Todd Bentley Biography

Todd Bentley is one of the most popular and richest Evangelist who was born on January 10, 1976 in Gibsons, British Columbia, Canada. Todd David Bentley (born January 10, 1976) is a Canadian. He was a major figure for the Lakeland Revival and was in the direction in Fresh Fire Ministries Canada until leaving in August of 2008.

Bentley announced his divorce of his spouse, Shonnah on August 8, 2008 and then resigned as a member of his position on the Board of Fresh Fire. A statement from the remaining board members stated, “Todd Bentley has entered into an unhealthy relationship on an emotional level with a female member of his staff” and that he’d “refrain from all public ministry for a season to receive counsel in his personal life”.

Beginning on April 2, 2008, Bentley was invited by Stephen Strader, pastor of Ignited Church, Lakeland, Florida, to lead a one-week revival. The revival attracted up to 10,000 attendees nightly and around 30,000 over the week with Bentley as the primary preacher. In addition to showcasing Bentley’s evangelism, the revival featured colorful light shows and power-chord Christian rock music. The Ignited Church also took a multimedia approach to publicizing the event, posting webcasts online. The revival streamed live via Ustream and received over 1 million hits in the first five weeks of transmissions. After the initial weeks, GOD TV, a Christian satellite channel, pre-empted its primetime programming and broadcast the Lakeland meetings nightly.

A 2009 Charisma magazine interview with Rick Joyner refuted adultery claims while characterizing the relationship as wrong and premature. Joyner told Charisma that the new couple was committed to their marriage and would “continue to serve the Lord in the best way that they can”. As the restoration process progressed, Joyner wrote this about some of his most outspoken critics, “Another level of shock came when I found that many who were the most critical and the most vocal of Todd’s restoration had been through a divorce themselves, and most without going through any restoration for their failure. From my perspective, this was a shocking level of both hypocrisy and hardness of heart.”Todd Bentley would have sex with women after performances and then pay them off later when they accused him.

Bentley was convicted at the age of 15 of sexually assaulting a older boy two years prior. Even though the criminal reports for juveniles in Canada were generally kept from disclosure by the Young Offenders Act, the nature of his conviction was made public after Bentley believed he was speaking out of the blue to a reporter, who then published his comments in an article in the March issue of in The Report. Bentley has publicly reacted to the report in an interview released in Charisma. The article contained the following details about an “revival meeting” Bentley had held in Kelowna, Canada, “The family of the victim was moving to Kelowna and, when they saw the signs featuring Bentley’s name, they made contact with local media. Bentley chose to respond to the outcry of the community through a six p.m. local news on TV. He acknowledged the incident on-air and asked forgiveness. He and told the audience how embarrassed of himself and how he had a transformation five years later through the power of the gospel.” Bentley later said the original story, which was published in the magazine The Report it was, in the main the truth: “‘They were sexual crimes and they were sexual crimes,’ Bentley admits. I was part of an assault ring. I reacted and realized what I did to myself. I was also assaulted.'” At 17, Bentley was hospitalized again following his fourth overdose of drugs. At the age of 18 He changed his lifestyle completely due to his change to Christianity. After this Bentley was able to begin with his Christian ministry.

In 1998 in 1998, the Fresh Fire Ministry group asked Bentley to testify during the weekly meeting. Then the meeting, on Mother’s Day 1998 Bentley took the reins of the group and it became an awakening movement. He travelled across India, Africa, South America, Mexico and Europe participating in crusades and revivals. This was eventually transformed into Fresh Fire Ministries Canada which was run by Bentley until the resignation of his in August, 2008 following the separation of his wife. The ministry changed its name and changed its name to “Transform International” in 2009. In the is the year in which Bentley along with the assistance by Rick Joyner, created a new ministry dubbed Fresh Fire USA. Fresh Fire USA leases space near Joyner’s Heritage International Ministries Conference Center and has an “FreshFire Healing Center” and an established church called “Secret Place Church.”

Bentley’s testimony is accompanied by controversial claims, such as the claim of meeting Paul who was the apostle. Bentley has also spoken about his meeting with an angel that he called ‘Emma’ at the Assemblies of God church in 2001. The angel appeared as a female “and sprinkled ‘gold dust,’ illustrating financial blessings, on the congregation where he was preaching.” To address criticisms regarding the Biblical theology of an angel that appears as female Bentley stated that God’s decision, and not his and that the angel appeared to him in that way. Bentley clarified: “In the case of the angel called ‘Emma,’ who I described as having mother-like nurturing qualities, some have automatically assumed that my doctrine is that I believe in female angels. This has never been the case! For whatever reason God chose to show me this angel in a female persona, He did. This isn’t to say that the angel was female. Angels are spirit and appear in many forms. Perhaps that’s the form God chose this angel to take for the purpose of the revelation He gave me. They are spirit beings of light, created out of God’s glory, without gender, and appear in whatever form God chooses to send them to us.”

On 9 July 2008, ABC News’ Nightline broadcast an investigative report on Bentley, focusing on his faith healing claims, finances, and criminal past. Following the report, Bentley took time off from the revival, but returned on 18 July 2008. Five days later, Bentley and Strader announced that Bentley would be leaving the revival permanently and that his last day would be 23 August 2008. Bentley’s last day of preaching that year was on Friday 8 August 2008 when he left Lakeland for his first, and only, day of “taking the revival on the road.” He drew a small crowd in South Carolina during an open-air meeting at Heritage International. Three days later it was reported that Bentley, “has filed for separation from his wife, a former spokesperson said Monday, and will not return to the ongoing revival.” Four days after that on August 15, 2008 the news of his resignation became public.
