Flanked by leaders of the church in Warri, Chairman Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, Delta state, Bishop Kingsley Enakirerhi urged the federal government to take the security of lives, particularly Christians in the north seriously.

On the crusade billed to commence February 13 to 16 at Urhobo College, Bishop Enakirerhi said it was the wish of the German Christian Evangelist before his death that his Christ for All Nation holds a crusade in Warri, adding that the successor of Bonnke, Evangelist Daniel Kolenda will lead other church leaders for the crusade. “It pleased God that before he called Reinhard Bonnke home, he put it in his heart that his ministry should hold a crusade in Warri. Delta state. It is, therefore, a privilege to be the first host of the great gospel crusade after the demise of Reinhard Bonnke”, he said.
