The Early Years
Benny Hinn was born on December 3, 1952, in Jaffa, Israel. Raised in a devout family, his life was set on a new course when, in 1968, he immigrated with his family to Canada shortly after the Six-Day War.
In February 1972, Benny Hinn's life took on an entirely new meaning when he surrendered his heart to Jesus Christ. This pivotal moment set the stage for a divine calling that would soon emerge and shape the rest of his life.
A Divine Calling and Miraculous Start
In April 1974, a young Benny received a powerful vision of souls falling into a roaring inferno, accompanied by the words: "If you do not preach, every soul that falls will be your responsibility!" This divine mandate ignited a fire in him to share the Gospel.
On December 7, 1974, just days after his 22nd birthday, Benny Hinn stood to preach for the first time. In that moment, a life-long, severe stutter that had plagued him since childhood was suddenly and miraculously healed. From that day forward, he would fearlessly minister the Gospel to the world.
