Fresh Fire Founder Todd Bentley Asks Followers to ‘Bless’ Wife in PayPal Account on Her Birthday
“My wife does not know that I’m doing this. How about that everybody,” he said with a chuckle in a Periscope Live broadcast.
“If you did not know that it was my wife Jessa Bentley’s birthday and you’re a personal friend, on Facebook or you just happen to know us, stop by my wife’s Facebook and wish her a happy birthday. I posted a beautiful picture of my wife Jessa on my Facebook,” he continued.
He then explained he was doing a “surprise” for Jessa and that a lot of her friends would be a part of it before explaining to his “friends” on social media how they could be a part of it too.
“I know we like to get on here and we talk about a lot of ministry stuff. You know we talk about feeding kids in Malawi, we talk about Pakistan, sometimes we don’t even talk about anything. But I want to talk about how to bless my wife Jessa Bentley and this is for friends and this for those who would like the chance to bless not just the message but the messenger,” he said.
Bentley explained that he wasn’t asking out of need because “definitely it’s not because we need the money.” His ministry, he said, has been very blessed already. He said he was simply giving his friends and fans an opportunity to bless and honor his wife beyond a “happy birthday” note on social media.

Just returned from Haiti last week. We work with local people doing mobile medical missions. Our driver/interpreter is hired for the week and he told us he is taking using our stipend that we are paying partly for supporting his 4 children and wife and then some toward his tuition. But he was going without food in order to put this money toward his tuition. So the team decided to pay his tuition- so he could eat. “Ministry” sure is an interesting term these days. If surprising your wife by soliciting from “fans” and “followers” meets this definition, we need new terms and new “ministries”. I hope this is some kind of belated April Fools joke in May
