Well known Evangelist Benny Hinn has spoken out about the announcement that his wife of thirty years, Suzanne Hinn, has filed for divorce.

As reported on Digital Journal Suzanne Hinn, wife of Benny Hinn filed for divorce on Feb. 1. The couple have been married for over 30 years and have four grown children.

Hinn said he is praying that God will heal his marriage.

Charisma News Online reports Hinn wrote a letter posted on his web site that he knew his wife has been under great stress, but he and their children "never expected this to happen."

He wrote, "Divorce was the last thing on my mind and theirs. Suzanne never gave the family even a hint that this was on her mind. Even to this moment, the children and I don't know why she did it. ... I love my wife, and I am praying that the Lord Himself will take care of this and bring healing to my precious family."

Hinn said his wife's attorney called him on Feb.17 to inform him his wife had filed for divorce. He said he was in "total shock." He said not even her parents knew she had filed for divorce until he called and told them.

Suzanne Hinn has remained silent but Benny Hinn has now spoken out about the divorce announcement.

CBN.com reports Hinn posted a three-page statement to his partners stating that his wife has no 'biblical grounds for divorce."

He wrote, "I also want you, my very dear partner, to know that there was absolutely no immorality involved in my life or in Suzanne's, ever. We both kept our lives clean and were totally committed to each other for 30 years of marriage."

Hinn said the family never even had a hint she was filing for divorce and they still don't know why she filed.

Hinn asks for his supporters to continue praying for his family's healing. He said he will continue his call to the ministry.

Hinn said, "I want you, as my partner in this ministry, to know that I am going to continue preaching the Gospel and praying for the sick as I have for 36 years. I will not allow anything to slow me down or stop me."

Hinn has travelled the world with his healing and evangelistic ministry. Among them are Holy Spirit Miracle Crusades, TV broadcasts and ministry training conferences.

The ministry officials said they covet the prayers and support of Pastor Hinn and his family at this difficult time in their life.
