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.

That's too funny - gonna use that for my tagline.
“Jesus drove a Honda, but didn’t talk about it: “For I did not speak of my own Accord” John 12:49 (KJV)” :-)

Jesse is a smartass. He is also wrong most of the time.
“Jesus came but for the lost sheep of the House of Israel and probably would evangelize today in Israel only. “
For God so loved the WORLD.....
That’s because Joel’s wife kept brawling with the stews.
“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.”
The Scriptures tell us he humbled Himself and rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. Next time, He’ll be on a white charger.
Yes He did, but He Himself ministered only in Israel. He did not go into the Gentile areas, so Jesse’s assumption that Jesus would fly around the world on a jet if His ministry was occurring today is incorrect.
I would argue that Samaria was considered Gentile by the Jews and Jesus went there.
But I agree with the previous poster about the Airboat.
Ditto.
