Creflo Dollar doesn’t need your help buying a $65 million luxury jet -- not when his international ministry team has promised to buy him one.
The board of directors behind the popular televangelist's nonprofit organization World Changers Church International has reaffirmed its support for him -- and his dream of purchasing a luxury Gulfstream G650 jet.
The WCCI said its pastors are committed to “aggressive travel schedules” to destinations around the world, which can’t be fulfilled by any means other than a private airplane.
“A long-range, high-speed, intercontinental jet aircraft is a tool that is necessary in order to fulfill the mission of the ministry,” the board said in a statement. “We plan to acquire a Gulfstream G650 because it is the best, and it is a reflection of the level of excellence at which this organization chooses to operate."
Dollar is a well-known proponent of the prosperity gospel, a Christian teaching that suggests God wants all Christians to be prosperous and that material wealth is a sign of God’s favor.
He sparked criticism earlier this year after reportedly launching “Project G650,” asking followers to donate $300 each to fund the effort, according to The Washington Post. His team quickly shut that campaign down, but Dollar didn’t stop dreaming. In fact, he later defended his plans, saying that “with God all things are possible to him that believe.”

he owns two Rolls-Royces, a private jet, and real estate such as a million-dollar home in Atlanta, a $2.5 million home in Demarest, New Jersey, and a $2.5 million home in Manhattan,[13] which he sold for $3.75 million in 2012.[14] Dollar has refused to disclose his salary. Creflo Dollar Ministries received a grade of "F" for financial transparency by the organization Ministry Watch.[13][15]

The guy's name is "Dollar"... He is known for his "gospel of wealth".

I don't know whether this is a testament to how smart some people can be...
Or how irrevocably stupid a lot of people can be...

Talk about hypocrisy.
I think that spreading the word about this purchase to his devoted presumably Christian followers would be enough to discredit him.
Although, his name actually is Dollar so, maybe not.
Why oh why do people need massive churches and stuff to pray in? you don't need a church or a priest or any clergy to pray to God.
The whole world is a church.
I don't trust any clergy especially ones who ask for money.
Disgusting really isn't it 65 million...how many people could that actually help.
Hope the engines fall off mid flight as an act of God.

I wonder how many churches and pastors etc there would be If we taxed them like a business.
I guess many would find another scam.
