Reinhard Bonnke is in heaven now.

December 7th, 2019. One of the greatest men of God in our generation, Reinhard Bonnke, is in heaven now.

Brother Bonnke is now waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus soon. 

I had the privilege of meeting him personally. I was assigned In 1994 to bring him from the platform to his car and at the entrance hall of the soccer stadium Mineirão in Belo Horizonte he prayed for me. 

I told him: “Pastor Bonnke, you preached tonight that the torch of the Gospel that Jesus passed to His apostles was passed to the apostle Paul, and Paul passed to Timothy and Timothy passed to others and this is the same torch we carry today. Pastor Bonnke, I also carry the torch of the Gospel. Please, I need the anointing to carry it faithfully.” 

And he just prayed: “Lord Jesus, bring this young man to another level. Amen.”

I thanked him and left him at the car that would transport him to the hotel. 

And I met Deivison, my young brother outside the stadium. I had been mentoring Deivison since he was a teenager.  I’ve told him that Bonnke has just prayed for me. 

Deivison responded: “Oh! You could have asked him to pray for me.” 

“— Deivison, I didn’t it. But receive now what I have received.” And I blew on him. Deivison almost fell. He was filled with the Holy Spirit. I had to hold him. 

That night Deivison would not sleep. He prayed all night long in tongues. His life had never be the same.

After we prayed we went to the Iemanjá Festival at the Pampulha Lake to pray for people. I remember I met Senator Virgilio Guimaraes and prayed for him. “Why politicians would come to get a blessing from witches for Brazil?” 

Pastor Bonnke inspired me so much. This man of God had deeply impacted my life. I would watch his videos in Nigeria and I would cry before the Lord for a long time marveling at the work of the Holy Spirit through him. 

Here is the letter from Mrs. Ann Bonnke.

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
