  1. 0:04hello everyone this is Daniel kolenda
  2. 0:07and today I want to tell you the story
  3. 0:09of three dreams two of these dreams were
  4. 0:12actual literal dreams in the night both
  5. 0:15of them came to run our bunkie but in
  6. 0:17two very different seasons of life the
  7. 0:19first when he was very young just
  8. 0:20starting out in ministry and the other
  9. 0:22near the end of his life in ministry the
  10. 0:25first dream is well known the other is
  11. 0:26not but both I believe are highly
  12. 0:29prophetic and these two dreams are like
  13. 0:31golden bookends that encapsulate the
  14. 0:34life and legacy of one of God's greatest
  15. 0:36generals but moreover and this is the
  16. 0:38purpose of this video they lead us to a
  17. 0:40third dream that I want to share with
  18. 0:42you in a moment my dream the year was
  19. 0:451972 Reinhard Bonnke was a 32 year old
  20. 0:48missionary in lassoo to a small
  21. 0:50mountainous nation landlocked by South
  22. 0:52Africa Reinhard's ministry had been very
  23. 0:54difficult up to this point there wasn't
  24. 0:56very much fruit he said that on one
  25. 0:58occasion he travelled a whole day to
  26. 0:59reach a village and when he arrived only
  27. 1:02five people attended the meeting and no
  28. 1:04one got saved his heart was troubled he
  29. 1:07knew there must be more than this he
  30. 1:09would cry out Oh Lord this cannot be it
  31. 1:11this cannot be the impact of the
  32. 1:14glorious gospel it was a very difficult
  33. 1:16season in his life in ministry but then
  34. 1:18one night he had a dream that changed
  35. 1:20everything he saw a gigantic map of the
  36. 1:23African continent and as he watched it
  37. 1:26became washed in the precious blood of
  38. 1:28Jesus from south to north and from west
  39. 1:31to east and then he heard a mighty voice
  40. 1:33cried from Cape Town to Cairo all Africa
  41. 1:37shall be saved and he woke up was shaken
  42. 1:40what a wonderful dream but then as
  43. 1:43logical German brain caught up with him
  44. 1:45he thought to himself my ministry has no
  45. 1:47impact in this tiny little nation and
  46. 1:49now I hear all of Africa shall be saved
  47. 1:51something's wrong I must have eaten some
  48. 1:54bad bananas but Reinhard had that same
  49. 1:56dream
  50. 1:57the next night and the next night in the
  51. 1:59one after and after night number four he
  52. 2:01said to his wife Annie I think God is
  53. 2:03trying to tell me something in response
  54. 2:06to that dream Christ for all nations was
  55. 2:08born
  56. 2:09round our bonky together with his wife
  57. 2:10Annie and their small children
  58. 2:12embarked on an adventure that would see
  59. 2:14millions of people come to Christ and
  60. 2:16multitudes more empowered and equipped
  61. 2:18to preach the gospel Africa shall be
  62. 2:20saved
  63. 2:21became a battle cry for Reinhard Bonnke
  64. 2:24and a phrase that came to be synonymous
  65. 2:26with his life in the ministry of Christ
  66. 2:27for all nations during Reinhart's life
  67. 2:30his ministry saw more than 75 million
  68. 2:34people come to christ in a thirty year
  69. 2:36window just between 1987 and 2017 and by
  70. 2:40the time he died a couple years later
  71. 2:42that number had reached 79 million 1
  72. 2:46million salvations on average for every
  73. 2:48year of his life what an amazing legacy
  74. 2:51but you know there are many more than 79
  75. 2:53million souls in Africa not to mention
  76. 2:55the fact that many African nations
  77. 2:56especially in the north of the continent
  78. 2:59were not open to Ron our bunkie in fact
  79. 3:01on one scouting trip to North Africa he
  80. 3:03was arrested put in jail and then
  81. 3:05deported he also had been called to
  82. 3:08China a little-known fact and had a
  83. 3:10worldwide harvest in his heart which is
  84. 3:12why he named his ministry Christ for all
  85. 3:14the nations as fruitful as banquise
  86. 3:17ministry was surely there's a greater
  87. 3:19fulfillment yet to come and that brings
