hello everyone this is Daniel kolenda and today I want to tell you the story of three dreams two of these dreams were actual literal dreams in the night both of them came to run our bunkie but in two very different seasons of life the first when he was very young just starting out in ministry and the other near the end of his life in ministry the first dream is well known the other is not but both I believe are highly prophetic and these two dreams are like golden bookends that encapsulate the life and legacy of one of God's greatest generals but moreover and this is the purpose of this video they lead us to a third dream that I want to share with you in a moment my dream the year was 1972 Reinhard Bonnke was a 32 year old missionary in lassoo to a small mountainous nation landlocked by South Africa Reinhard's ministry had been very difficult up to this point there wasn't very much fruit he said that on one occasion he travelled a whole day to reach a village and when he arrived only five people attended the meeting and no one got saved his heart was troubled he knew there must be more than this he would cry out Oh Lord this cannot be it this cannot be the impact of the glorious gospel it was a very difficult season in his life in ministry but then one night he had a dream that changed everything he saw a gigantic map of the African continent and as he watched it became washed in the precious blood of Jesus from south to north and from west to east and then he heard a mighty voice cried from Cape Town to Cairo all Africa shall be saved and he woke up was shaken what a wonderful dream but then as logical German brain caught up with him he thought to himself my ministry has no impact in this tiny little nation and now I hear all of Africa shall be saved something's wrong I must have eaten some bad bananas but Reinhard had that same dream the next night and the next night in the one after and after night number four he said to his wife Annie I think God is trying to tell me something in response to that dream Christ for all nations was born round our bonky together with his wife Annie and their small children embarked on an adventure that would see millions of people come to Christ and multitudes more empowered and equipped to preach the gospel Africa shall be saved became a battle cry for Reinhard Bonnke in a phrase that came to be synonymous with his life in the ministry of christ all nations during Reinhardt's life his ministry saw more than 75 million people come to christ in a thirty year window just between 1987 and 2017 and by the time he died a couple years later that number had reached 79 million 1 million salvations on average for every year of his life what an amazing legacy but you know there are many more than 79 million souls in Africa not to mention the fact that many African nations especially in the north of the continent were not open to Ron our bunkie in fact on one scouting trip to North Africa he was arrested put in jail and then deported he also had been called to China a little-known fact and had a worldwide harvest in his heart which is why he named his ministry Christ for all the nations as fruitful as banquise ministry was surely there's a greater fulfillment yet to come and that brings us to the second dream in 2012 Ron are bulky and I were both preaching at the BFP annual convention in Germany in the night he had a dream that he shared with me the next morning at breakfast and then he repeated it that evening at the conference he said that his dream was so real he wasn't sure if he was asleep or awake in fact he didn't know if it was a dream or a vision he said he was projected into the future where he overheard two personalities talking they were discussing amazing things going on in the world at the time but there was one thing of particular interest to Reinhard one of the voices asked what ever happened to Ron her bunkie her reply was this Orion her bunkie was just the forerunner of a whole generation of holy spirit evangelists and then he woke up Reinhard lived with an awareness that he needed to impart something to the next generation for the sake of this great coming harvest and that's why he wrote books he produced media he held fire conferences and he preached relentlessly during the last few years of his life one of his favorite themes was passing the torch to the next generation he reached about it often as he visited many countries for the last time and this is where we come to my dream in 2017 the Lord began to speak to me about the upcoming decade as a decade of double harvest I had no idea at the time that Ron our bunkie would pass away less than a month before the beginning of the decade what I felt in my heart was that over the next 10 years or so God would double the number of soul saved to well over a hundred and fifty million in other words he would do in the next 10 years what had taken the previous 30 years combined it would be a supernatural acceleration of the harvest in this crucial hour of history but that double harvest is not the dream oh no that acceleration will simply be the catalyst for an exponentially greater harvest perhaps the greatest evangelistic movement the world has ever known propelling that whole new generation of holy spirit evangelists into the fields before Jesus returns now maybe you ask how is this possible do you plan to have larger Crusades than ever or do you plan to conduct more Crusades than ever and while we're on the subject the answer to that is actually yes I do believe we're going to see the largest Crusades we've ever seen and the Lord has given us some very specific direction