Benny Hinn Admits 'Friendship' With Paula
White. Tells TV Audience It's Over, So Shut Up
And Send Him Money
Evangelist
Benny Hinn recently admitted at a crusade in
Oakland, Calif., to having a
"friendship" with fellow minister
Paula White while he's still married after a
tabloid pictured them holding hands in Rome on
July 13. But the well-known healing minister
says the relationship is over. "A
friendship did develop," Hinn said of
White in Oakland on July 30. "Hear this:
No immorality whatsoever. These people out
there are making it sound like we had an
affair. That's a lie." Hinn invited his
daughters Natasha and Eleasha on stage in
Oakland and asked the crowd to pray for him,
his estranged wife, Suzanne, and their four
children. He said he and his wife had problems
in their marriage for years and "could no
longer exist in the same house." Hinn's
wife, Suzanne, filed for divorce in February
after the couple had been separated for years,
but it has not been finalized. Hinn aired
segments from the Oakland crusade and made
additional personal comments on his This
Is Your Day program on TBN Aug. 5, the
day after his 31st wedding anniversary. A
ministry executive said the program will air
on other networks this week, including on
Daystar Friday.