  88. 3:21us to the second dream in 2012 Ron are
  89. 3:24bulky and I were both preaching at the
  90. 3:26BFP annual convention in Germany in the
  91. 3:29night he had a dream that he shared with
  92. 3:30me the next morning at breakfast and
  93. 3:32then he repeated it that evening at the
  94. 3:34conference he said that his dream was so
  95. 3:36real he wasn't sure if he was asleep or
  96. 3:38awake in fact he didn't know if it was a
  97. 3:40dream or a vision he said he was
  98. 3:42projected into the future
  99. 3:44where he overheard two personalities
  100. 3:47talking they were discussing amazing
  101. 3:49things going on in the world at the time
  102. 3:50but there was one thing of particular
  103. 3:52interest to Reinhard one of the voices
  104. 3:54asked what ever happened to Ron her
  105. 3:56bunkie her reply was this Orion her
  106. 3:59bunkie was just the forerunner of a
  107. 4:02whole generation of holy spirit
  108. 4:04evangelists and then he woke up Reinhard
  109. 4:07lived with an awareness that he needed
  110. 4:09to impart something to the next
  111. 4:11generation for the sake of this great
  112. 4:13coming harvest and that's why he wrote
  113. 4:14books he produced media he held fire
  114. 4:17conferences and he preached relentlessly
  115. 4:19during the last few years of his life
  116. 4:21one of his favorite themes was passing
  117. 4:23the torch to the next generation he
  118. 4:25reached about it often as he visited
  119. 4:27many countries for the last time and
  120. 4:29this is where we come to my dream in
  121. 4:322017 the Lord began to speak to me about
  122. 4:34the upcoming decade as a decade of
  123. 4:37double harvest I had no idea at the time
  124. 4:40that Ron our bunkie would pass away less
  125. 4:41than a month before the beginning of the
  126. 4:43decade what I felt in my heart was that
  127. 4:45over the next 10 years or so
  128. 4:47God would double the number of soul
  129. 4:49saved to well over a hundred and fifty
  130. 4:52million in other words he would do in
  131. 4:54the next 10 years what had taken the
  132. 4:56previous 30 years combined it would be a
  133. 4:59supernatural acceleration of the harvest
  134. 5:01in this crucial hour of history but that
  135. 5:04double harvest is not the dream
  136. 5:06oh no that acceleration will simply be
  137. 5:09the catalyst for an exponentially
  138. 5:11greater harvest perhaps the greatest
  139. 5:13evangelistic movement the world has ever
  140. 5:15known
  141. 5:15propelling that whole new generation of
  142. 5:18holy spirit evangelists into the fields
  143. 5:21before Jesus returns now maybe you ask
  144. 5:28how is this possible do you plan to have
  145. 5:31larger Crusades than ever or do you plan
  146. 5:33to conduct more Crusades than ever and
  147. 5:34while we're on the subject the answer to
  148. 5:36that is actually yes I do believe we're
  149. 5:39going to see the largest Crusades we've
  150. 5:40ever seen and the Lord has given us some
  151. 5:42very specific direction on that and
  152. 5:44we're already seeing a stirring on the
  153. 5:46ground in Africa as never before also we
  154. 5:49are dramatically increasing the number
  155. 5:51of Crusades in Africa the most we've
  156. 5:53ever conducted in a year is eight
  157. 5:55Crusades but in 2020 the first year of
  158. 5:57the double harvest rata G we've
  159. 5:59increased to 13 Crusades the next year
  160. 6:02it will increase again to 23 Crusades
  161. 6:04and the following year it will nearly
  162. 6:06double again with 43 Crusades in one
  163. 6:09year
  164. 6:10these are SI phan gospel Crusades in
  165. 6:11Africa where I will personally preach
  166. 6:13now as exciting as all of this is the
  167. 6:16Lord showed me that this exponential
  168. 6:18increase would come not simply through
  169. 6:20addition that is not just because SI
  170. 6:23phan is conducting more Crusades and
  171. 6:24bigger Crusades but it would come
  172. 6:26through multiplication the two words the
  173. 6:29Lord gave me the words that are ringing
