Bonnke a true icon for the Church, ambassador for Christ

I first heard him in a cassette recording back in my secondary school days. Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke (pictured) had a message that was simple but extremely captivating. Though I was then not yet a saved Christian, I was intrigued by his extraordinary vision to reach the whole of Africa with the Gospel. He had a vision from the Lord to construct the world’s biggest tent that would seat 34,000 people – large enough to cover three football fields, and with masts as high as a six-storey building.
