Creflo Dollar Gets His Own $70 Million Jet

Popular TV evangelist and mega church pastor Creflo Dollar caused a stir when he requested to purchase a $70 million personal jet. He even set up a campaign that asks 200,000 of its international supporters to donate $300 each in March to purchase the aircraft that reportedly had billionaires waiting in line to purchase one last year. However, the board of World Changers Church International, which was founded by popular televangelist Creflo Dollar and conducts business as Creflo Dollar Ministries, said in a strongly worded statement that the organization will acquire the luxury multimillion dollar Gulfstream G650 jet.
"It is our belief that this ministry is called to serve people globally - to literally change the world according to the Great Commission - and our infrastructure and operational plan reflect the worldwide nature of that assignment. Our pastors share the gospel of Jesus more than 300 times per year - in churches, arenas, venues, convention centers, stadiums and other facilities across the entire planet - and are committed to aggressive travel schedules that cannot be fulfilled via any means other than private aircraft," said the WCCI board.
"A long-range, high-speed, intercontinental jet aircraft is a tool that is necessary in order to fulfill the mission of the ministry. In light of an unfortunate accident that recently resulted in the ministry's aircraft being declared a total loss, it is our intention to purchase another airplane at a time, place and price of our choosing," the statement continued.
It was then confirmed later in the statement that the next plane the ministry intends to acquire is the controversial Gulfstream G650.
"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. We, the World Changers family, so value the lives, the safety and the well-being of our pastors and leaders that we wish to provide to them the best air travel experience possible," said the statement from the WCCI board.
Despite the statement from WCCI, however, it might be a while before the church can acquire the G650 jet even if they are able to raise the nearly $70 million needed to purchase the aircraft, according to Gulfstream's sales director for New Jersey, Delaware and New York, Kevin Valik.
