Someone would have to be pretty stupid to send this blasphemous con artist a single cent. Let him sell just one of his mansions or private planes...that will cover it.

Benny Hinn Asks Followers for $2.5 Million to Get Out of Debt

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.

Hinn preaches a controversial prosperity gospel teaching and has often told followers that donations would be returned back to them in the form of financial blessings.
Benny Hinn Ministries has been investigated by the IRS in the past, and was under a 2007 Senate investigation that delved into the financial dealing of a number of high-profile preachers. The ministry has denied any wrongdoing.

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.

He should be ashamed of himself. Especially if he asked those poor people who probably live in shacks and wouldn't know a hundred dollar bill if they saw one to help pay for that 'event'. He should be paying THEM.

What a despicable person he is and a blight on the Good Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

You're right - he should be helping them. It's totally obscene how these pulpit pimps poor on the poorest and most desperate; I remember almost kicking in the TV screen a few years ago when DuPlantis was talking about a woman in his congregation whom he "knew for a fact was living on dog food." She gave him her last $5, and dear, sweet Jesse didn't want to, but "god" said to him, "Take it, Jesse!" I was screaming that the lousy #$(* should have had a church van at her home, filled with food.

Those so-called "pastors" are going to be in the deepest pit of hell, yet sadly, so many continue to follow them. Someone I've known for many years broke off our friendship yesterday because I criticized Joyce Meyers on FB; she accused me of being "judgmental" and "unloving". When I pointed out that - false teachings aside - Scripture forbids a woman to have spiritual authority over or teach men, she said she didn't agree with that. Oh? So she knows better than the Word of God? It flabbergasts me how spiritually blind people are; when I asked her how she could possibly think that someone like Todd Bentley who kicks old ladies in the face with his biker boots on because "god" told him to is a true man of God, she told me it was God's place to judge them, not ours. Pathetic! These people have more loyalty to these demonic freaks than they do to Jesus, and are in for a very sad and rude awakening.
