God’s Gift to All Believers
Some believe that simply having faith is an entitlement to blessing and prosperity. Others believe that faith in oneself is all that is needed in life. Still others contend that faith is a cosmic force that breeds superhuman, super-spiritual, invincible power. It is none of these.
Faith is not something requiring you to believe in what you know is not true, nor is it believing something for which there is no evidence. The Bible—a book all about faith—provides the evidence that makes faith so vital, so important, and so astounding.
In Faith: The Link with God’s Power, international evangelist Reinhard Bonnke draws from his years of personal study and vibrant ministry to reveal that…
- Faith is like a wiring system that carries power into our lives.
- Faith itself is not the power, but it links us to the power source.
- >span class="a-list-item">Our belief in what happens tomorrow stems from what we already experienced yesterday.
- It is not the size of your faith but the size of the God you believe in that determines the results.
Reinhard Bonnke is more qualified than most to shed light on what it means to minister in the power of the Holy Spirit. He and his CfaN team regularly conduct gospel crusades in Africa, where signs and wonders follow the preaching of the gospel. In one six-day crusade, more than 1,600,000 people attended a single service, with 3,450,000 making positive decisions for Christ over the course of the event. Indeed, these are days in which God’s people can abound in faith!

About the Author
Reinhard Bonnke (1940–2019) was principally known for his Great Gospel Crusades throughout Africa. The son of a German pastor, Reinhard surrendered his life to Christ at age nine and heard the call to the African mission field before he was a teenager. He attended Bible college in Wales and was ordained in Germany where he and his wife, Anni, pastored a small church until 1967 when, in obedience to Reinhard’s childhood call, they embarked on missionary life in Africa in the small mountain kingdom of Lesotho. When, in 1974, the Holy Spirit spoke to Reinhard in a recurring dream about “a blood-washed Africa,” he founded Christ for All Nations, becoming the inspiring visionary who always spoke of “plundering hell to populate heaven,” a dedicated preacher who saw “signs following” as the necessary evidence of the power of the gospel to save, heal, and deliver. To date, Christ for All Nations has recorded more than eighty-two million documented decisions for Jesus Christ. Reinhard also authored numerous books, including Raised from the Dead, Daily Fire Devotional, Faith: The Link with God’s Power, and Hell Empty, Heaven Full. In addition, he spent several years developing the Full Flame Film Series, eight inspirational films aimed at inspiring and challenging the church to Holy Spirit evangelism.
Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke is known for his Great Gospel Crusades throughout the continent of Africa. The son of a pastor, Reinhard gave his life to the Lord at the age of nine and heard the call to the African mission field before he was even a teenager. After attending Bible College in Wales, he became a pastor in Germany for seven years and then went on to start mission work in Africa. It was there, in the small mountain kingdom of Lesotho, that God placed upon his heart the vision of 'the continent of Africa, washed in the precious Blood of Jesus' - an entire continent, from Cape Town to Cairo and from Dakar to Djibouti that needed to be reached and to hear the proclamation of the signs-following Gospel.
He began holding meetings in a tent that accommodated just 800 people, but, as attendance steadily increased, larger and larger tents had to be purchased, until finally, in 1984, he commissioned the construction of the world's largest mobile structure - a tent capable of seating 34,000 people! Soon, attendance at his meetings even exceeded the capacity of this huge structure, and he began open-air Gospel Campaigns with an initial gathering of over 150,000 people! Since then, he has conducted city-wide meetings across the continent with as many as 1,600,000 people attending a single gathering using towering sound systems that can be heard for miles.
It has now been over thirty years since Reinhard Bonnke founded the international ministry of Christ for all Nations (CfaN), which currently has offices in the United States, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, Africa, Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong and South America.
Since the start of the new millennium, through a host of major events in Africa and other parts of the world over 53 million have responded to the Gospel call.
As part of the discipleship-training program, 190 Million copies of his books and booklets have been published in 143 languages and printed in 54 countries. Millions of books have been printed and freely 'seeded' in nations around the world. All this is in addition to the 'Reinhard Bonnke School of Fire,' an online, and self-study course, aimed at inspiring others to Holy Spirit Evangelism and leading to either a certificate or university credits (Southeastern University Lakeland/Florida). Other soul-winning projects are in development, including one that is aimed at inspiring the next generation of evangelists also to reach the unreached, to further the Kingdom, and to see the Gospel message proclaimed throughout the world.
Reinhard Bonnke is also recognized for hosting 'Fire Conferences' in many different countries of the world, events that are aimed at equipping church leaders and workers for evangelism... for distributing over 90,000,000 copies of "From Minus to Plus", a profound salvation message, to homes around the world and for seeking every opportunity to reach and to save the lost. He is known as one with a burning passion for the Gospel, a vision for Africa and a message for the world.
