Reinhard Bonnke (19 April 1940 – 7 December 2019) was a German-American Pentecostal Evangelist, who labored very mightily for the cause of the Gospel of Christ, especially in Africa. The Holy Spirit had told him "Africa will be saved" as he had a dream of the African Continent being washed in the Precious Blood of Jesus. In later years, with the dream having become a reality, Bonnke no longer said "Africa will be saved" but, "Africa is being saved". Bonnke would later apply these same principles to European countries and America. Over the 79 years of his life, it is estimated that over 79 million people - a million for each year of his life - came to Christ as a result of Bonnke's ministry. <ref> Shellnut, Kate.''Christianity Today''.
