Controversial Reverend asks church people to donate unbelievable '$300 or more' each to fund 'essential' $65 million private jet

The founder and head of the World Changers Church International, Reverend Creflo Dollar uploaded on his website a five-minute video this week, asking 200,000 people to donate "$300 or more" individually. All so he could buy the fastest plane ever - the Gulfstream G650, costing $65 million - to help his church "continue to blanket the globe with the Gospel of grace," as reported in the Daily Mail.

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - World Changers Church International is centered on prosperity gospel, claiming that God wants and blesses the faithful with earthly material wealth.

Dollar has previously raised controversy for owning two Rolls Royces and multimillion dollar homes while refusing to disclose his salary, and in 2012 was arrested after allegedly attacking his own teenage daughter.

In order to "continue reaching a lost and dying world for the Lord Jesus Christ," a notice on pledging donations for the "Project G650 Campaign" appeared on the church's website.

It stated that the ministry is finding it hard to spread the word of God using their old 1984 airplane, which was purchased by the ministry on 1994. The notice spoke on the recent engine fail of their 31-year-old aviation service, and that there are millions of people who has never heard of Jesus Christ.

Televangelist Dollar preaches to people all over the world personally, but with an 8,500-seater amphitheater serving as their "World Dome" in Atlanta. This dome is where his sermons usually are conducted and transmitted on satellites to channels worldwide.  

However, the project is deemed controversial not just because of the cost, but the investigation reports that the Reverend and his family are also using the church's plane for vacation trips.

Reported by the Financial Juneteenth, there had been stops in Las Vegas, Miami and Hawaii which were logged on the Federal Aviation Administration.