  174. 6:31in my heart the keys to seeing this
  175. 6:33dream of a worldwide harvest become
  176. 6:35reality are these multiplied and
  177. 6:38collaborate first let's start with the
  178. 6:41concept of multiplication
  179. 6:43our strategy is simple but powerful
  180. 6:44we're gonna multiply by training
  181. 6:46equipping and launching thousands of
  182. 6:50evangelists in fact we've already been
  183. 6:52doing this in a small scale for the last
  184. 6:54couple of years ever since the Lord
  185. 6:56spoke to me in 2017 our ministry has
  186. 6:58reconfigured everything to accommodate
  187. 7:00this word we've been experimenting
  188. 7:02testing improving and perfecting the
  189. 7:04system that will become the incubation
  190. 7:06chamber for this multiplication now I
  191. 7:09haven't talked publicly about this very
  192. 7:10much because I wanted to test these
  193. 7:12ideas first and make sure that they work
  194. 7:15and what you may not realize is that we
  195. 7:17have already been seeing remarkable
  196. 7:19results and now we have a tried and
  197. 7:22verified proof of concept and so now for
  198. 7:25the first time we're presenting the
  199. 7:27strategy of the decade of double harvest
  200. 7:29and beyond this is the dream burning in
  201. 7:32my heart and I believe that once you see
  202. 7:34it it's going to burning your heart as
  203. 7:36well although we have trained thousands
  204. 7:39of students through our school of
  205. 7:40evangelism throughout the years in
  206. 7:42January of 2020 Christ for all nations
  207. 7:44launched its very first evangelism boot
  208. 7:47camp in Orlando Florida this is a
  209. 7:49six-month highly intense specific
  210. 7:52training for crusade evangelism it's
  211. 7:55much more than a school as its name
  212. 7:57implies it combines the intensity of a
  213. 7:59military boot camp with the focused
  214. 8:01instruction of a trade school in boot
  215. 8:04camp students are challenged physically
  216. 8:05mentally spiritually and academically we
  217. 8:09emphasize physical fitness spiritual
  218. 8:11formation character development as well
  219. 8:13as focusing on the theological
  220. 8:15foundations of evangelism students are
  221. 8:18trained to preach the gospel heal the
  222. 8:20sick cast out demons and bring
  223. 8:22multitudes into the experience of the
  224. 8:24holy spirit on crusade platforms in the
  225. 8:26third world they learn how to preach
  226. 8:28cross culturally give effective altar
  227. 8:30calls work with interpreters and
  228. 8:32everything else needed to minister
  229. 8:34powerfully as evangelists in addition we
  230. 8:37teach the students all the practical
  231. 8:38skills that they simply cannot find
  232. 8:40anywhere
  233. 8:41things like crusade organizing
  234. 8:43fundraising and crusade finances working
  235. 8:46with local pastors follow-up new
  236. 8:48converts the ins and outs of
  237. 8:50international travel how to run an
  238. 8:52evangelistic ministry publicity and
  239. 8:54advertising Direct Mail media television
  240. 8:57social media web printing and publishing
  241. 8:59and much much more the six month
  242. 9:03training culminates with a three week
  243. 9:05initiation on the field in Africa where
  244. 9:08students will conduct hundreds of
  245. 9:09campaigns and Crusades and lead hundreds
  246. 9:11of thousands of people to Christ after
  247. 9:14graduation
  248. 9:15these students are invited to work
  249. 9:16alongside the Christ for all nations
  250. 9:18team worldwide to multiply the harvest
  251. 9:20over the next decade at the moment we
  252. 9:28offer them several levels of
  253. 9:29participation the first area of
  254. 9:31participation for co evangelists is what
  255. 9:34we call pre crusade mobilization for six
  256. 9:37to seven weeks leading up to one of our
  257. 9:39masks cosmic Crusades we are sending
  258. 9:41these co evangelists into the region
  259. 9:42where our Crusades are being held
  260. 9:44they're able to go into smaller villages
