    Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke went home to be with the Lord today

    Well done good and faithful servant! Enter into the joy of the Lord!

    Nobody could 'thunder' like Bonnke, especially when preaching about the Holy Ghost.

    From his FB page:

    Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
    It is with sorrow that the Bonnke Family would like to announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on December 7, 2019. For the past 60 years he has preached the glorious Gospel of Jesus throughout the entire world. We want to thank you on behalf of him and our family, for your kind love and unwavering support, which enabled him to preach the matchless message of salvation to countless people.
    He preached Jesus...
    "Great and marvelous are Your works,
    Lord God Almighty!
    Just and true are Your ways,
    O King of the saints!
    Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
    For You alone are holy.
    For all nations shall come and worship before You,
    For Your judgments have been manifested."
    Revelation 15:3-4
    In Christ,
    Anni Bonnke and Family
    We kindly ask, in lieu of flowers, to please make a donation to Christ for all Nations – Africa Crusade.

    I've seen him live at least twice, both in smaller settings. The first time was at BRSM when he came to the school. He came to our church in NC probably between 2010 and 2013 and preached there too.

    At BRSM he told this amazing story about 'accidentally' meeting the great English healing evangelist George Jeffreys when returning from school through England on his way home to Germany:

    "After finishing (Bible) school in Swansea, (...) I traveled by train to London. (...) I would simply take an unguided sightseeing tour of the great city. (...)
    _
    I began walking through the surrounding neighborhood totally at random. All of a sudden I stopped because I saw a blue nameplate in front of a house. On that nameplate I read, "George Jeffreys.
    _
    I thought to myself, could this be the great George Jeffreys who had founded the Elim Pentecostal Churches in Ireland and England?
    _
    "I walked through the front garden gate and climbed the porch, pausing at the door. There I rang the bell. A lady opened the door. "Pardon my intrusion, ma'am. Does the George Jeffreys live here who was that famous firebrand evangelist I have heard so much about?" "Yes, he does." "May I please see him?"
    "No. Under no circumstances." She had hardly said no when I heard a deep voice from within the house say, "Let the young man come in."
    _
    "I told him I had a call of God on my life to be an evangelist and to preach the gospel in Africa. That I had been to college in Swansea and was now returning home to Germany.
    _
    What happened next was extraordinary. All of a sudden, he took me by the shoulders and fell to his knees, pulling me to the floor with him. He placed his hands on my head and began to bless me as a father blesses a son, as Abraham blessed Isaac, who blessed Jacob, and on and on. The room seemed to light up with the glory of God as he poured out his prayer over me.
    _
    I was dazed by that glory. I do not remember the words with which he blessed me, but I do remember their effect. My body felt electrified, tingling with divine energy.
    After about a half hour he finished. I stood up and helped him to his feet. He seemed very frail. We said goodbye.
    _
    He could hardly stand. Nor could I, for different reasons. I stumbled from his house and staggered back toward Clapham Commons like a drunken man. There, with my head spinning, I waited for a bus to carry me on my way to the railway station.
    _
    I realized something wonderful had happened in London. I had caught Elijah's mantel that day."
    _
    When he told it at BRSM he ended it by saying he went on home to Germany and when he got home his dad come out the front door and said, "Have you heard the news? George Jeffreys died".

    I heard Dr Brown call it one time, "That sacred story..."

    That was the story I referred to in regard to the fruit that came from the Welsh revival in 1904 we discussed in another thread...decades later Bonnke received an impartation from that revival
