Well-known televangelist, famous for prosperity gospel, hit with asset garnishment

Benny Hinn, the world-famous evangelist who was once a top-rated TV personality known for his healing crusades and preaching of prosperity gospel, seems to no longer be prospering, according to recent court documents.

For the second time in five years, a court has ordered Benny Hinn Ministries to pay a marketing company for services that were never paid for, according to the Trinity Foundation, which investigates religious fraud. A judge ordered garnishment of assets.

Tarrant County Texas’s 141st Judicial District Court Judge John P. Chupp ruled against Hinn’s World Healing Center Church in January 2026. The church, based in Grapevine, Texas, was ordered to pay PrintMailPro $144,617 in damages, plus legal fees. PrintMailPro said it provided mass mail marketing services for the church in 2025.

The ministry had a history of stiffing vendors.

In 2021, a federal court required World Healing Center Church to pay Mail America Communications, Inc. $2,993,221, plus interest and attorney’s fees.

“For nearly 15 years, Defendant had been falling behind its payment obligations, with over $5.6 million in arrears by early 2012,” Judge Alvin Hellerstein wrote in that case.

Hinn, who was born in Israel and is of Armenian, Greek and Lebanese descent, was raised in the Greek Orthodox Church and grew up speaking Arabic, Hebrew and French in Jaffa, Israel, among Christians, Jews and Muslims.

He gained fame in America as a TV evangelist who claimed to heal the sick.

Hinn’s TV program ‘’This is Your Day!’’ once ranked among the most-watched Christian broadcasts in the world, seen in 200 countries.

In 2016, Trinity Broadcasting Network stopped broadcasting Hinn’s program.

The World Healing Center Church once had more than 400 employees. In April 2020, the church received a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan for $684,600. The ministry’s application said it intended to retain 25 employees.

In a 2009 interview with The Birmingham News, Hinn discussed his book, “Blood in the Sand,” about conflict in the Middle East.

‘’Your average Muslim is a peace-loving person,’’ Hinn said. ‘’I grew up with Muslims as a child. I had friends in Jaffa that were just like anybody else. We went to the same schools; we played together.’’

But he said only God could solve the problems in the Middle East.

‘’I don’t see any human solution,’’ Hinn said. ‘’This is all biblically predicted. The coming of the Lord will fix all this.’’

Efforts to reach Hinn again this week to discuss his ministry’s current financial struggles were unsuccessful.
