Beatrice is talking about the TV evangelist Benny Hinn, who is currently in Uganda, and has attracted audiences of over 40,000 - two nights in a row!

I feel sorry for anyone that gets duped by his sideshow antics.
Justin in America, says:
Benny Hinn is nothing more than a farse. He, and our president are brothers...
