Jesse Duplantis, the Destrehan-based prosperity gospel televangelist with a global reach, is asking disciples for money to buy a jet that costs $54 million "so we can go anywhere in the world in one stop." He seeks the donations in a video posted last week on his ministry's website.
"I really believe that if the Lord Jesus Christ was physically on the Earth today, he wouldn't be riding a donkey," Duplantis says in the video. "He'd be in an airplane flying all over the world."
He says his 40-year-old Jesse Duplantis Ministries has paid cash for three private jets and been "just burning them up for the Lord Jesus Christ." The most recent purchase was in 2006, he says.
Now he has his sights set on a Dassault Falcon 7X, a three-engine jet with a range of 5,950 nautical miles. Its customizable cabins accommodate 12 to 16 passengers. A 2017 write-up on SherpaReport.com, a website focused on private aviation, said the list price for a new Falcon 7X was $54 million.

I will pray, but as a result of prayer decide not to contribute.
I haven’t contributed yet to the Clinton foundation.
Heck I haven’t even bought my carbon credits.
duplantis is a piece of shit. He is no man of God. Someone tell him that I said he should F off.
AL knows....and he's not happy!
And Kenneth Copeland reminds me of an evil ventriloquist dummy
I'm thinking Mr. Haney from Green Acres.
There is one born every minute and the Lord will lead them to me........Whooo Hoooo!
I got to admit Jesse is actually funny and not the first televangelist to fundraise for a jet. But seriously folks.
Coach? It’s just a long tube with a bunch of demons.

Jesus could have used a chariot, a litter, ride on a horse or in a carriage. He did none of those as recorded in the Gospels.
Excellent point! And, by the way, I’m guessing a rickshaw type ride in Jesus time, cost not more than the smallest coin of the realm, because today, in the Philippines, such a ride costs almost NOTHING. Most likely, Jesus walked nearly everywhere He went, not because he was too poor to ride, but because He was a) setting an example of servanthood and humility, b) conserving His money for tithing, giving to the poor, and using it to buy food, etc. for those in his ministry. Obviously, he didn’t really need money, because he could miraculously produce any of those things, but he reserved that gift for special occasions, to show the mercy and goodness of God. When he instructed his disciple to catch a fish to get a coin from its mouth, to pay taxes, it wasn’t because he could get money no other way. He was teaching us to depend upon the goodness of God, to provide our needs.
I try never to criticize a person to whom God has given a ministry, (which I believe God did give to DePlantis), but let me just say, though the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable, not all recipients of those gifts keep their end of the conditions of its acceptance.

Hell, ten years ago, I had to make do with a Cessna CJ-2.
Otherwise Jesus walked everywhere He went.
You willing to do that too?
I guess he figured that if it world for Creflo Dollar and Ken Copeland et al, he might as well cash in on it too.
Those who embrace Christianity for the profit the can skim off of it are going to be paying a high price down the road.
LOL!!!
It’s been posted elsewhere, but worth repeating:
Jesus drove a Honda, but didn’t talk about it: “For I did not speak of my own Accord” John 12:49 (KJV)
Just another phony huckster. Anybody who sends money is an idiot.
Sure, and wearing an Armani suit with a Rolex on his wrist.
An ass was good enough transport for Jesus.
Archeologists discover Jesus’s Gulfstream jet:
“ISRAEL—New historical evidence uncovered in present-day Israel suggests that Jesus and His disciples traveled around the region preaching the good news of Christ’s coming in a luxurious Gulfstream V jet, sources confirmed Thursday.
Archaeologists uncovered the ruins of Jesus’s private airport just outside Nazareth, as well as the rusted-out remains of a luxury jet they now believe He used to fly from sermon to sermon.” ...
