Tofik 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
Benny Hinn was born in Jaffa, Israel to Palestinian Arab parents.[1] He was raised within the Greek Orthodox Church, and attended Georges Vanier Secondary School in Toronto, Canada, where he was known as Teufik 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.

Benny Hinn is a televangelist that conned hundreds of thousands of people out of money. I remember my great grandma watching him on TV when I was about 10 or 11. He would "faith heal" someone by touching them on the forehead and whatever illness they professed to have would be magically cured. After watching that crap my grandma would open up her purse and start writing a check. I would stare at her with my jaw dropped thinking are you f***ing kidding me? I never made fun of her for sending him money but I thought she was a total fool. Her along with the rest of America that sent that fraud money.

Benny Hinn- Ummm. He's like a piece of old fruit with lots of magets crawling on him, perhaps the older magets are now flies that sit on the unsuspecting poor victims of the world - to gather up all their hard earned money so he may aggrandize himself in the name of g.....!

Google him and you'll see all the law trouble he has had. He is a fake like Jim Bakker, i'm sure in the future you might be adding Joel Osteen to the list.

He is a con artist who lives a life of luxury supported by misinformed, misled, gullible people who think he is a man of God. His disgusting stage shows are a disgrace to everything Jesus Christ and Christianity stand for.
