Televangelist Benny Hinn has asked supporters of his ministry for $2.5 million in donations, which he says an anonymous donor will match dollar by dollar to help him get out of debt.
"God wants your ministry to be completely out of debt, and I want to plant an anointed seed that will help you take a giant step toward becoming totally debt-free!" says the anonymous man, whom Hinn calls a "long-time and beloved" friend.
"God has laid it on my heart to plant a seed of $2.5 million into your ministry, but God only wants me to make this gift if the ministry partners match the amount within 90 days! I feel so strongly that He wants them to be part of the supernatural wealth transfer that is coming to every believer who will obey God's Word," the man reportedly adds.
..The preacher has been criticized for using his ministry's money to buy a private jet and luxury cars, but the exact state of his finances has been kept under wraps.
Earlier in April, Hinn led a large service in Trinidad and Tobago where the minister apparently asked the thousands in attendance to each give a $100 donation to help pay for the two-day event
The Texas televangelist has built his ministry around the idea that if people help the Christian Church, including his own, by offering financial support, then God will reward them and even double their fortunes.
"Imagine not dreading going to the mailbox, no bills piling up on your counter, and no calls from collectors coming to your home. God wants to wipe your debt out! Every bit of it ... and in the next 90 days!" Hinn says on his website.

There is likely no 'donor'. That is just a come on to get others to donate.

Dresses like it, doesn't he.
Well... he wasn't born in India. He was born in Israel.
Whoda thunk?
that and phony hearings.....these type of hucksters are an embarrassment
Plus the fact that Scott actually did a lot of teaching of the Gospel. His sermons on the resurrection and its proof is still one of the best ever
In December 2006, BHM sent out a mailing asking for donations towards a new Gulfstream G4SP jet valued at an estimated US$36 million and costing over US$600,000/year to maintain and operate.[27] The 22-seat craft was purchased in 2007 and christened "Dove One."
Has Benny Hinn ever heard of Pope Francis?
You should not mention that on here. : ) I did a few months ago and some. poster thought I needed help for not supporting these people. Most are money hungry and. I refuse to help them buy a larger house, a newer plane, etc. They need to live like the poorer people sending in lots of money thinking they will get rich. They need to start teaching the Bible verse by verse. Their getting richer will not help anyone get to heaven.
Years ago I read the book “Good Morning Holy Spirit” by Benny Hinn and it seemed like it presented an excellent way to live your life. I wonder what happened?
I seem to remember from his book that he was born in Haifa, on the coast of Isreal. It was part of the intrigue. Maybe he lied though....
fame and money?
I guess you never really know any more
It became “Good Morning Money!”
