Sir,
Regarding the article Winning the lost at any cost (February 24, 2007) I would like to compliment Jean Christou for an objective, well written article on Benny Hinn’s recent visit to Cyprus.
As one of many who has spent years researching Benny Hinn, your readers may be interested to know that controversy follows him in virtually every country he visits.
Sir,
On February 24, 2007, you ran an article titled Winning the Lost at any cost. Your title is quite accurate, for the costs of Benny Hinn’s crusade are not taken care by Hinn’s people but paid by the gullible, who flock to him.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
