Hinn was taught the Bible and mentored by Dr. Winston I. Nunes of Broadview Faith Temple in Toronto He has written that on December 21, 1973, he traveled by charter bus from Toronto to Pittsburgh to attend a "miracle service" conducted by evangelist Kathryn Kuhlman. Although he never met her personally, he often attended her "healing services" and has often cited her as an influence in his life.

“My mum gave half a million to US preacher Bennie Hinn as tithe. Yet I asked her to give me Sh40,000 and she told me she did not have cash." --Kenyan Media personality Maina Kageni 4.25.23
Kageni made the revelation during a discussion on his breakfast show on Classic I05 about the Shakahola massacre in which 89 people have been confirmed dead after apparently fasting to death on instructions of controversial Pastor Paul Nthenge Mackenzie.

There is a popular and perilous rumour around, inspired by the late Myles Munroe
and Benny Hinn. It suggests that the sovereign God requires man’s permission to do anything on earth. Munroe claimed that the only creature with authority on earth is mankind, ‘a spirit in a dirt body.’ Once, when hosted by Benny Hinn, Munroe insisted that because God is a spirit without a body, he cannot operate on earth without permission from humanity. ‘Any spirit without a body is illegal on planet earth’ he says, ‘even God Himself is illegal on earth.’ How then does God get the license to operate on earth? Munroe’s reply: ‘Through prayers’. -For Munroe, prayer is ‘man giving God permission or license to interfere in earth’s affairs.’ Indeed, he belives ‘God could do nothing on earth without a human giving Him access.’

April 23, 2014: Challies: The False Teachers: Benny Hinn
Hinn’s crusades are carefully constructed to lead and manipulate those in attendance, with singing and repetitive music that build a particular atmosphere and sense of anticipation. These crusades crescendo in a time where he announces that God has begun to heal people and he then invites those people to come to the stage to tell what God has done, a technique that was mastered by Kathryn Kuhlman and has since become a staple of faith healing. Hinn claims that God is working powerfully through him to heal others and begins to list those miracles, usually starting with ones that are invisible and unverifiable at the moment—diabetes, depression, and the like. As the healings begin, many people come forward, hoping for their own miracle. Generally, though, only people who claim to have already been healed are showcased on the stage where Benny speaks to them and then often “slays” them in the Spirit.

Dec 28, 2002: Religion News Blog: Benny Hinn has millions of believers and millions in donations
Hinn was born in the Middle East, raised in Canada, and modelled himself after a faith healer, the legendary Katherine Kuhlman. Hinn started a church in Orlando, almost two decades ago. By 1999, he’d left Florida, building his ministry’s administrative headquarters in Dallas and his TV studio in southern California where he now lives. Hinn’s claims of miracles have made him immensely popular, but those healings, combined with his ministry’s enormous wealth, have also triggered scrutiny of a different kind.
“I say he’s in the business of raising money and spreading his own celebrity,” says Ole Anthony, who heads the Trinity Foundation — a Christian watch-dog group that examines the workings of television ministries. The organization operates on donations, grants, and sales of its magazine and tapes.
Ole Anthony himself has been highly critical of television preachers who don’t divulge the details of how they raise and spend their money — especially Benny Hinn.
“We’ve gotten most of the complaints lately from Benny’s organization and Benny’s followers,” says Anthony. “That became our focus, we’ve been following him intently since 1993.”
“Dateline” asked the Trinity Foundation to provide access to, among other things, documents and videotape it’s collected about the Hinn Ministry. We reimbursed the foundation for its costs.
And we also went looking for some answers ourselves. For almost two years, “Dateline” sought permission to videotape Benny Hinn’s crusades, to see how this affluent television ministry really works.
Eventually we were allowed to bring our cameras to a crusade in Atlanta. But the ministry made it clear we were only permitted to tape the first hour or so. Then after Hinn’s entrance, a few hymns and some saving of souls, we were told to stop.

How can some ministers whose personal and spiritual lives are dried up and in shambles still operate in the anointing and continue to minister with power? Pastor Benny Hinn asked this question during a season of personal trial, and his quest led him to an in-depth understanding of the three “rivers,” or types, of anointing in Scripture: 1 John 2:27 (the anointing within you); Acts 1:8 (the anointing upon you); and Isaiah 10 (a global anointing related to building up and destroying nations).
In Mysteries of the Anointing, Hinn explores these three types of anointing, sharing personal stories of things he learned firsthand from Kathryn Kuhlman and Oral Roberts, as well as providing biblical and historical examples that illustrate his teachings. Readers will discover:
