Daniel Kolenda — Quotes Examined

"Our last REVIVE Night with Pastors John & Carol Arnott was AWESOME. It was a powerful night of teaching, worship and renewal!"

Christ for All Nations (CfaN), founded by Reinhard Bonnke, has a legacy of powerful evangelistic crusades across Africa. Under Daniel Kolenda's leadership, CfaN continues large-scale evangelism. However, CfaN's decision to actively platform John & Carol Arnott — the founders of the Toronto Blessing movement — at their REVIVE Nights and School of Ministry raises serious questions about discernment. The January 2026 CfaN School of Ministry speaker schedule also includes Cindy Jacobs (prominent NAR prophetess) and Brian Simmons (author of the heavily criticized Passion Translation). While Kolenda's own preaching focuses on evangelism and does not appear to teach prosperity gospel, his willingness to associate with and endorse figures connected to unbiblical movements undermines CfaN's credibility. Scripture is clear: who you platform, you endorse. Who you endorse, you share in their work — whether good or evil. This is not a judgment on Kolenda's salvation, but a red flag urging believers to exercise discernment.