  261. 9:46where our big Crusades can't go they go
  262. 9:48to markets schools hospitals and prisons
  263. 9:51they hold Crusades on street corners and
  264. 9:53in football stadiums they go to local
  265. 9:56churches and minister one-on-one
  266. 9:57everywhere they go just to give you an
  267. 9:59example of how this works in 2019 we
  268. 10:01went to Nakuru in Kenya a third of the
  269. 10:05population of the entire city showed up
  270. 10:06on the last night of our meetings there
  271. 10:08it was amazing but even before I arrived
  272. 10:10for seven weeks leading up to the
  273. 10:12crusade we had a team of four
  274. 10:14evangelists on the ground preaching the
  275. 10:16gospel day in and day out between the
  276. 10:18four of them they conducted up to 32
  277. 10:20outreaches per day and over those seven
  278. 10:22weeks prior to the crusade they
  279. 10:24ministered in 611 outreaches and led
  280. 10:27more than 200,000 people to Christ I
  281. 10:30believe the days are coming when more
  282. 10:32people will be saved before the Crusades
  283. 10:34than during them and not because the
  284. 10:36Crusades are small but because there is
  285. 10:38such a movement of evangelism swirling
  286. 10:40around the Crusades they actually become
  287. 10:42the catalyst for something even greater
  288. 10:44than themselves Nakuru Kenya was just
  289. 10:47one of many such pre crusade
  290. 10:49mobilization initiatives that we've
  291. 10:51conducted in several cities and
  292. 10:53countries that have resulted in hun
  293. 10:55of thousands of salvations and so far
  294. 10:57this has only been the beta test how
  295. 11:00have we been able to get such amazing
  296. 11:01results through this precursor
  297. 11:03mobilization system we have three
  298. 11:05strategies number one gospel trucks in
  299. 11:08Africa our talented team of world-class
  300. 11:10technicians has built a fleet of
  301. 11:12custom-made mobile crusade units
  302. 11:14affectionately known as gospel trucks
  303. 11:16these trucks are designed for the rugged
  304. 11:19African terrain they're able to access
  305. 11:20the most difficult areas and we're able
  306. 11:22to preach the gospel everywhere now it's
  307. 11:24important to understand that these are
  308. 11:26not just hit-and-run evangelistic
  309. 11:28outreach 'as our gospel trucks are
  310. 11:30connected with the main Crusades
  311. 11:31organizing team so that each village
  312. 11:34outreach has participating churches
  313. 11:36where new converts can be connected
  314. 11:37asurs counselors they preach with
  315. 11:39interpreters they are partner with local
  316. 11:41pastors and sometimes even have local
  317. 11:43worship teams cooperating these are
  318. 11:45literally smaller Crusades that happen
  319. 11:48all over the place
  320. 11:49number two is school outreaches the
  321. 11:51median age in Africa is under 20 years
  322. 11:54old this fact combined with the reality
  323. 11:57that most people to make a decision to
  324. 11:58follow Christ do so in their youth make
  325. 12:01schools a prime target for evangelism
  326. 12:03now many people are under the impression
  327. 12:04that schools are off-limits for the
  328. 12:06gospel but see fans impeccable
  329. 12:08reputation of integrity for over 40
  330. 12:10years of ministry in Africa has given
  331. 12:13our teams access to many thousands of
  332. 12:15schools in Nakuru Kenya of the city I
  333. 12:17mentioned earlier where we saw over
  334. 12:19200,000 salvations in seven weeks
  335. 12:20our team ministered in hundreds of
  336. 12:22schools but here's the amazing part
  337. 12:25there are over 33,000 schools in Kenya
  338. 12:28alone and they're all open to us but
  339. 12:31it's not just Kenya that's open schools
  340. 12:33in many nations across Africa are open
  341. 12:35to us we just haven't have the time or
  342. 12:37the manpower to reach them now imagine
  343. 12:40if we could take the gospel to every one
  344. 12:41of those schools it would result in many
