Bishop Enakirerhi said: “We are witnesses of the great testimonies of Bonnke’s ministry in Africa. Millions of souls were won to Christ. The dead were raised to life, thousands received healings and deliverance from diverse afflictions. Here in Warri, we shall not forget in a hurry how Reinhard Bonnke came to hold a crusade in the 90s in the midst of the bitter Ijaw, Urhobo and Itsekiri crisis and after his prayers, peace returned to Warri.

So, in his last days, the great Evangelist Daniel Kolenda and his crusade team to come to Warri. Delta State is therefore privileged to be the first host of the great gospel crusade after the demise of Reinhard Bonnke,

We are also contending with the outbreak of disease. Suicide rate is also on the increase. Unemployment is very high. Marriages are failing. The answer to all of these is the gospel.”
