Staff of Creflo Dollar of World Changers Church International in College Park, Ga. had posted the video on the organization’s website this month as Dollar asked for 200,000 people to donate $300 dollars each so that he could purchase a new G650 airplane.
He explained in the footage that his current 1984 jet, which he purchased in 1999, experienced engine failure in London on a recent trip to Australia. Dollar said that the plane is now grounded and is in need of being replaced.
“Due to this recent incident coupled with the 31 years the airplane has been in service, we believe it is time to replace this aircraft so that our pastors and staff can continue to safely and swiftly share the good news of the gospel worldwide,” the webpage, which is now unavailable, stated. “We need your help to continue reaching a lost and dying world for the Lord Jesus Christ.”
“A longer, wider cabin and the choice of 12 floorplans offer more design configurations for meetings, entertaining and relaxing,” the manufacturer website explains. “A convection oven, large ice drawers and fitted storage for flatware and crystal increase dining options. After dinner, relax in a handcrafted leather recliner. Or retreat to a private stateroom. The choice is yours.”
“The work they (the Dollars) do is important,” public relations representative Juda Engelmayer told the Atlanta Constitution Journal on Friday. “It’s feeding, clothing, educating people, as well as passing on the word of God.”
But as word broke about the project, some still expressed dismay as to why Dollar, who leads a 30,000-member megachurch and lives in a million dollar home, needs such an expensive aircraft, which is reportedly sought out by billionaires. David Graham, Global Express aircraft captain with Advanced Air Management, told the publication that Engelmayer’s claims don’t add up.
“[The aircraft] cannot carry 12 people and 100,000# of food and supplies,” he said. “Creflo is a crook and scammin’ his church in the name of the Lord.”
Significant backlash also broke out on social media.
“Most people think the appeal is very extreme, and they basically believe that they are sending the wrong message to the world about Christianity,” Leonardo Blair told WSB-TV Atlanta.
While the appeal page has apparently been removed from the World Changers website, contributions for “Project G650″ are still being accepted on the donation page. Spokespersons for the organization state that the campaign is being reassessed and that Dollar is flying commercial in the meantime.

- Reverend Creflo Dollar is the head of World Changers Church International
- The 53-year-old preaches 'that God wants to bless the faithful with earthly riches' and the church has about 30,000 members
- He has an estimated net worth of $27 million
- Has appealed online for 200,000 people to donate $300 so he can buy Gulfstream G650, worth $65 million and favored by billionaires
- Says the plane is essential for him to 'reach a lost and dying world for the Lord Jesus Christ'
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'.
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.
Open palm: Reverend Creflo Dollar of
the World Changers Church International wants 200,000 people from across
the world to each donate '$300 or more' so that he can buy the world's
fastest private jet
Battling: This notice has been posted
on the church's website, pleading for donations so that Dollar can
'continue reaching a lost and dying world for the Lord Jesus Christ'
Goal: Dollar wants to spend the $65
million he hopes to make in donations on a Gulfstream G650 business jet,
a plane favored by billionaires that bills itself as the fastest plane
built in civil aviation
Televangelist: Creflo Dollar is the
founder of World Changers Church International, which has about 30,000
members and an 8,500 seater amphitheater in Atlanta called the 'World
Dome'
Among
the billionaires who own a Gulfstream G650 are Steve Jobs' wife Lauren
Powell Jobs, Wynn Resorts CEO Steve Wynn add Nike co-founder Phil
Knight.
There is a long waiting list for the aircraft, with the next round of planes not due until 2017.
According
to the Creflo Dollar 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.
'Recently on an overseas trip to a global conference, one of the engines failed.
Arrested: The Reverend was charged in 2012 for allegedly attacking his teenage daughter
'By
the grace of God, the expert pilot, who's flown with Creflo for almost
20 years, landed the plane safely without injury or harm to any
passengers.'
The Christian Post first reported that Dollar insisted that he needs the jet to continue sharing the word of Jesus.
He
preaches all over the world, but primarily works out of a 8,500-seat
amphitheater in Atlanta called the 'World Dome', satelliting the sermons
to churches all over the country.
The
website pledge continued: '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," the appeal continued before asking supporters of the
ministry to sow a $300 seed into the airplane fund, billed Project
G650.'
However, according to Financial Juneteenth,
a Report of the Senate Finance Committee, Minority Staff Review of
WCCI, found that Dollar's current jet had also been used for a variety
of vacation flights, including stops in Las Vegas, Nevada, Miami,
Florida and Hawaii, citing Federal Aviation Administration figures.
Dollar has refused over the years to disclose his salary, but has an estimated net worth of $27 million.
He has five children to his wife, Taffi, who he married in 1985.
Couple: Dollar and his wife, Taffi (pictured together) were married in 1985 and have five children
Home: Dollar and his family primarily live in this multi-million dollar in Fayettville, Georgia, south of Atlanta
In June 2012, his 15-year-old daughter called 911, saying her father repeatedly punched and choked her at their Atlanta home.
The
teenager also said it wasn't the first time something like that had
happened and that she felt threatened living in the house.
Dollar was arrested and charged with family brutality and juvenile cruelty.
The charges were later dropped, but he was required to complete a three-month anger management program.
At
his next sermon, two days following the arrest, Dollar spent several
minutes addressing the incident, starting with: 'I will say this
emphatically: I should have never been arrested.'
Dollar has strenuously denied the accusations, saying it was a family argument with 'heightened emotions'.
Damaged: Dollar says the church's
current plane, bought in 1999, is broken and needs to be replaced, or he
will be unable to continue working around the world
Dollar's wife Taffi has been known to introduce her husband at his sermons.
During her address, she claims Dollar comes 'face to face with God, like Moses'.
She
also includes an admonition saying that 'every tongue that rises up
against' (Dollar) 'will be struck down', Financial Juneteenth reported.
The World Changers Church International (WCCI) has about 30,000 constituents.
Controversial theology: Reverend
Dollar's ministries are based on the prosperity gospel, which teaches
that God wants to bless the faithful with earthly riches
