Partner Highlight: Christ for all nations

Africa shall be saved

Christ for all Nations (CfaN) is a global non-profit evangelistic organization best known for conducting massive, open-air "Gospel Campaigns" primarily across the continent of Africa. River of Life has been in partnership with Christ for all Nations (CfaN) since 2025, in a shared heart and vision for the continent of Africa. Founded in 1974 by the late German-American evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, the ministry is now led by his successor, Daniel Kolenda.

After hearing from God the words, “Africa shall be saved”, German missionary Reinhard Bonnke founded CfaN in Johannesburg, South Africa, in December 1974. Their first meeting in Gaborone, Botswana, began with only 100 attendees, but grew rapidly as reports of miraculous healings spread.

As crowds grew, CfaN commissioned increasingly larger tents, including the famous "Yellow Tent" (10,000 capacity) and eventually a 34,000-seat mobile structure in 1984, then the world’s largest. When even these tents became too small, the ministry transitioned to open-air gospel campaigns. In 2000, in Nigeria, the ministry recorded its largest-ever crowd, with 1.6 million people attending a single service and 6 million total over six days.

In 2009, Daniel Kolenda was officially named President and CEO. In 2017, Reinhard Bonnke officially and publicly appointed Daniel Kolenda as his successor. Under Kolenda, the ministry launched the Decade of Double Harvest (2017), aiming for 150 million decisions for Christ by 2030. They also launched Operation Decapolis (simultaneous campaigns in 10 cities) and other harvest strategies to reach the multitude. This includes gospel trucks to reach remote villages and schools.

The ministry shifted toward a "Multiplication" model, establishing several training institutions to equip the next generation of Holy Spirit evangelists, including:

• Evangelism Bootcamps: Intensive training programs for mass evangelism.

• The School of Ministry: Focused on theological and practical ministry foundations.

• Fire Camp: A specialized six-day training program for young evangelists.

• Nations Church: A local church body supporting the global mission.

CfaN celebrated reaching 100 million documented decisions in August 2025. Today, the ministry increases the number of gospel campaigns in Africa. They also go beyond Africa, reaching Asia, South America and other regions with gospel campaigns.

「基督為萬國」（Christ for all Nations，簡稱CfaN）是一個全球性的非營利福音傳播機構，以在非洲大陸各地開展大規模的露天「福音佈道會」而聞名。 「生命河」（River of Life）自2025年起便與「基督為萬國」（CfaN）建立了合作關係，雙方對非洲大陸有著共同的願景和心願。該機構由已故的德裔美國福音傳道者萊因哈德·邦克（Reinhard Bonnke）於1974年創立，現由其繼任者丹尼爾·科倫達（Daniel Kolenda）領導。

德國傳教士萊因哈德·邦克在聽到神的話「非洲必將得救」後，於 1974 年 12 月在南非約翰內斯堡創立了 CfaN。他們在波札那首都哈博羅內舉行的第一次會議最初只有 100 名參加者，但隨著奇蹟般治癒的報道傳播開來，人數迅速增長。

隨著信眾人數的成長，CfaN委託建造的帳篷越來越大，包括著名的「黃色帳篷」（可容納1萬人），最終在1984年建造了一個可容納3.4萬人的移動式帳篷，當時是世界上最大的帳篷。當這些帳篷也顯得不夠用時，機構便轉向露天福音佈道會。 2000年，在奈及利亞，該機構創下了有史以來規模最大的佈道會，單次佈道會吸引了160萬人參加，六天內總共吸引了600萬人。

2009年，丹尼爾·科倫達正式被任命為總裁兼執行長。 2017年，萊因哈德·邦克正式公開任命丹尼爾·科倫達為他的繼任者。在科倫達的領導下，該機構啟動了「雙倍收割十年」（2017年），目標是到2030年實現1.5億人決志信主。他們也發起了「十城行動」（在10個城市同時進行佈道活動）和其他收割策略，以接觸更多的人。這些策略包括使用福音卡車前往偏遠村莊和學校。

該事工轉向「倍增」模式，建立了多個培訓機構，旨在裝備下一代聖靈佈道者，其中包括：

福音訓練營：大規模佈道者的密集訓練計畫。

事工學院：專注於神學和實踐事工基礎。

火炬營：年輕佈道者的六天專項訓練課程。

萬國教會：支持全球宣教的地方教會團體。

2025年8月，CfaN慶祝其記錄在案的決志人數達到1億。如今，該機構不但在非洲增加進行福音佈道活動，並將福音傳播到非洲以外的亞洲、南美洲和其他地區。
