International evangelist Daniel Kolenda has arrived in Calabar, Cross River State, ahead of the Christ for All Nations (CfaN) Gospel Crusade scheduled to hold from November 12 to 15, 2026, at the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS), formerly CRUTECH, field.
Speaking shortly after his arrival, Kolenda said his mission in Calabar was to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, expressing confidence that the four-day crusade would bring salvation, miracles and blessings to the city and surrounding communities.
“My message is the same everywhere I go. Jesus is Lord. We’re here to preach the gospel, and I believe this week is going to be a week of blessing, of miracles, of salvation,” he said.
The evangelist added that he was trusting God for a spiritual impact that would uplift Calabar and the entire region.
Kolenda Says Calabar Crusade Is a Divinely Led Mission
Speaking on why his ministry chose Calabar for the crusade despite receiving invitations from different parts of the world, Kolenda said his team believed they had been led by God to the city.
“There are many places in the world that asked us to come, but we really felt as a team that the Lord sent us here. So that’s why we’ve come,” he stated.
He described the crusade as an event his team had prayed and prepared for, expressing the belief that the time had come for the gospel outreach in Calabar.
Evangelist Offers Prayer for Nigeria Ahead of 2027 Elections
Kolenda also offered prayers for Nigeria as the country prepares for the 2027 general elections.
Clarifying that he was not a politician and had come primarily to preach the gospel, he referenced the biblical principle that “righteousness exalteth a nation.”
He said his prayer was for the presence of his ministry in Calabar to bring blessings to the region and for God’s will to prevail in Nigeria’s forthcoming elections.
The evangelist further expressed his ministry’s affection for Nigeria, noting that it had maintained a long-standing relationship with the country.
“We love Nigeria very much. And so we’re praying for this nation and praying that in the elections, God’s will is done and this nation is lifted up in Jesus’ name,” he said.

“Do you want to know what it is? Come to the crusade and you will see,” he responded.
During the airport interaction, the evangelist also prayed for members of the team and individuals who welcomed him to Calabar, asking God to bless their families, finances and children.
