==History==

Benny Hinn was born in [[Jaffa, Israel]] to a Greek father and an Armenian mother[http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/main_miracles.html]. He was raised within the [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Greek Orthodox Church]], and attended [[Georges Vanier Secondary School]] in [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]], where he was known as '''Toufik Hinn'''.

He states that his father was the mayor of [[Jaffa]]; and that as a child, he was socially isolated and handicapped by a severe stammer, but was nonetheless a first-class student.<ref name="GoodMorningHolySpirit2">Benny Hinn, ''Good Morning, Holy Spirit'', chapter 2</ref>These claims, however, have been disputed by some of his critics.<ref name="Heretic">{{cite news

| publisher =D Magazine |date=2003-08 | url =http://www.trinityfi.org/press/heretic.html | accessdate =2006-10-21}}</ref>

He has written that on [[December 21]], [[1973]], he traveled by charter bus from [[Toronto]] to [[Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania|Pittsburgh]] to attend a "miracle service" conducted by evangelist [[Kathryn Kuhlman]]. Although he never met her personally, he often attended her “healing services” and has often cited her as an influence in his life.<ref name="GoodMorningHolySpirit2" />

He founded the [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]] Christian Center in [[1983]]. In 1999, he handed the church (by the time renamed to the [[World Outreach Center]]) to [[Clint Brown]] and moved to [[Grapevine, Texas]], a suburb of [[Fort Worth, Texas|Fort Worth]], while maintaining the legal entity “World Outreach Center Benny Hinn Ministries”{{Fact|date=February 2007}}. His former church was renamed Faith World Church under pastoring of Clint Brown, author of 250 praise songs and 14 albums, who merged his Orlando church with Hinn's.

He is married to Suzanne Harthern and lives in [[Dana Point, California]].

== Ministry and theology ==
{{wikiquote}}
Benny Hinn is well known for his flamboyant, highly theatrical and often controversial style of ministry<ref name="Heretic"/>, at which members of the congregation and the choir are frequently "[[slain in the Spirit]]" en masse, and purported healings of medical conditions, whether [[Lou Gehrig's disease]], [[AIDS]], [[arthritis]]<ref name="Australia">[Australia's Crusade Begins with Powerful Anointing http://www.bennyhinn.org/articles/articledesc.cfm?id=167]</ref> or [[cancer]]<ref name="Australia"/>, are televised from the stage.{{Fact|date=May 2007}}

He also organizes regular "Miracle Crusades" – [[revival meeting]]/[[faith healing]] summits that are usually held in large stadiums in major cities.

His teaching is similar in many respects to the [[Word of Faith]] doctrine, with a particular emphasis on healing.

According to [[Ole Anthony]], for the film [[Leap of Faith (film)|Leap of Faith]], [[Steve Martin]] "modeled the evangelist character on Benny Hinn".<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.rickross.com/reference/hinn/hinn2.html | title=The Miracles and the Money | publisher=Transcript of CNN Impact |date=March 16, 1997 | first= | last= | accessdate =2007-04-13}}</ref>

==Criticism and Controversy==

Hinn made a number of [[unfulfilled religious prophecies#Twentieth century|unfulfilled (religious) prophecies]] for the [[90s]], such as [[God]] will destroy America's [[Homosexuality|homosexual]] community in [[1995]] or the death of [[Fidel Castro]],<ref name="Fisher">{{cite web| url=http://www.pfo.org/prophecy.htm| title=PROPHECY OR PRESUMPTION?

In April 2001 [[HBO]] aired a documentary called "A Question of Miracles" on Hinn.
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0447686/combined] The director [[Antony Thomas]] told [[CNN]]'s [[Kyra Phillips]] that they did not find cases where people were healed by Hinn.[http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0104/15/sm.13.html] Thomas told the [[New York Times]] about Hinn's claims, "If I had seen miracles, I would have been happy to trumpet it . . . but in retrospect, I think they do more damage to Christianity than the most committed atheist."[http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0CEFDE1131F936A25757C0A9679C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=print]

In 2002, [[Joe Nickell]] of the [[Skeptical Inquirer]] wrote a critical analysis of Hinn's healing claims.<ref>[[Joe Nickell]], "[http://www.csicop.org/si/2002-05/i-files.html Benny Hinn: healer or hypnotist? - Investigative Files]".

In March 2005, [[Ministry Watch]], an independent evangelical organization which reviews Christian ministries for financial transparency and efficiency and advises potential donors accordingly, issued a Donor Alert stating that "the reported exorbitant spending of the Hinn family reveals that BHM has far more money than it needs to carry out its ministry" and advising Christians to "prayerfully consider withholding contributions to Benny Hinn" while praying for his restoration and repentance.<ref>[http://www.ministrywatch.com/mw2.1/pdf/MWDA_053105_BennyHinn.pdf MinistryWatch.com: MinistryWatch.com Recommends that Donors Withhold Giving to Benny Hinn Ministries]</ref> Benny Hinn Ministries is not a member of the [[Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability]].<ref>[http://www.apologeticsindex.org/h01.html Benny Hinn: Apologetics Research Resources</ref>

Toufik Benedictus "Benny" Hinn (born December 3, 1952) is a televangelist, best known for his regular "Miracle Crusades" – revival meeting/faith healing summits that are usually held in large stadiums in major cities.[2]

History

Benny Hinn was born in Jaffa, Israel to a Greek father and an Armenian mother[1]. He was raised within the Greek Orthodox Church, and attended Georges Vanier Secondary School in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where he was known as Toufik Hinn.

