Biography
Johnson is a fifth-generation pastor.[7][8] His father, M. Earl Johnson had been senior pastor at Bethel Church, then an Assemblies of God church, in Redding from 1968 to 1982. Bill Johnson met his future wife Beni at Bethel in 1969.[9]:p. 21 They served as pastors of Mountain Chapel in Weaverville, California from 1978 to 1996. He attended a conference with John Wimber in 1987,[10][8] seeking a revival of healing. He attended the Toronto Blessing revival in 1995,[10] where he received further inspiration. Bill and Beni Johnson returned to Bethel Church in Redding as pastors in February 1996.[8] In 1998, they started the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry to "train up a generation that walks in 'revival culture'".[9]:p. 27
