The founder and leader of a controversial Atlanta-based megachurch has appealed online for 200,000 people to each donate '$300 or more' so that he can buy a $65 million private jet favored by high-flying billionaires.
Reverend Creflo Dollar, 53, is the head of the World Changers Church International, a Christian ministry centered around the prosperity gospel, which preaches that God wants to bless the faithful with earthly riches.
The televangelist, who is one of the most prominent African-American preachers in the United States, this week put a five-minute video up on his website pledging for donations for a Gulfstream G650 - which claims to be the fastest plane ever built in civilian aviation - so that 'World Changers Church International can continue to blanket the globe with the Gospel of grace'.
Home: Dollar and his family primarily live in this multi-million dollar in Fayettville, Georgia, south of Atlanta
Dollar - who is known to own two Rolls Royce's and multi-million dollar homes in Atlanta and New Jersey - last hit headlines in 2012, after being arrested for allegedly attacking his 15-year-old daughter.
The messed up thing is people will literally donate rent money to him for a jet if he says it's in the name of Jesus, and be somewhere hoping and praying they get it back.
& ofcourse -- it's in my city Atlanta. Literally SO many of the big pastors in Atlanta have been exposed for doing this ****. A joke.
I'm not a religious person by any means but I believe in respect, and I think it's so disrespectful to do this in the name of Christianity towards those who follow the religion.
Ad under the cut..