on that and we're already seeing a stirring on the ground in Africa as never before also we are dramatically increasing the number of Crusades in Africa the most we've ever conducted in a year is eight Crusades but in 2020 the first year of the double harvest rata G we've increased to 13 Crusades the next year it will increase again to 23 Crusades and the following year it will nearly double again with 43 Crusades in one year these are SI phan gospel Crusades in Africa where I will personally preach now as exciting as all of this is the Lord showed me that this exponential increase would come not simply through addition that is not just because SI phan is conducting more Crusades and bigger Crusades but it would come through multiplication the two words the Lord gave me the words that are ringing in my heart the keys to seeing this dream of a worldwide harvest become reality are these multiplied and collaborate first let's start with the concept of multiplication our strategy is simple but powerful we're gonna multiply by training equipping and launching thousands of evangelists in fact we've already been doing this in a small scale for the last couple of years ever since the Lord spoke to me in 2017 our ministry has reconfigured everything to accommodate this word we've been experimenting testing improving and perfecting the system that will become the incubation chamber for this multiplication now I haven't talked publicly about this very much because I wanted to test these ideas first and make sure that they work and what you may not realize is that we have already been seeing remarkable results and now we have a tried and verified proof of concept and so now for the first time we're presenting the strategy of the decade of double harvest and beyond this is the dream burning in my heart and I believe that once you see it it's going to burning your heart as well although we have trained thousands of students through our school of evangelism throughout the years in January of 2020 Christ for all nations launched its very first evangelism boot camp in Orlando Florida this is a six-month highly intensive specific training for crusade evangelism it's much more than a school as its name implies it combines the intensity of a military boot camp with the focused instruction of a trade school in boot camp students are challenged physically mentally spiritually and academically we emphasize physical fitness spiritual formation character development as well as focusing on the theological foundations of evangelism students are trained to preach the gospel heal the sick cast out demons and bring multitudes into the experience of the holy spirit on crusade platforms in the third world they learn how to preach cross culturally give effective altar calls work with interpreters and everything else needed to minister powerfully as evangelists in addition we teach the students all the practical skills that they simply cannot find anywhere things like crusade organizing fundraising and crusade finances working with local pastors follow-up new converts the ins and outs of international travel how to run an evangelistic ministry publicity and advertising Direct Mail media television social media web printing and publishing and much much more the six month training culminates with a three week initiation on the field in Africa where students will conduct hundreds of campaigns and Crusades and lead hundreds of thousands of people to Christ after graduation these students are invited to work alongside the Christ for all nations team worldwide to multiply the harvest over the next decade at the moment we offer them several levels of participation the first area of participation for co evangelists is what we call pre crusade mobilization for six to seven weeks leading up to one of our masks cosmic Crusades we are sending these co evangelists into the region where our Crusades are being held they're able to go into smaller villages where our big Crusades can't go they go to markets schools hospitals and prisons they hold Crusades on street corners and in football stadiums they go to local churches and minister one-on-one everywhere they go just to give you an example of how this works in 2019 we went to Nakuru in Kenya a third of the population of the entire city showed up on the last night of our meetings there it was amazing but even before I arrived for seven weeks leading up to the crusade we had a team of four evangelists on the ground preaching the gospel day in and day out between the four of them they conducted up to 32 outreaches per day and over those seven weeks prior to the crusade they ministered in 611 outreaches and led more than 200 thousand people to Christ I believe the days are coming when more people will be saved before the Crusades than during them and not because the Crusades are small but because there is such a movement of evangelism swirling around the Crusades they actually become the catalyst for something even greater than themselves Nakuru Kenya was just one of many such pre crusade mobilization initiatives that we've conducted in several cities and countries that have resulted in hun of thousands of salvations and so far this has only been the beta test how have we been able to get such amazing results through this precursor mobilization system we have three strategies number one gospel trucks in Africa our talented team of world-class technicians has built a fleet of custom-made mobile crusade units affectionately known as gospel trucks these trucks are designed for the rugged African terrain they're able to access the most difficult areas and