Benny Hinn Career
He moved to the United States and traveled to Orlando, Florida, where he established the Orlando Christian Center in 1983. Eventually, he began claiming that God was using him as a vessel for healings. He then began holding healing services in his church.
These new “Miracle Crusades” were with no time held at large stadiums and auditoriums in the United States and the world at large. His first nationally televised service was held in Flint, Michigan, in 1989. During the early 1990s, Benny launched a new daily talk show called This Is Your Day, which to this day telecasts clips of supposed miracles from Hinn’s Miracle Crusades.
The program launched on the Trinity Broadcasting Network of Paul Crouch, who would become one of Hinn’s most outspoken defenders and allies. Hinn’s ministry began to rapidly grow since then, winning praise as well as criticism from fellow Christian leaders.

The pair remarried on 3 March 2013, at the Holy Land Experience theme park, in a traditional ceremony lasting over 2 hours.
