HOW much does it cost to preach the gospel to the world? One
televangelist will argue that the exact price is $65 million…and that is
just the cost of the private jet without fuel. What?!
Creflo Dollar, the founder and lead pastor of World Changers Church
International, is campaigning to raise money for a private jet. He has a
good reason to be on the market for a new plane; Dollar and his crew
were recently involved in a near-tragedy when one of the engines failed
in the televangelist’s current jet, a 1984 model. The expert pilot was
able to land the aircraft safely, and there were no injuries in the
incident.
The fact that Dollar needs a new jet does not have people riled, it’s the one he picked out.
According to Bloomberg, the Gulfstream G650 is not just any plane,
but “the holy grail of private jets.” The G650, which holds between 11
and 18 passengers, can reach speeds of 610 mph and has a 7,000 mile
range before needing fuel. Millionaires have been put on a waiting list
to get one…So it seems like just the aircraft a pastor needs to spread
the Word, right?
