Todd Bentley

about

Todd Bentley (born 10 January 1976) is a Canadian Christian evangelist. He was a key figure of the Lakeland Revival Early life Bentley was raised mainly in Gibsons, British Columbia, a small community on the western coast of Canada. Bentley's parents divorced while he was a child and he struggled with drug and alcohol addiction. He engaged in criminal gang activities which resulted in a 1991 conviction for sexually assaulting a seven-year-old British Columbia boy. Bentley credits his conversion to Jesus Christ for a change of lifestyle at 18. It was at this point that he began his Christian ministry. In 2001, the now-defunct Report Newsmagazine, (a secular conservative publication), disclosed Bentley's teenage criminal activities. It reported multiple instances of sexual molestation in graphic detail, calling Bentley's behavior "heinous." In Canada, the criminal records of juvenile offenders are normally protected from public disclosure. Bentley later said that the Report Newsmagazine article was, in substance, true. This led to heated debate in the Christian media, asking whether Report NewsMagazine had acted correctly in publicizing Bentley's crimes, and whether this affected Bentley's position as an evangelist. Bentley comments: "I was involved in a sexual assault ring [...] I turned around and did what had happened to me. I was assaulted too." Ministry In 1998, the Fresh Fire Ministry group asked Bentley to give his testimony at one of their weekly meetings. Soon aft