  345. 12:43millions of salvations per year but
  346. 12:45here's the crazy part even if we had the
  347. 12:48personnel to reach all of those schools
  348. 12:50in Africa every four years we would have
  349. 12:52to start over because they'd be filled
  350. 12:54with a whole new group of students this
  351. 12:56part of the vision is infinitely
  352. 12:58scalable all we're lacking is workers
  353. 13:00it's exactly what Jesus said the harvest
  354. 13:02is plentiful but the workers are few
  355. 13:04the third way is one on one you know
  356. 13:07everywhere these evangelists go
  357. 13:08they're trained to preach the gospel
  358. 13:10heal the sick and cast out demons
  359. 13:11whether they're standing on a platform
  360. 13:13in front of thousands or talking to the
  361. 13:15waitress at a restaurant to the staff in
  362. 13:17the hotel a flight attendant at the
  363. 13:19airport or people they need on the
  364. 13:21street everywhere they go they are
  365. 13:23bringing the power of the gospel into
  366. 13:24people's lives this is both organic and
  367. 13:27organized because in addition to the
  368. 13:29normal daily encounters they have on the
  369. 13:31way we also organize outreaches in
  370. 13:33public places where they witness
  371. 13:35one-on-one to people shopping in the
  372. 13:36markets or congregating in busy parts of
  373. 13:38town together these three strategies the
  374. 13:41gospel trucks school outreaches and
  375. 13:43one-on-one evangelism guarantee that
  376. 13:46even before the first day of one of our
  377. 13:47massive gospel Crusades the region has
  378. 13:49been shaken by the power of the gospel
  379. 13:51for several weeks leading up to it now
  380. 13:54this pre crusade mobilization initiative
  381. 13:56is just one of several strategies
  382. 13:58connected to the decade of double
  383. 14:00harvest I'm gonna briefly mention three
  384. 14:03others that represent the many different
  385. 14:05ways that our co evangelists will
  386. 14:07multiply the harvest operation -
  387. 14:09capitalists stand alone outreaches and
  388. 14:11stand alone Crusades the word Decapolis
  389. 14:16means ten cities the operation to
  390. 14:18capitalist strategy is designed to
  391. 14:20harness the potential of the evangelism
  392. 14:22bootcamp graduates working together with
  393. 14:25these graduates we conduct campaigns of
  394. 14:2710 Crusades in 10 cities over a two-week
  395. 14:30period the Crusades in each city last
  396. 14:32five or six days our Christ for all
  397. 14:34nations organizers technicians and
  398. 14:37support staff prepare these Crusades
  399. 14:39with the co evangelists who are the
  400. 14:41graduates of the boot camp and these
  401. 14:43guys carry the majority of the ministry
  402. 14:45each day I travel to a new city where a
  403. 14:48crusade is already ongoing I preach one
  404. 14:50night in each place and that I move on
  405. 14:52to the next with this strategy we are
  406. 14:54able to harness all of the tools SI phan
  407. 14:57has for conducting effective gospel
  408. 14:59Crusades while increasing the reach and
  409. 15:02scope of our work tenfold without adding
  410. 15:05any additional time or expense it's true
  411. 15:07multiplication next is what I'm calling
  412. 15:10standalone outreaches I believe that the
  413. 15:12harvest is so ripe that not only in
  414. 15:14Africa but around the world
  415. 15:16our village Crusades gospel trucks
  416. 15:18school outreaches and so on
  417. 15:19will not be limited to pre crusade
  418. 15:21mobilization in other words all of the
  419. 15:23above initiatives can be carried out
  420. 15:25independent of our mass gospel Crusades
  421. 15:27we're soon going to be sending teams at
  422. 15:30all times of the year to many different
  423. 15:32regions including other parts of the
  424. 15:33world I envision a day that these
  425. 15:35initiatives will be ongoing every day
  426. 15:37all over the world
  427. 15:38finally there are standalone Crusades
