Kirk Franklin Slams Creflo Dollar For His $65 Million Public Appeal To Buy A Private Jet

Popular prosperity preacher and tele-evangelist Creflo Dollar was a few weeks ago shamed into deleting a public fundraising campaign to raise $65 Million to buy a new private jet for himself [read here]. The money was supposedly to help him and his ministry “continue to blanket the globe with the Gospel of grace.” The fundraiser urged 200,000 people to contribute 300 US dollars each to purchase the Gulfstream G-650 jet.

Redeemed Church Heartlessly Mocks Death Of Book Pirate With Open Heavens Advert

Where is our humanity? As Christians, where is our compassion and love? An advertisement message using the picture above and promoting Pastor EA Adeboye's daily devotional, Open Heavens, has gone viral on Facebook and I find it utterly distasteful that it is supposedly coming from the camp of a man of God.

Creflo Dollar Deletes Fundraiser For $60 Million Private Jet After Backlash

Yesterday, world renowned prosperity preacher, Pastor Creflo Dollar created a fundraising page on his website for one of the most luxurious private jets in production, a Gulfstream G650, to cost $60 Million. He requested for 200,000 believers to donate $300 each to help him and the church quickly reach the goal and purchase the private jet. There was an immediate online backlash once the story leaked on theroot and elsewhere, and now, the goFundme page has been removed.

The church had been making the demand because, they said, the private jet the pastor had been using before now had recently suffered engine failure leading to an emergency landing, which is not a good thing. The intro begging for donations re-iterated that Pastor Creflo Dollar needed a replacement so as to ensure that he, his wife, and staff members of the church can get to their overseas engagements safely and quickly, at any needed time.
