Here is the website to Benny Hinn's ministry:
http://www.bennyhinn.org/
Hinn claims that the primary purpose of his organization is to bring the word of Jesus Christ to "the world." This, of course, it the primary purpose of most religious organizations. Talk to a Jewish group (note - Jews do not evangalize outside of the religion) and they will tell you that they are spreading the Torah to the believers and to the Jews that need more Torah in their lives. Talk to a Muslim group and they will tell you that they are engaged in Da'wah (the spread of Islam). Talk to a Christian group and they will tell you they are engaged in bringing The Word (aka the New Testament) to the world, as Christ commands. You get the idea.
In this respect, therefore, there is nothing unusual or strange in Hinn's claims as to why he needs support from donors and why he needs money. But, even Hinn will agree with me, however, that if the primary purpose of his organization is to bring the word of Jesus to the world, there are two elements that must be conceded:
1. The Word that Hinn is bringing to the world is Hinn's version of The Word (obviously, Hinn is not a Catholic, Orthodox or traditional Protestant - Hinn has his own version of Christianity. This, of course, does not make him unique or unusual nor is he doing anything wrong. There are multiple versions of Christianity and, as stated, it is not our purpose to discuss these issues).
2. The primary purpose of Hinn's ministry is to evangalize - to spread the Gospel. The donations, therefore, should be going for this primary purpose.
