Daniel Kolenda is a well-known missionary evangelist, pastor, author, and teacher. He has led more than 22-million people to Christ face-to-face through massive open-air evangelistic campaigns in some of the most dangerous, difficult, and remote locations on earth.
As the successor to world-renowned Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, Daniel is the President and CEO of Christ for all Nations. This ever-growing ministry has conducted some of the largest evangelistic events in history, and has published over 190 million books in 104 languages. CfaN has 15 offices in 12 countries on six continents. Evangelist Kolenda has hosted two internationally syndicated television programs (one daily and one weekly), and has authored eight books, including the bestsellers LIVE Before You Die and Slaying Dragons.
In addition to CfaN’s international ministry, Daniel is also the Founder and Lead Pastor of Nations Church, a thriving local congregation in Orlando. These institutions and others are part of an overarching mandate (received by Daniel from the Lord) to “multiply laborers for the sake of the harvest.” The emphasis on multiplication has already resulted in hundreds of ministers launched and ministries birthed, which have collectively documented millions of decisions for Christ in the last few years.
Daniel is a graduate of Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida, and the Brownsville Revival School of Ministry in Pensacola. He and his family reside in the Orlando area.
