Costi Hinn, who grew up in the wealthy televangelist family of his uncle Benny Hinn, says he rejected a system linking donations and faith to promises of healing and prosperity. He began working as Benny Hinn’s personal assistant around 2003 and participated in healing crusades as a catcher, but says what he observed led him to question the ministry’s claims. Benny Hinn Ministries disputes his account, saying his logistical role provided no meaningful insight into its services, fundraising, or policies, and argues that he has gained professional visibility and financial benefit by criticizing the organization. The ministry brought in more than $90 million annually at its peak. It faced media scrutiny, a 2004 IRS tax inquiry, a Senate review that led to significant reforms, and a 2017 search of its Texas offices; Benny Hinn has not been charged with a crime. Costi Hinn now runs For the Gospel, an online Christian resource ministry with an annual budget of about $700,000 to $800,000, and says it files Form 990 disclosures to promote transparency.