we're able to preach the gospel everywhere now it's important to understand that these are not just hit-and-run evangelistic outreach 'as our gospel trucks are connected with the main Crusades organizing team so that each village outreach has participating churches where new converts can be connected asurs counselors they preach with interpreters they are partner with local pastors and sometimes even have local worship teams cooperating these are literally smaller Crusades that happen all over the place number two is school outreaches the median age in Africa is under 20 years old this fact combined with the reality that most people to make a decision to follow Christ do so in their youth make schools a prime target for evangelism now many people are under the impression that schools are off-limits for the gospel but see fans impeccable reputation of integrity for over 40 years of ministry in Africa has given our teams access to many thousands of schools in Nakuru Kenya of the city I mentioned earlier where we saw over 200,000 salvations in seven weeks our team ministered in hundreds of schools but here's the amazing part there are over 33,000 schools in Kenya alone and they're all open to us but it's not just Kenya that's open schools in many nations across Africa are open to us we just haven't have the time or the manpower to reach them now imagine if we could take the gospel to every one of those schools it would result in many millions of salvations per year but here's the crazy part even if we had the personnel to reach all of those schools in Africa every four years we would have to start over because they'd be filled with a whole new group of students this part of the vision is infinitely scalable all we're lacking is workers it's exactly what Jesus said the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few the third way is one on one you know everywhere these evangelists go they're trained to preach the gospel heal the sick and cast out demons whether they're standing on a platform in front of thousands or talking to the waitress at a restaurant to the staff in the hotel a flight attendant at the airport or people they need on the street everywhere they go they are bringing the power of the gospel into people's lives this is both organic and organized because in addition to the normal daily encounters they have on the way we also organize outreaches in public places where they witness one-on-one to people shopping in the markets or congregating in busy parts of town together these three strategies the gospel trucks school outreaches and one-on-one evangelism guarantee that even before the first day of one of our massive gospel Crusades the region has been shaken by the power of the gospel for several weeks leading up to it now this pre crusade mobilization initiative is just one of several strategies connected to the decade of double harvest I'm gonna briefly mention three others that represent the many different ways that our co evangelists will multiply the harvest operation - capitalists stand alone outreaches and stand alone Crusades the word Decapolis means ten cities the operation to capitalist strategy is designed to harness the potential of the evangelism bootcamp graduates working together with these graduates we conduct campaigns of 10 Crusades in 10 cities over a two-week period the Crusades in each city last five or six days our Christ for all nations organizers technicians and support staff prepare these Crusades with the co evangelists who are the graduates of the boot camp and these guys carry the majority of the ministry each day I travel to a new city where a crusade is already ongoing I preach one night in each place and that I move on to the next with this strategy we are able to harness all of the tools SI phan has for conducting effective gospel Crusades while increasing the reach and scope of our work tenfold without adding any additional time or expense it's true multiplication next is what I'm calling standalone outreaches I believe that the harvest is so ripe that not only in Africa but around the world our village Crusades gospel trucks school outreaches and so on will not be limited to pre crusade mobilization in other words all of the above initiatives can be carried out independent of our mass gospel Crusades we're soon going to be sending teams at all times of the year to many different regions including other parts of the world I envision a day that these initiatives will be ongoing every day all over the world finally there are standalone Crusades now we've already been doing this for a long time we've been helping students who graduated from our evangelism schools to conduct their own Crusades in many different parts of the world and we do this by offering them support in logistics in training and resources even funding their Crusades from time to time and through these Crusades we have literally seen millions of people come to Christ in many places of the world without having any known connection to the SI phan name because you see our primary goal is not to get the credit for the harvest but to help push it forward in any way possible in addition to all of this one inevitable effect would be that many of these evangelists will launch out on their own we're training them and equipping them to do course a ministry not just in theory but in working with Christ for all nations on the field I cannot imagine a more effective on-the-job training opportunity the results of this ongoing harvest will be literally incalculable for a number of years I've been hearing prophetic words about a billion soul harvest that's