  428. 15:41now we've already been doing this for a
  429. 15:43long time we've been helping students
  430. 15:45who graduated from our evangelism
  431. 15:46schools to conduct their own Crusades in
  432. 15:48many different parts of the world and we
  433. 15:50do this by offering them support in
  434. 15:52logistics in training and resources even
  435. 15:55funding their Crusades from time to time
  436. 15:57and through these Crusades we have
  437. 15:59literally seen millions of people come
  438. 16:01to Christ in many places of the world
  439. 16:03without having any known connection to
  440. 16:05the SI phan name because you see our
  441. 16:06primary goal is not to get the credit
  442. 16:08for the harvest but to help push it
  443. 16:10forward in any way possible in addition
  444. 16:12to all of this one inevitable effect
  445. 16:14would be that many of these evangelists
  446. 16:17will launch out on their own we're
  447. 16:18training them and equipping them to do
  448. 16:20course a ministry not just in theory but
  449. 16:22in working with Christ for all nations
  450. 16:24on the field I cannot imagine a more
  451. 16:26effective on-the-job training
  452. 16:28opportunity the results of this ongoing
  453. 16:30harvest will be literally incalculable
  454. 16:33for a number of years I've been hearing
  455. 16:35prophetic words about a billion soul
  456. 16:37harvest that's coming there was a time
  457. 16:39when I dismissed these prophecies as
  458. 16:41dramatic hyper faith rhetoric but not
  459. 16:43anymore I really believe it's possible
  460. 16:46and I want to show you just how possible
  461. 16:47it is through multiplication now for
  462. 16:50those of you that are numbers people
  463. 16:52like me consider this if I had 2,000
  464. 16:55evangelists each of which was committed
  465. 16:57to five outreaches per year and in each
  466. 17:00outreach they led just ten thousand
  467. 17:02people to Christ now these are very
  468. 17:04conservative numbers by the way as we've
  469. 17:05proven over and over but even so that
  470. 17:09would equal one hundred million people
  471. 17:11saved per year multiply that over ten
  472. 17:14years and you have a billion souls and
  473. 17:16this is why in addition to the 40-plus
  474. 17:19Crusades that Christ for all nations
  475. 17:20will be conducting each year in Africa
  476. 17:22my goal is to raise up train and equip
  477. 17:252,000 crusade evangelists over the next
  478. 17:28decade this is what I mean when I say
  479. 17:30that the decade of double harvest is
  480. 17:32only the
  481. 17:32getting a catalyst for the greatest
  482. 17:35movement of world evangelism in history
  483. 17:37this is what I believe Ron Hurd dreamt
  484. 17:39about when he heard that voice saying
  485. 17:41Ryan our bunkie was just a forerunner of
  486. 17:43a whole new generation of holy spirit
  487. 17:45evangelists this is how I believe the
  488. 17:48fulfillment of the vision of a blood
  489. 17:50washed Africa from Cape Town to Cairo
  490. 17:52and beyond would be fulfilled
  491. 17:54now the other word the Lord gave me was
  492. 17:57collaborate in the past evangelists were
  493. 17:59seen as lone Ranger's who were unwilling
  494. 18:01or perhaps unable to work together and
  495. 18:04this is changing in our time and indeed
  496. 18:06it must change if we're gonna see this
  497. 18:08great end time harvest reaped I've had
  498. 18:10experiences in Africa where we needed to
  499. 18:13move crusade dates or venues because
  500. 18:14other evangelists were in the same place
  501. 18:16at the same time we were stepping on
  502. 18:18each other because of a lack of
  503. 18:19communication but the world is a huge
  504. 18:22place there's no reason that we should
  505. 18:24be tripping over each other in some
  506. 18:25regions while other places are
  507. 18:27completely neglected imagine if rather
  508. 18:30than interfering with one another we
  509. 18:32actually began to work together
  510. 18:33synergizing our efforts and resources
