Hinn has written that he had a profound experience in December 1973 which changed his life, when he travelled by charter bus from Toronto to Pittsburgh to attend a "miracle service" being conducted by Kathryn Kuhlman. Although Hinn never met Kuhlman, he often attended her healing services and has acknowledged the influence that Kuhlman made on him in several interviews. Hinn has also admitted to visiting Kuhlman's grave on several occasions in order to obtain the "power" that Kuhlman purportedly had to heal others.

In 1999, Hinn sold Orlando Christian Center to Clint Brown and moved to Grapevine, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. He is currently the host of This Is Your Day, a 30-minute TV show that runs on various religious networks, including Trinity Broadcasting Network and Daystar Television Network.
