Creflo Dollar’s ministry says he will get his $65 million jet anyway

Dollar’s ministry sought $300 donations from 200,000 people to buy the Gulfstream G650, a twin-engine jet.

An Atlanta megachurch's board of directors says it is moving forward in a campaign to buy a private jet.

The board of directors for World Changers Church Inteational and Creflo Dollar ministries said in a statement Wednesday the Gulfstream G650 Dollar wants is necessary to continue inteational ministry and aid work. The jet is valued at more than $65 million.

The board says an initial appeal for donations didn't adequately communicate that Dollar was looking for donations from like-minded people, not the public at large. The board says a revamped video will be released soon.

Dollar is a prominent African-American preacher based near Atlanta who has built successful ministries on the prosperity gospel. Ministers in this tradition often hold up their own wealth as evidence that the teaching works.
