American based international evangelist, Reinhard Bonnke is in the country to hold a four- day crusade accompanied with entourage of 20 delegates.

Bonnke was received by the head of National Fellowship of Born Again Pentecostal Churches, Apostle Alex Mitala and pastors who included Daniel Nkata, Rev. John Darku, the Africa director of Christ for All Nations, evangelist Drake Kanaabo, Abed Bwanika, the president of Peoples Development Party and Bishop Joseph Nsubuga.

“I am happy to be back in Uganda,” Bonnke said as he was being welcomed by the pastors.

Bonnke who was stopped from holding a crusade at Jinja in 1990 recalled that it was a nasty experience but he has forgiven the security operatives who harassed him.

“I had unhappy incident in Jinja when soldiers came holding their guns and stopped me from holding the crusade and told me to go away,” Bonnke told journalists at Entebbe International Airport.

“As a man of God I hold no grudge against any one that was involved in stopping me from holding the crusade.”
