Healing

People around the globe know Pastor Benny Hinn as a noted evangelist, teacher, and the author of best-selling books including The Gift, The Names of God, Prayer That Gets Results, Lamb of God, He Touched Me, and Good Morning, Holy Spirit. His TV program This Is Your Day! is among the world’s most-watched Christian programs, seen daily in 200 countries. His Web site www.BennyHinn.org is the number one site in the evangelist category and This Is Your Day! is the most popular Christian television show on the Internet.

Yet there is much more to the story of the man whose ministry continues to impact the world with the life-saving and miracle-working message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Beginnings

Benny Hinn was born on December 3, 1952, in the port city of Jaffa (part of modern Tel Aviv), Israel, where his family had set up residence as immigrants to Palestine from Greece. In 1968, not long after the Six-Day War, he immigrated with his family to Canada.

In February 1972 Benny Hinn’s life took on an entirely new meaning when he surrendered his heart and life to Jesus Christ as high school friends prayed with him. Soon afterward, he was called to minister the Gospel.

Married in 1979, Benny Hinn and his wife, Suzanne, have three daughters and a son. He is also a proud grandparent.

The Hinns reside in Southern California, strategically near the ministry-owned television studio and World Healing Center Church in Aliso Viejo. The corporate headquarters for Benny Hinn Ministries / World Healing Center Church is located in Grapevine, Texas.

Statesman, Author, Broadcaster, Bridge Builder, and Evangelist

In worldwide ministry more than 33 years, Pastor Benny Hinn has preached the Gospel face to face and through television to more than a billion people. Through Holy Spirit Miracle Crusades, Impartation & Anointing Conferences, TV broadcasts, the Internet, printed page, and audio-video recordings, this evangelist’s straightforward and uncompromising message of God’s love has inspired hundreds of millions to a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Pastor Benny’s ministry is also engaged in crisis relief, children’s homes, and feeding programs, as well as hospital and emergency care. During the past year alone, not only did his ministry help provide food, clothing, shelter, education, and religious training for 46,368 children around the globe (including partnerships with 31 different missionary and relief agencies), but it also continues to underwrite the free care expenses of powerful outreaches such as a hospital in Calcutta, India—where over 200,000 patients are treated annually—and My Father’s House children’s homes in Mexico and the Philippines.

Taking the Saving and Healing Power of Jesus Christ to the World

Today, Pastor Benny continues to take the message of God’s saving and healing power to the world. Tens of millions attend his Holy Spirit Miracle Crusades each year. Memorable crusades have included the one in India, where a combined 7.3 million attended in three services, the largest healing crusade in recorded history. In recent years, he has been welcomed during his travels by kings, prime ministers, and heads of state, yet his message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ continues to be fervent, motivating him to “go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).

After more than 33 years in ministry as statesman, author, broadcaster, bridge builder, and evangelist, Pastor Benny Hinn remains committed, more than ever, to preaching the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ, teaching the unchanging Word of God, and expecting the mighty and miraculous power of the Holy Spirit!

Dr. Bob Nichols and his wife Joy founded Calvary Cathedral International in 1964. Now, in only his third Church location, he continues to teach and preach the Word of God in power and demonstration.
