ATLANTA — An Atlanta megachurch pastor’s request of his followers to pay for a new private jet while thousands around him struggle economically received heavy criticisms on social media, prompting the online campaign site to be taken down.
Creflo Dollar, the multimillionaire pastor of World Changers Church International, Atlanta, started Project G650 to raise $65 million to buy himself a new Gulfstream G650 jet in the name of spreading the gospel around the world.
According to an Atlanta blog site, Dollar is worth $27 million — which is more than 200 times that of the community in which his World Changers Church International is located. It was proposed that each follower donate $300 to replace Dollar’s previous plane that had been damaged in an accident.