He states that his father was the mayor of Jaffa; and that as a child, he was socially isolated and handicapped by a severe stammer, but was nonetheless a first-class student.[3]These claims, however, have been disputed by some of his critics.[4]

He has written that on December 21, 1973, he traveled by charter bus from Toronto to Pittsburgh to attend a "miracle service" conducted by evangelist Kathryn Kuhlman. Although he never met her personally, he often attended her “healing services” and has often cited her as an influence in his life.[3]

He founded the Orlando Christian Center in 1983. In 1999, he handed the church (by the time renamed to the World Outreach Center) to Clint Brown and moved to Grapevine, Texas, a suburb of Fort Worth, while maintaining the legal entity “World Outreach Center Benny Hinn Ministries”[citation needed]. His former church was renamed Faith World Church under pastoring of Clint Brown, author of 250 praise songs and 14 albums, who merged his Orlando church with Hinn's.

He is married to Suzanne Harthern and lives in Dana Point, California.

Ministry and theology

Benny Hinn is well known for his flamboyant, highly theatrical and often controversial style of ministry[4], at which members of the congregation and the choir are frequently "slain in the Spirit" en masse, and purported healings of medical conditions, whether Lou Gehrig's disease, AIDS, arthritis[5] or cancer[5], are televised from the stage.[citation needed]

He hosts a thirty-minute show, This Is Your Day, on various Christian television networks, including Trinity Broadcasting Network, Daystar Television Network, Revelation TV, The Christian Channel, Vision TV, INSP Networks, and The God Channel. He also organizes regular "Miracle Crusades" – revival meeting/faith healing summits that are usually held in large stadiums in major cities.

His teaching is similar in many respects to the Word of Faith doctrine, with a particular emphasis on healing.

According to Ole Anthony, for the film Leap of Faith, Steve Martin "modeled the evangelist character on Benny Hinn".[6]

He currently is a member of the Board of Regents at Oral Roberts University.[7]

Criticism and Controversy

Hinn made a number of unfulfilled (religious) prophecies for the 90s, such as God will destroy America's homosexual community in 1995 or the death of Fidel Castro,[8] election of the first female president of the USA,[9] the east coast will be devastated by earthquakes,[8] etc., all before the 3rd millennium.

In April 2001 HBO aired a documentary called "A Question of Miracles" on Hinn. [2] The director Antony Thomas told CNN's Kyra Phillips that they did not find cases where people were healed by Hinn.[3] Thomas told the New York Times about Hinn's claims, "If I had seen miracles, I would have been happy to trumpet it . . . but in retrospect, I think they do more damage to Christianity than the most committed atheist."[4]

In 2002, Joe Nickell of the Skeptical Inquirer wrote a critical analysis of Hinn's healing claims.[10] Nickell cited information that Hinn's cures have not been documented by independent reviews, and said "there is a danger that people who believe themselves cured will forsake medical assistance that could bring them relief or even save their lives."[11]

In March 2005, Ministry Watch, an independent evangelical organization which reviews Christian ministries for financial transparency and efficiency and advises potential donors accordingly, issued a Donor Alert stating that "the reported exorbitant spending of the Hinn family reveals that BHM has far more money than it needs to carry out its ministry" and advising Christians to "prayerfully consider withholding contributions to Benny Hinn" while praying for his restoration and repentance.[12] Benny Hinn Ministries is not a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.[13]

In November 2006 the CBC Television show the fifth estate did a special titled "Do You Believe in Miracles"on the apparent transgressions committed by Benny Hinn's ministry.[14] With the aid of hidden cameras and crusade witnesses, the producers of the show attempted to demonstrate Benny's misappropriation of funds, his fabrication of the truth and, the way in which his staff chose crusade audience members to come on stage for televised healings. According to the show the seriously disabled who attend his healings are interviewed and then weeded out from ever getting the chance to come on stage. Instead, those who have minor injuries are brought up in their place. Benny Hinn claims proof from the faithful's doctors that healings have been successful. However according to the show none of these doctor notes have ever been produced as evidence to his claims.

Starting in June of 2007, at the end of his This is Your Day program, Hinn stated he is behind in his bills to TBN and said he needs "your love gifts" so he can become current and continue to preach the gospel around the world.[citation needed] Hinn stated the cost of his worldwide crusades and the increased price of everything else has left him financially behind in his bills, but says TBN founders Paul and Jan Crouch have been very supportive. In December 2006, he sent out a mailing asking for donations towards a new Gulfstream G4SP jet valued at an estimated $36 million.[15]

Currently this ministry is receiving a "F" rating (0-70) in financial transparency from Ministry Watch.[16]

Senate Investigation

On November 6, 2007, United States senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa announced an investigation of Hinn's ministry by the United States Senate Committee on Finance. In a letter to HBM,[17] Grassley asked for the ministry to divulge financial information[18] to the Senate Committee on Finance to determine if Hinn made any personal profit from financial donations, and requested that Hinn's ministry make the information available by December 6, 2007. The investigation also scrutinized five other televangelists: Paula White, Kenneth Copeland, Eddie Long, Joyce Meyer, and Creflo Dollar[19][20] . On December 6, 2007, Hinn told the Associated Press that he would not respond to the inquiry until 2008.[21]

On Monday December 3, 2007 on his This Is Your Day programme, Benny Hinn stated that he was sending a letter to his partners to disclose his finances. The letter has also been made available to read on his website, in response to allegations that Benny Hinn uses donations from viewers across the world for his own personal wealth.

He stated in the broadcast that no members of the Benny Hinn family sit on the boards which control Benny Hinn Ministries. He stated that he is the only person who sits on the USA board and he is not on any other boards which represent the ministry in other countries.[citation needed]