coming there was a time when I dismissed these prophecies as dramatic hyper faith rhetoric but not anymore I really believe it's possible and I want to show you just how possible it is through multiplication now for those of you that are numbers people like me consider this if I had two thousand evangelists each of which was committed to five outreaches per year and in each outreach they led just ten thousand people to Christ now these are very conservative numbers by the way as we've proven over and over but even so that would equal one hundred million people saved per year multiply that over ten years and you have a billion souls and this is why in addition to the 40-plus Crusades that Christ for all nations will be conducting each year in Africa my goal is to raise up train and equip 2,000 crusade evangelists over the next decade this is what I mean when I say that the decade of double harvest has only beginning a catalyst for the greatest movement of world evangelism in history this is what I believe Ron Hurd dreamt about when he heard that voice saying Ryan our bunkie was just a forerunner of a holy generation of holy spirit evangelists this is how I believe the fulfillment of the vision of a blood washed Africa from Cape Town to Cairo and beyond would be fulfilled now the other word the Lord gave me was collaborate in the past evangelists were seen as lone Ranger's who were unwilling or perhaps unable to work together and this is changing in our time and indeed it must change if we're gonna see this great end time harvest reaped I've had experiences in Africa where we needed to move crusade dates or venues because other evangelists were in the same place at the same time we were stepping on each other because of a lack of communication but the world is a huge place there's no reason that we should be tripping over each other in some regions while other places are completely neglected imagine if rather than interfering with one another we actually began to work together synergizing our efforts and resources for human greater impact also in my experience evangelists are often very lonely one evangelist called me recently to tell me about a crusade he just returned from and after many wonderful testimonies of what God had done there there was a silence he said you know sometimes I just feel so lonely I don't even know who to tell about what God was doing he said I just needed someone to talk to evangelists need community just like everyone else they need a community to belong to and colleagues to encourage them and to hold them accountable and this is where collaboration comes into play as one of the most influential evangelistic ministries in the world Christ for all nations is committed to using that influence to help other ministries and bring evangelists together in Kingdom collaborations for the sake of the harvest here are just three examples of this collaboration concept number one is the global evangelist alliance Gea in 2017 under the umbrella of empowered 21 SI phan was commissioned by apostolic leaders around the world to establish the global evangelist alliance in May of 2018 we brought together some of the most influential evangelists in the world to form an Executive Council under which there is representation from every region in the world and we're working towards having members in every city in the world working together and collaborating to reap the harvest through the global evangelist alliance ordinary men and women with a heart for the lost have access to other evangelists in the Alliance all over the world someone with a bird and for Myanmar or Peru will be able to connect with other Gea members there or anywhere else in the world and every year Gea leadership and members meet together for a town of inspiration training fellowship and strategy imagine evangelists conspiring together to shake entire nations with the gospel by bringing together men and women with the same burden and passion we are facilitating collaborations that will result in a massive harvest number two is the scent in February of 2018 just three days after the death of Billy Graham a small group of men met right here at the Christ for all nations headquarters in Orlando to talk about collaborating together for the sake of sparking a worldwide missions movement out of that meeting the send was born together with these other six ministries I and Christ for all nations comprised one of the seven collaborators that lead the send our first gathering was in Orlando in February 2018 nearly 60,000 people most of them youth gathered together at Camping World Stadium for twelve hours of Prayer the preaching of the gospel and commissioning to the mission field as a result more than 2,500 people received Christ but also 5423 committed to go to the nations as missionaries 2467 adopted schools to evangelize 5064 adopted a neighborhood to evangelize 2197 adopted a college campus to evangelize 18,000 196 committed to fast and pray for the harvest and hundreds enrolled in Bible schools and trading around the world the second gathering took place in February of 2020 in Brazil first we rented the largest stadium in Sao Paulo which is the marimba stadium which seats 70,000 people when registrations opened its sold-out in six hours beating the stadium's previous record for sellout time we decided to rent the second largest stadium in the city as well it sold out in three days so we took a leap of faith and we rented a third Stadium in Brasilia the capital and on February 8th I preached to 140,000 people across three stadiums in two different cities within eight hours while I was