the current and future
generation to get ready to take the baton from Evangelist Bonnke as he will be
passing the burning torch.
