Televangelist Benny Hinn has posted a plea for $2 million in donations on his
website. Hinn says he accumulated the deficit in the past few months because
offerings at some international appearances did not cover
expenses.
Hinn's reputation as an advocate of prosperity gospel has attracted millions
of followers but has also drawn criticism from lawmakers and watchdog groups. He
is one of six televangelists who have been targeted by federal lawmakers
investigating compliance with IRS rules for nonprofits. (See related
story)
Hinn has said on his website that external auditors ensure his compliance
with IRS regulations and that in 2008, 88 percent of the money he collected was
spent on ministry.
(Billy's Thoughts >>> Before any follower of the Lord gives to a ministry they should check to see if that ministry lines up with the Bible. Here is a truth Jesus didn't die so we could have the biggest house in the city, also God does want to live in prosperity but that doesn't mean he will give us all the money and toys in the world. God just might bless us with peace, a good family, and a good job. That is a point that some so called Bible teachers on TV are missing. If you like read more of the above story Televangelist Hinn coming up
short.)
