Greedy Pastor Begs 200,000 Church Members To Donate $300 Each So He Can Buy A Private Jet

Popularly known televangelist and founder of World Changers Church International, Creflo Dollar (yes, that is his real name) requested for 200,000 people to each donate $300 (or more) so he can purchase a brand new luxurious $65 million dollar private plane favored by high-flying billionaires.

Dollar, who is one of the most prominent preachers in the United States, put up a five minute video on his website asking for donations to buy the fastest jet ever built in civilian aviation (Gulfstream G650) - so that World Changers Church International can continue to blanket the globe with the “Gospel of grace.”

According to Christian Post, the popular televangelist is well known for his multi-million dollar homes in Atlanta and New Jersey. Over the years, Dollar has refused to disclose his salary, but has an estimated net worth of $27 million.

The obviously wealthy preacher insisted that the only way he could continue spreading the word of Jesus is if he had a brand new plane, since the ministries current airplane isn’t reliable. Dollar wrote his pledge on the Ministry’s website:

The ministry’s current airplane, was built in 1984, purchased by the ministry in 1999 and has since logged four million miles.Believe it or not, there are still millions of people on this planet who have never heard of Jesus Christ and know nothing of His greatness. Our hearts desire to see precious lives changed and snatched out of darkness and thrust into His marvelous light! We need your help to continue reaching a lost and dying world for the Lord Jesus Christ.

To many church members, this message bought their sympathy as well as their concern for people around the world that haven’t been introduced to Jesus Christ, but other ministry members were skeptical towards his intentions for the extravagant jet. According to Financial Juneteenth, a report from the Senate Finance Committee found that Dollar’s current jet had also been used for a variety of vacation flights, including stops in Miami, Las Vegas, Nevada, and Hawaii with no record of him spreading the “gospel grace” during any of these extravagant destinations.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but the question is, did Jesus Christ need a private jet or any personal possessions to spread His word?

    If there are still millions of people on this planet who have never heard of Jesus Christ, think of all the people on other planets who haven’t heard of Him. This guy needs a space shuttle next.

    If the people are stupid enough to send him money, then that’s on them. I hate Christianity and all it’s pawns, however, it does seem like a rather lucrative business opportunity.

    • JamieHaman

      Couldn’t be the pilot, after all, it’s been Jesus take the wheel for so long now.

  • jennie dunlap

    He needs to lose that tax exempt status for using that jet for personal vacations. You realize all his homes and millions are tax free. snake oil salesman…Religion great gig if you can get it. fleecing the sheeple.

  • dragontech64

    Reminds me of Dean Martin’s character, Jamie Blake, in Cannonball Run - dressed up as a priest, driving a red Ferrari so “we can spread the lord’s word .. . .FASTER!” And I think he is just as legitimate a man of the cloth as Jamie Blake.

        The movie is only 30 years old, and I am 50, so, no, do not have to be over 72, just not a Gen X “Can’t understand anything that isn’t on an iPad” type.

        • Smarterthanyou

          Only 50? You are as cranky as a 72 year old.

    Just another hypocritical, lying, pseudo religious, greedy, backstabbing SOB. He joins all the others of his ilk in enormous overblown “churches” who do nothing for anyone but themselves, by crying poor mouth and “gimme gimme gimme” all the damn time for more and more money to allegedly ” spread the word of the Lord.”
    Well, it seems to me that Christ’s genuine followers were instructed to divest themselves of all personal possessions by selling them and giving the money to the poor, and THEN to spread the word. There were also some other instructions involving the likelihood of a rich man entering the kingdom of heaven being likened to the possibility of a camel passing through the eye of a needle.
    It seems all these guys have been taken in by the Antichrist and its promises of riches and lies of success and profit. It’s so obvious everytime they open their mouths. Nobody said any of them were actually obligated to travel the world to do anything. There’s plenty of work that needs doing in their own backyards. If folks just took care of the problems existing in their own neighborhoods, towns, cities and states, nobody would have to go anyplace else. But they literally can’t see the forest for the trees, and have been taken in by the Devil and their own selfishness and greed.
    I’m not any kind of practicing christian if any particular faith. But I have knowledge from my childhood of the Bible these greedy people are supposed to be, and claim to be, following. More like cherry-picking from. They aren’t following any of it. But they are expecting so many blind sheeple to be following them, and emptying their pockets to them at the same time to provide THEM with all manner of riches, which is completely against Christ’s teachings. Since they claim to be doing God’s work, they are doing a piss poor job of showing it. It’s a real shame that all those people can’t see it. If they would make those donations to local soup kitchens, homeless shelters, sheltered workshops for the disabled, Meals on Wheels fundraising and so on, their money would do much more for the people in their own neck of the woods, rather than putting this pig and those like him in fancy mansions, expensive cars and high powered jets.
    Maybe when those engines cut out on them during their excursions to places of no obvious religious value, it was a MESSAGE to them to knock it off, not something they were actually “saved from.”
    It’s time the government stopped subsidizing them as well, by not collecting income taxes on all that money. They need to start paying their own way, and if they are going to run religion like a business, it should be treated like one.

      Well said, Shari. It is very sad to me to see these religious con men (and women) taking advantage of their parishioners. And you are so right that there is so much to do right here in America. Act locally!

  • John DeMaria

    And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

  • John Maltese

    Religion is the biggest scam ever perpetrated against mankind.

  • DoigtDuPeuple

    I never understood how people can be such idiots. Televangelists have been asking for money for years, all of them are millionaires or intend and try to be. As soon as you see one of these hacks in a more than a 200$ suit, red flags should be raised.

    If you want to give your money to a “Church Representative” (and yes I include all religious leaders), do some research first. Make sure your money doesn’t go for his new Mercedes, Bentley or super car, that it doesn’t go for an extra house, or in this case a freaking plane! Ensure that the pastor, preacher or whoever you are giving your money away to actually goes to people in need, buying food, helping put clothes on children’s back ect.

    These hacks should be removed from the tax evasion they have for their “personal churches”. They should be thrown in jail.
