The Legacy of Fire
In 1989, evangelist Reinhard Bonnke stood in Kaduna, Nigeria, proclaiming the Gospel to multitudes under the blazing African sun. His ministry, Christ for All Nations, would go on to see over 79 million documented salvations, shaking the continent with the fire of revival.
Thirty-six years later, another evangelist will stand in that same soil—answering the same call to preach Christ to the lost at any cost. His name is Daniel du Toit, founder of Take the Nations, a ministry birthed in obedience, forged in danger, and driven by a vision to see Africa saved.
Daniel trained under Bonnke in the legendary evangelist’s final School of Evangelism before his passing, receiving a mantle to carry the Gospel into the most dangerous and unreached regions of the earth. Now, he is preparing for the greatest—and riskiest—campaign of his life: two massive crusades in Kaduna and Jos, northern Nigeria, where persecution is fierce and the harvest is ripe.
A Vision in the Midst of Darkness
The call of God often comes in the most unexpected places.
For Daniel du Toit, it came on a dance floor at a wild house party in South Africa. At just 16 years old, intoxicated and far from God, he was suddenly swept into an open vision—seeing himself preaching the Gospel to thousands in the African bush.
When he woke up, the memory of that vision remained as clear as daylight. Days later, he surrendered his life to Jesus, determined to live harder for the Truth than he had ever lived for the lies of the world.
“If I could live so hard for a lie, how much more can I live for the Truth that sets men free?” Daniel says.
From Street Corners to Stadiums
The vision pushed him into immediate action. He began boldly preaching in malls, hospitals, and even airplanes—anywhere people would listen. With no money, no connections, and no formal ministry experience, Daniel’s only credential was a willing “yes.”
In 2019, his journey took a dramatic turn when he was accepted into the final School of Evangelism run by Reinhard Bonnke—one of the greatest mass evangelists in history. On the last day of that training, God told him to go to Kitwe, Zambia—a city he had never heard of.
When he arrived, he discovered local pastors had just finished a 30-day water fast, asking God to send someone to their city. Within a week, more than 3,000 people had come to Christ. Take the Nations was born.

The High Cost of Obedience
Following Christ has not been without danger. Daniel has faced robbery attempts, threats from witch doctors, and even plots to burn down his home.
One of the gravest threats came earlier this year in Nigeria, when a member of a kidnapping syndicate targeted him and his young son. But Daniel understands that comfort zones never grow the Kingdom.
“I don’t want my light to shine where there’s already light,” he says. “I want to go where there’s total darkness.”
Into the Heart of Persecution
Now, Daniel is preparing for his most dangerous mission yet: two massive crusades in Kaduna and Jos, Nigeria. These are regions where more than 80 percent of Christian martyrdom worldwide takes place, and where 15 different terrorist organizations operate.
The campaigns—five nights in each city—are expected to draw over half a million people. The focus will be on Muslim-majority communities, with pastors’ conferences each morning and Gospel preaching each night.
Kaduna holds special spiritual significance—it’s where Reinhard Bonnke preached in 1989. Thirty-six years later, Daniel will stand in the same soil, proclaiming the same Jesus.

The Urgency of the Hour
The vision is clear, but the cost is great. Each campaign requires around $120,000, for a total of $240,000 by November. Daniel is trusting God for full provision, believing this harvest is worth any price.
“The only thing we can take with us from this earth is souls,” Daniel says. “Every prayer, every dollar, every act of faith sows into eternity.”
The Battle Ready Call
At Battle Ready News, we stand with those on the frontlines of spiritual warfare, and we are deeply moved by the testimony of Daniel du Toit. He is not just a preacher—he is a Kingdom soldier, much like the prophet Daniel of old, standing boldly for the truth of God in hostile territory. Just as the biblical Daniel faced the lion’s den for refusing to bow to the decrees of men (Daniel 6:10-23), our modern-day Daniel walks into dangerous places where the name of Jesus can cost you your life, yet he proclaims it with unwavering faith. The Bible tells us in Acts 2:17,
“In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.”
We believe Daniel’s vision as a young man, seeing himself preaching to thousands in the African bush, was part of this prophetic outpouring. In these perilous times, God is still raising up men and women who hear His voice, obey His call, and step into the fire—knowing that Jesus walks with them, just as He walked with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the blazing furnace (Daniel 3:25).
We believe this is more than a story—it’s a summons to the Body of Christ. Like the early disciples in Acts 4:29-31 who prayed,
“Lord, enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness,”
We are called to pray for those like Daniel who carry the Gospel into the darkest corners of the earth. The harvest fields of Kaduna and Jos are dangerous, yet ripe, just as Jesus declared in Matthew 9:37-38,
“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field.”
Now is the time to rise from comfort and complacency and join in the work—whether by going, giving, or interceding. As the Great Commission commands in Matthew 28:19-20, we must “go and make disciples of all nations,” knowing He is with us “always, to the very end of the age.”

Daniel’s Prayer Over You:
“Father, I thank You for every person reading these words. I ask that You stir up a holy fire in their hearts, just as You did for me when I was far from You. Lord, fill them with boldness to speak Your Word without fear, to walk in obedience to Your call, and to shine Your light in the darkest places. Protect them from the enemy’s schemes, surround them with Your angels, and let Your Spirit lead them into greater works for the Kingdom. In Jesus’ mighty name, amen.”
A Prayer for Salvation:
If you do not yet know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you can invite Him into your life right now. Pray from your heart:
“Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I believe You died on the cross for my sins and rose again on the third day. I confess that I have sinned and need Your forgiveness. I turn away from my old life and invite You to be my Lord and Savior. Wash me clean, fill me with Your Holy Spirit, and help me to follow You all the days of my life. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
Now is the time for the Body of Christ to rise: PRAY—cover Daniel, his team, and the people of Kaduna and Jos in fervent intercession. GIVE—sow generously into the harvest that will shake nations, remembering the words of Proverbs 11:25,
“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”
SHARE—spread this story so others can be inspired to join the mission. Just as David ran toward Goliath with only a sling and the name of the Lord (1 Samuel 17:45), Daniel runs into spiritual battle armed with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the prayers of the saints. Together, we can see the light of Christ pierce the darkness, for “the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5). Partner today at TakeTheNations.com.
