I was never privileged to hear Reinhard preach in real life, but his fame, especially in Africa, is phenomenal.
He once preached to a crowd and 1 million people responded to the call to give their lives to Christ. That is possibly unprecedented.
His secret? A close walk with the Holy Spirit and the faith that God would answer.
He was only 79 and to die so soon after Billy Graham it feels like God is clearing the ground for a new generation of evangelist to rise up. We are in desperate need of a massive in gathering, if not indeed the final harvest.
Rest in peace is a strange term to use when the next thing Reinhard will be aware of is an extravagant party in his honour as he takes his place in eternity.