  511. 18:35for human greater impact also in my
  512. 18:38experience evangelists are often very
  513. 18:40lonely one evangelist called me recently
  514. 18:42to tell me about a crusade he'd just
  515. 18:44returned from and after many wonderful
  516. 18:45testimonies of what God had done there
  517. 18:47there was a silence he said you know
  518. 18:50sometimes I just feel so lonely I don't
  519. 18:52even know who to tell about what God was
  520. 18:54doing he said I just needed someone to
  521. 18:56talk to
  522. 18:57evangelists need community just like
  523. 18:59everyone else they need a community to
  524. 19:01belong to and colleagues to encourage
  525. 19:03them and to hold them accountable and
  526. 19:05this is where collaboration comes into
  527. 19:07play as one of the most influential
  528. 19:09evangelistic ministries in the world
  529. 19:11Christ for all nations is committed to
  530. 19:13using that influence to help other
  531. 19:15ministries and bring evangelists
  532. 19:17together in Kingdom collaborations for
  533. 19:19the sake of the harvest here are just
  534. 19:21three examples of this collaboration
  535. 19:23concept number one is the global
  536. 19:27evangelist alliance
  537. 19:28Gea in 2017 under the umbrella of
  538. 19:31empowered 21 SI phan was commissioned by
  539. 19:34apostolic leaders around the world to
  540. 19:36establish the global evangelist alliance
  541. 19:38in May of 2018 we brought together some
  542. 19:41of the most influential evangelists in
  543. 19:43the world to form an Executive Council
  544. 19:44under which there is representation from
  545. 19:47every region in the world and we're
  546. 19:49working towards having members in every
  547. 19:51city in the world working together and
  548. 19:53collaborating to reap the harvest
  549. 19:55through the global evangelist alliance
  550. 19:57ordinary men and women with a heart for
  551. 19:59the lost have access to other
  552. 20:01evangelists in the Alliance all over the
  553. 20:03world someone with a bird and for
  554. 20:05Myanmar or Peru will be able to connect
  555. 20:08with other Gea members there or anywhere
  556. 20:10else in the world and every year Gea
  557. 20:13leadership and members meet together for
  558. 20:15a town of inspiration training
  559. 20:17fellowship and strategy imagine
  560. 20:19evangelists conspiring together to shake
  561. 20:21entire nations with the gospel by
  562. 20:23bringing together men and women with the
  563. 20:25same burden and passion we are
  564. 20:27facilitating collaborations that will
  565. 20:29result in a massive harvest number two
  566. 20:35is the scent in February of 2018 just
  567. 20:38three days after the death of Billy
  568. 20:40Graham a small group of men met right
  569. 20:42here at the Christ for all nations
  570. 20:43headquarters in Orlando to talk about
  571. 20:45collaborating together for the sake of
  572. 20:48sparking a worldwide missions movement
  573. 20:49out of that meeting the send was born
  574. 20:52together with these other six ministries

  576. 20:56one of the seven collaborators that lead
  577. 20:59the send our first gathering was in

  602. 22:02city as well it sold out in three days
  603. 22:04so we took a leap of faith and we rented

  606. 22:11140,000 people across three stadiums in
  607. 22:14two different cities within eight hours
  608. 22:16while I was driving to that second
  609. 22:18Stadium I heard the Lord speak to me he
  610. 22:19gave me the words of Amos 913 which says
  611. 22:22behold the days are coming declares the
  612. 22:24Lord and the ploughman will overtake the
  613. 22:26Reaper and the Treader of grapes him

  627. 23:06other nations in the world in the days
  628. 23:08to come we're believing God to send
  629. 23:10workers into the harvest this is just
  630. 23:12one more way that we are working to obey
  631. 23:14the word to collaborate number three is
  632. 23:17the Christ for all nations evangelism
  633. 23:19Alliance pressure all nations has held
