Those who donate to Benny Hinn's ministries are donating to an organization with the expectation that the money donated will be going to the stated purpose of spreading the word of Christianity. There is no doubt that Hinn's organization is engaged in evangilism - all you have to do is turn on the TV and there is hardly a religious program that does not show his face. So - it is clear that the people making the donations are indeed getting, at least part, of their "money's worth."
But - are they getting all of their money's worth?
The real test of a charitable organization is what percentage of its money is used for its primary purpose - in this case evangilism? How much of the money is used to educate people as to the New Testament and how much of the money is being used to enrich Hinn personally? Remember - as I stated the other day - Hinn has a right to earn a living. But - is Hinn using his ministry primarily (or to a large percentage) to enrich himself, or is he using the necessary majority of the funds for the organization's stated primary purpose?
