The board of World Changers Church International, or Creflo Dollar Ministries, founded by popular televangelist Creflo Dollar, said in a statement that the organization will acquire the luxury multimillion-dollar Gulfstream G650 jet Dollar has been asking for, the Christian Post reports.
It is our belief that this ministry is called to serve people globally to literally change the world according to the Great Commission and our infrastructure and operational plan reflect the worldwide nature of that assignment, the WCCI board said in the statement. Our pastors share the gospel of Jesus more than 300 times per year in churches, arenas, venues, convention centers, stadiums and other facilities across the entire planet and are committed to aggressive travel schedules that cannot be fulfilled via any means other than private aircraft.
The board defended its choice of the luxury multimillion-dollar G650, saying it is the best, and it is a reflection of the level of excellence at which this organization chooses to operate.
In lieu of the controversy, the WCCI board made it clear earlier in the statement that the decision wasnt Dollars alone, but an action of this board.
According to the WCCI board, purchasing the luxury private jet is following the Word of God.

Now there's just this little thing about about a backlog of G650 orders until 2018... But I'm thinking payer will fix that for the good Reverend, also.

"We, the World Changers family, so value the lives, the safety and the well-being of our pastors and leaders that we wish to provide to them the best air travel experience possible," the WCCI board proclaimed.
He had to have "the fastest plane ever built in civilian aviation".