driving to that second Stadium I heard the Lord speak to me he gave me the words of Amos 913 which says behold the days are coming declares the Lord and the ploughman will overtake the Reaper and the Treader of grapes him that shows the scene the mountains shall drip sweet wine and all the hills shall flow with it in Brazil we saw 7800 people give their lives to Christ but in addition 44,000 326 committed to fast and pray for 40 days 50,000 141 committed to immerse themselves in the Bible in 2020 10,000 916 adopted a university to evangelize 6949 adopted a school to evangelize 18,000 476 committed to go to the nation's as missionaries now the sin has only begun and we are heading to other cities and other nations in the world in the days to come we're believing God to send workers into the harvest this is just one more way that we are working to obey the word to collaborate number three is the Christ for all nations evangelism Alliance pressure all nations has held dozens of schools of evangelism in many different nations of the world now with boot camp and other training initiatives the community of evangelists that belong to the CFN family has grown into the thousands we offer these graduates the opportunity to remain connected to see fan for ongoing training resourcing and collaboration this happens to the Christ for all nations evangelism clients now here's what all this means to me personally I became the successor of Ryan our bond came when I was just 28 years old it's an understatement to say that I felt unqualified and out of my depth at times I wondered why God had chose me for this job and I didn't ask for this assignment I never even saw it coming never once have I believed that God put me in this position for my own personal benefit and I didn't inherit this ministry because of any family relation I've never felt entitled to it nor do I believe that my calling is just to maintain Ryan our banquise ministry for another 50 years I can remember on more than one occasion Reinhardt while preaching a sermon stopping mid-sentence turning to me sitting on the front row pointing his finger at me and saying in a commanding tone Daniel you are not to become the custodian of my legacy preach the gospel what he was saying and what he did say many times was that he had no desire just to perpetuate his ministry for the sake of his legacy that was not why we are here no in this next season God will use this incredible platform Reinhardt and Auntie bunkie and many others spent a lifetime building to launch that new generation of holy spirit evangelists into the nations in conclusion here is my invitation to you there are a few things in this life that are truly worthwhile as John reminds us the world's passing away along with its desires but whoever does the will of God abides forever what is the will of God Peter makes it clear that God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance and there's nothing dearer to the heart of God than Souls Daniel said those that turn many to righteousness will shine like the Stars forever and ever if you've been looking for something to invest in that pays eternal dividends I can imagine no better investment in this world letter Ravenhill said the opportunity of a lifetime must be seized during the lifetime of the opportunity I believe the harvest that lies before us is not only the opportunity of a lifetime but the opportunity of the ages and I want to invite you to stand with us and seize this moment for Calvary sake I'm asking you to make a commitment that for the next 10 years for the next decade the decade of double harvest you will stand with Christ for all nations to see this massive harvest coming would you do that stand with us here are three ways that we need your help number one is pray we need your prayers you know we are in a very real battle and there is very real resistance we are pressing forward with all the grace that God has given us but we need your prayers for the SI phan team and our families spread out around the world with offices in 12 countries and 6 continents number 2 is serve some of you may be called to join this army of evangelist being sent out into the harvest fields maybe you know someone who's called in to mass crusade evangelism I know of no better way to launch them then through the Christ for all nations training and especially the boot camp you could find out more about it on the website on your screen and number three is give our urgent need at the moment is for a training facility we're utilizing our offices in Orlando at the moment but because of space constraints we've only been able to accept 50 students out of hundreds of applicants we need to take the lid off quickly if we're gonna be able to fulfill this vision that God has given us there are also a number of other highly strategic ways that you can give toward the harvest from sponsoring students in need to the purchasing of gospel trucks to the financing of Crusades we need your help to see how you can sow into the harvest visit the website on your screen you know years ago we used to sing a song by Robert Critchley that said we are dreamers of impossible dreams walking by faith in what is yet unseen number us Lord with those that dare to believe that we can live in your impossible dream little did I know back then how important it would be to see what is yet unseen and to take hold of these God dreams by faith and I believe that we could see the impossible become possible in our day we can live this Impossible Dream for the glory of God and for the sake of souls thank you for standing with us the best is yet to come you
