Mass crusades remain one of the most powerful and direct ways to bring the Gospel to large audiences, especially in regions where access to the Good News is limited. Though digital evangelism is on the rise, there is something spiritually significant and deeply impactful about standing before multitudes, preaching Christ crucified, and watching thousands respond to the call of salvation in one moment.
Across the globe, God is still using evangelists who are dedicated to mass crusade evangelism, combining preaching, healing, deliverance, and teaching to bring the message of Christ to the lost. These ministries are not only drawing crowds—they are making eternal impact. They train local churches for follow-up, distribute literature, and empower local pastors to disciple new believers.
At the forefront of modern mass crusade evangelism is Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, a Ghanaian evangelist whose commitment to reaching souls through large-scale campaigns is unmatched in today’s ministry landscape.
Let’s look at some of the leading evangelistic ministries running mass crusades today, beginning with the one that is transforming cities and villages across Africa with consistency and passion.
1. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills – Ghana
Ministry: Healing Jesus Campaign (HJC)
Crusade Reach: 30+ African countries, thousands of campaigns, millions reached
When it comes to consistent, large-scale evangelism across the African continent, no one comes close to Bishop Dag Heward-Mills. Through his ministry, Healing Jesus Campaign, he has preached to millions of people in towns, villages, and cities—many of which are unreached or underserved by traditional church efforts.
What distinguishes Bishop Dag’s crusades is the intentional and sacrificial commitment to the mission field. He travels with his team by road across borders and terrains, conducting multi-day crusades that include preaching, healing, and ministry to the sick. Each campaign is supported by logistics teams, mobile stages, massive lighting, and sound equipment.
The message is always Christ-centered, simple, and anointed: “Jesus saves. Jesus heals. Jesus delivers.” Thousands receive Christ at every event, and local churches are mobilized for follow-up and discipleship.
Dag Heward-Mills has raised countless evangelists and pastors under his covering, and his influence in mass evangelism is growing beyond Africa. His strategy is focused not only on reaching the lost but on training laborers for the harvest, making his ministry a unique combination of crusade evangelism and leadership development.
2. Christ for All Nations (CFAN) – USA / Global
Founded by: Reinhard Bonnke (Germany)
Current Leader: Daniel Kolenda
Crusade Impact: Over 85 million documented decisions for Christ
Few ministries have the legacy of CFAN, founded by Reinhard Bonnke and now led by Daniel Kolenda. For decades, they have led some of the largest recorded gatherings in Christian history, including a famous crusade in Nigeria where over 1 million people attended in a single night.
Reinhard Bonnke once declared, “Africa shall be saved!”—and he pursued that vision until his passing. Under Kolenda, the ministry continues to train new evangelists through the Evangelism Bootcamp, while holding regular crusades across Africa and other parts of the world.
CFAN’s impact is historic, and their commitment to mass evangelism remains strong today.
3. Franklin Graham – USA
Ministry: Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA)
Focus: Festivals, stadium events, global evangelism
Franklin Graham, son of the legendary Billy Graham, continues the family’s legacy through the BGEA, organizing large-scale evangelistic festivals around the world. From South America to Asia to Eastern Europe, Franklin’s crusades bring clear Gospel preaching, often accompanied by musical worship and testimonies.
While the style may differ from African crusades, the impact is equally powerful, with thousands attending and many surrendering their lives to Christ.
4. Evangelist Bonny Andrews – India

In the heart of Asia, Bonny Andrews is one of the few evangelists consistently conducting mass events among young people. His LiveJam foundation hosts large-scale youth rallies, music-infused Gospel meetings, and school outreach events across India and Southeast Asia.
His innovative approach blends creativity with uncompromising Gospel preaching, making him a rising figure in crusade evangelism in Asia.
5. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome – Nigeria
Ministry: Healing School / Healing Streams Live Services
Reach: Global (online and in-person)
While Pastor Chris is widely known for his teaching ministry, he is also a dynamic evangelist who has led mass healing crusades in places like South Africa, Canada, and the U.K. Recently, his Healing Streams Live Healing Services have drawn millions of viewers globally, combining virtual reach with on-the-ground impact.
These meetings are often accompanied by miracles, testimonies, and large altar calls, making his digital crusades some of the most attended Christian events in the world.
6. Shake the Nations – Nathan Morris (UK/USA)
Focus: Gospel crusades, healing meetings, and mass outreach

His style appeals to both traditional and younger audiences, and his events are marked by passion, power, and large salvations.
7. Benny Hinn Ministries – USA/Israel
Legacy: Healing crusades across continents
Benny Hinn was one of the most recognized names in evangelistic healing crusades during the 1990s and 2000s. His meetings in Nigeria, Brazil, India, and the Philippines drew hundreds of thousands, with miraculous healings and mass altar calls.
Though his public crusades are fewer today, his legacy and influence in the realm of large-scale evangelism remain significant.
8. Christ Gospel Outreach – Kenya & East Africa
Led by: Regional Evangelists across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania
This network of African evangelists continues to uphold the tradition of rural and urban mass crusades across East Africa. Their approach includes music, drama, and clear Gospel preaching, often reaching places untouched by mainstream churches.
Their partnership with local churches ensures follow-up and discipleship for new converts.

His focus is to stir hunger for God and win souls through the power of the Holy Spirit.
10. Apostle Joseph Serwadda – Uganda
Ministry: Victory Christian Centre
Focus: City-wide crusades and church-planting evangelism
In Uganda, Apostle Joseph Serwadda has led numerous evangelistic campaigns through his church network, bringing the Gospel to major towns and cities. His crusades often include collaboration with pastors across denominations and result in strengthened local church presence.
Conclusion
Mass crusades remain a vital and Spirit-led expression of evangelism. In a time when many are retreating from public ministry, these evangelists are pressing forward—into stadiums, fields, villages, and city squares—to boldly proclaim the saving name of Jesus.
Among them, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills shines as a tireless soul winner, whose Healing Jesus Campaign continues to echo the heart of Christ: “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).
His life and ministry remind us that evangelism is not a trend—it’s a calling. And as long as people need salvation, these evangelistic ministries will continue to take the Gospel to the masses, one crusade at a time.
