In Summary

He has been to Uganda twice with his most recent visit being on the invitation of Pastor Robert Kayanja of Rubaga Miracle Centre last year as he (Kayanja) marked 25 years in ministry.

Soon after the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, Hinn’s family emigrated to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where he attended but later prematurely left the Georges Vanier Secondary School.

Upon moving to the United States, Hinn travelled to Orlando, Florida, where he founded the Orlando Christian Center in 1983.

His thirty-minute TV program This Is Your Day, is among the world’s most-watched Christian programs, seen on various Christian television networks

It’s estimated that Benny Hinn has spoken to one billion people through his crusades.

By far the most controversial aspect of Hinn’s ministry is his claim to have the “anointing”, the special power given to him by God to heal the sick.

Hinn made a number of unfulfilled prophecies for the 90s, such as God destroying America’s homosexual community in 1995, the death of Fidel Castro, the election of the first female president of the USA, the East Coast of the United States being devastated by earthquakes.

Hinn also appeared on the Trinity Broadcasting Network in October 1999 to claim that God had given him a vision that thousands of dead people would be resurrected after watching the network—laying out a scenario of people placing their dead loved ones’ hands on TV screens tuned into the station.

In December 2006, BHM sent out a mailing asking for donations towards a new Gulfstream G4SP jet valued at an estimated $36 million and costing over $600,000/year to maintain and operate.
