Televangelist Jesse Duplantis Wants 54 Million Dollars For A Private Jet, And He Wants His Congregation To Pay For It

Jesse Duplantis wants 54 million dollars so that he can buy a brand new Falcon X so that he can fly all over the world preaching his version of the prosperity gospel.  But of course he isn’t going to come up with that 54 million dollars himself.  Instead, he wants all of his followers to come up with the money.  I think that this is a perfect example that shows why so many people are sick and tired of the institutional church today.  No minister of the gospel should ever even think of using 54 million dollars on a private plane, and nobody should ever keep following any minister that would make such a request.  Of course multitudes will continue to tune in to his television show, and his meetings will continue to be full.  It is said that there is “a sucker born every minute”, and anyone that would follow Jesse Duplantis definitely falls into that category.
