The Untold Story of Evangelism Multiplying Around the World
The gospel is going forth all over the world in unprecedented ways.
In an exclusive interview with Charisma News, filmmaker Chris Worthington shared about his new documentary, “Multiplied.” Unlike other films and documentaries, this one highlights the evangelistic crusades by Daniel Kolenda as he takes the gospel to all nations.
“Multiplied,” is about the start of a generation of Holy Spirit evangelists being multiplied all over the globe for an end times harvest,” Worthington said.
As the successor of Reinhard Bonnke, Daniel Kolenda has taken up the mantle to continue the mission of sharing the Good News of the gospel throughout the world. Worthington says that Kolenda’s ministry is about more than just name recognition or getting praise and glory. Instead, he’s made it about raising up individuals who will go and tell others about Jesus.
Deciding to ask Kolenda what the future of evangelism looked like, Worthington received a response that shocked him. He told him it was about multiplication.
“He’s not trying to build his own ministry. He’s about trying to give it away to other people,” Worthington said.
Worthington traveled the world to work on this project and interview Kolenda, including in Brazil and Nigeria. Worthington says the struggles they faced in Nigeria were beyond anything he would have imagined.

“We were literally shot at on our way to a 400,000 person gospel event,” Worthington said. “They knew exactly who we were because we had ‘CFAN’ all over the cars. We were actually supposed to be flying in, but we were actually stopped by a continent-wide sandstorm that wouldn’t allow planes to fly.”
Despite these challenges, Worthington sees the great work of people being set free and saved through Kolenda’s crusades and by his leadership to raise up other evangelists to go and do the good work.
“The amount of people that are getting saved is exponentially greater because it’s not just one event here; it’s being multiplied through hundreds of people doing these things,” Worthington said.
“Multiplied” will be in theaters May 20 and 21. {eoa}
