Daniel Kolenda

Daniel Kolenda is the president and CEO of Christ for All Nations (CfaN), the ministry founded by Reinhard Bonnke. Known for large-scale evangelistic crusades across Africa and worldwide, Kolenda's core gospel preaching focuses on salvation through Jesus Christ. However, serious concerns arise from multiple affiliations: 1. Active platforming of Toronto Blessing founder John Arnott and his wife Carol Arnott at CfaN's REVIVE Nights in Orlando, Florida. The Toronto Blessing movement is associated with unbiblical manifestations including uncontrollable laughter, animal sounds, and being 'slain in the spirit' — practices that lack scriptural support. 2. A decades-long partnership with Kenneth Copeland Ministries (KCM), which Kolenda himself calls 'A Match Made in Heaven.' KCM has been CfaN's #1 financial supporter since 1984. Kolenda stated: 'I can honestly say that we could not have done this without the generosity of KCM... I will always love Kenneth Copeland.' Kenneth Copeland is assessed as a false teacher on this site for promoting the prosperity gospel, the Word of Faith heresy, and claiming deity of man. As Jesus warned: 'Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?' (Luke 6:39). This pattern of prioritizing financial partnership over biblical fidelity echoes King Saul's disobedience in 1 Samuel 15 — when Saul kept the best plunder from the Amalekites instead of obeying God's command, claiming it was 'to sacrifice to the LORD,' the prophet Samuel declared: 'To obey is better than sacrifice... Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has rejected you as king.' CfaN may point to millions of souls saved, but no harvest — however large — justifies yoking with a false teacher whose prosperity gospel contradicts the very message of the cross. Scripture also warns of 'the way of Balaam, who loved the wages of unrighteousness' (2 Peter 2:15) — a prophet whose calling appeared legitimate but whose heart was corrupted by financial entanglement. When a ministry's primary financial partner and closest ally is a documented false teacher, and its events platform leaders of unbiblical movements, discernment is urgently needed.
