Reinhard Bonnke's Africa - Charismatic (Matthew 28:18-20)

Source: Contemporary illustration79 words

Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke held crusades across Africa for decades. His organization estimates 79 million people recorded decisions for Christ. Critics questioned the numbers; Bonnke just kept preaching. He believed the Great Commission was meant to be fulfilled with power: healings, deliverances, miracles drawing crowds. "All authority in heaven and earth"—Bonnke expected that authority to be demonstrated. Whether you agree with his methods, his confidence was striking: Jesus meant what He said. Go. Make disciples. ALL nations. With supernatural backing.
