Rick Joyner downsizes, Todd Bentley upsizes?

{Posted at Bene Diction Blogs on May 8, 2014)
Excited e-mail from Todd Bentley on the morning of May 8, as he is starting up his new-to-him revival center with a little conference this weekend, to be broadcast live over the internet.

The location is at Fort Mill S.C. on the same property as Morningstar. Stay at the Heritage International Ministries Retreat Center.

So, is Todd picking up Rick Joyner's mortgage for this particular piece of property? Is it a part of the old PTL property that Joyner doesn't need, which would mean that Joyner would be Bentley's landlord? (Or maybe things have really gone pear-shaped for Joyner and he sold out to someone who will let him him borrow his old facility back?)

Well, at least Bentley isn't going right to subscriber-only content. But donations will be needed to cover this weekend's events.

Todd and Jessa had mentioned wanting to have their own kids in addition to Todd's starter kids, so perhaps this is a model that will allow Todd to do that. Jessa puts her foot down--look you're not going to be on the road all the time.<.br>
This tends to be confirmed by a May 14 e-mail. Part of his latest hand out appeal is a request for money for huge video screens. Bentley's idea is that he will stay at home and the video screens will be set up in places like India for major crusades overseas. Bentley will stay home and preach at a camera, and the camera will send a signal overseas for the people there to react to.
