>"Benny" is Benny Hinn, the Dallas-area televangelist. The jet is Dove
>One, a Gulfstream G4SP that his ministry recently acquired, according
>to his Web site.
>
>Hinn's ministry did not return a call from the Houston Chronicle, but
>it has very publicly sought help paying for the plane. Hinn wants
>6,000 of his "partners" to donate $1,000 each toward the down
>payment. Extensive information about Dove One on the Web site doesn't
>include the total cost, but similar Gulfstream jets appear to sell
>for at least $30 million.
>
>Donors of $1,000 or more get a scale model of Dove One and their
>names inscribed inside the plane, Hinn said.
>
>But a frequent critic of televangelists, Ole Anthony, suggests
>another way if Hinn wants to reach unchurched people around the globe.
>
>"For the amount of money it takes to fly one of these things, he
>could take his whole staff first-class on a commercial flight," said
>Anthony, head of the Trinity Foundation in Dallas.
>
>Anthony's group has scrutinized Hinn's ministry for years, focusing
>particularly on such expenditures as a California parsonage
>overlooking the Pacific Ocean, reportedly worth about $10 million.
>
>Hinn, on his Web site, says he is merely answering God's call in
>Isaiah 6:8: "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?"
>
>Hinn's response: "Long ago I said, 'I will go, Lord. Send me!' But I
>cannot do it without you, nor can I do all our wonderful Lord has
>called me to do without Dove One!"