  634. 23:22dozens of schools of evangelism in many
  635. 23:24different nations of the world
  636. 23:25now with boot camp and other training
  637. 23:27initiatives the community of evangelists
  638. 23:29that belong to the CFN family has grown
  639. 23:31into the thousands we offer these
  640. 23:33graduates the opportunity to remain
  641. 23:35connected to see fan for ongoing
  642. 23:37training resourcing and collaboration
  643. 23:39this happens to the Christ for all
  644. 23:41nations evangelism clients
  645. 23:45now here's what all this means to me
  646. 23:48personally I became the successor of
  647. 23:50Reinhard Bonnke when I was just 28 years
  648. 23:52old it's an understatement to say that I
  649. 23:54felt unqualified and out of my depth at
  650. 23:57times I wondered why God had chosen me
  651. 23:59for this job and I didn't ask for this
  652. 24:01assignment I never even saw it coming
  653. 24:02never once have I believed that God put
  654. 24:05me in this position for my own personal
  655. 24:07benefit and I didn't inherit this
  656. 24:09ministry because of any family relation
  657. 24:11I've never felt entitled to it nor do I
  658. 24:13believe that my calling is just to
  659. 24:15maintain Ryanair banquise ministry for
  660. 24:16another 50 years I can remember on more
  661. 24:19than one occasion Reinhard while
  662. 24:20preaching a sermon stopping mid-sentence
  663. 24:22turning to me sitting on the front row
  664. 24:24pointing his finger at me and saying in
  665. 24:26the commanding tone Daniel you are not
  666. 24:28to become the custodian of my legacy
  667. 24:30preach the gospel what he was saying and
  668. 24:32what he did say many times was that he
  669. 24:35had no desire just to perpetuate his
  670. 24:37ministry for the sake of his legacy that
  671. 24:39was not why we are here no in this next
  672. 24:42season God will use this incredible
  673. 24:44platform Reinhard and Aunty bunkie and
  674. 24:46many others spent a lifetime building to
  675. 24:49launch that new generation of holy
  676. 24:51spirit evangelists into the nations in
  677. 24:53conclusion here is my invitation to you
  678. 24:55there are a few things in this life that
  679. 24:58are truly worthwhile as John reminds us
  680. 25:00the world is passing away along with its
  681. 25:02desires but whoever does the will of God
  682. 25:05abides forever what is the will of God
  683. 25:07Peter makes it clear that God is not
  684. 25:09willing that any should perish but that
  685. 25:11all should come to repentance and there
  686. 25:13is nothing dearer to the heart of God
  687. 25:15than souls
  688. 25:16daniel said those that turn many to
  689. 25:18righteousness will shine like the Stars
  690. 25:20forever and ever if you've been looking
  691. 25:23for something to invest in that pays
  692. 25:24eternal dividends I can imagine no
  693. 25:27better investment in this world letter
  694. 25:29Ravenhill said the opportunity of a
  695. 25:31lifetime must be seized during the
  696. 25:33lifetime of the opportunity I believe
  697. 25:35the harvest that lies before us is not
  698. 25:37only the opportunity of a lifetime but
  699. 25:39the opportunity of the ages and I want
  700. 25:42to invite you to stand with us and seize
  701. 25:44this moment for Calvary sake I'm asking
  702. 25:47you to make a commitment that for the

  734. 26:49applicants we need to take the lid off
  735. 26:51quickly if we're gonna be able to
  736. 26:53fulfill this vision that God has given
  737. 26:54us there are also a number of other
  738. 26:56highly strategic ways that you can give
  739. 26:58tour the harvest from sponsoring
  740. 27:00students in need to the purchasing of

  745. 27:10you know years ago we used to sing a
  746. 27:12song by Robert Critchley that said we

  753. 27:27what has yet unseen and to take hold of
  754. 27:30these God dreams by faith and I believe
  755. 27:33that we could see the impossible become
  756. 27:34possible in our day we can live this
  757. 27:37Impossible Dream for the glory of God
