Must See: Billionaire Televangelist Takes Delivery Of Debt-Free Gulfstream

It makes me really sad that this isn’t a parody. Kenneth Copeland is a popular televangelist who boasts of being a billionaire:

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding him, though last week he uploaded a video to YouTube that will make you cringe. Specifically, his ministry has just taken possession of a Gulfstream V debt-free. Don’t worry, though — “the Holy Spirit confirmed to Brother Copeland that the Gulfstream V was the plane the Lord had set aside for [him]” (that’s great news, because I was worried the Holy Spirit had another plane in mind for him… maybe the middle seat in the last row of a Spirit Airlines plane?).

Here’s how he describes how the ministry has “sown a Gulfstream:”

We must think of ourselves as sowers of that magnitude, and as harvesters who can reap at that higher place! We haven’t just sown our individual CX gifts; collectively, through Mission 3, WE HAVE SOWN A GV as a team. If you calculate the hundredfold return on Mission 3 alone…what a massive harvest! God wants that kind of prosperity in the hands of Partners like us who will fund the gospel. Get ready. This team is going to a new place in the Kingdom. And it’s going to be life- and ministry-altering!

That’s right, thanks to their generosity they’re going to “new places in the Kingdom!”

While they’ve raised enough money to buy the plane in cash, they need more money now. Specifically, they want another $17 million to upgrade the avionics, upgrade the interior, upgrade the existing runway, and to build a new hangar:

But our work as the Elite CX Team is not done. Overall, this Gulfstream V is in outstanding condition and is an exceptional value; however, before it goes into regular service for KCM, we want to upgrade the avionics to meet new standards the FAA will require in the near future. We also need to reconfigure the interior to better serve KCM’s needs for international flights. In the next few weeks, the avionics and interior work will commence. The cost of these upgrades is approximately $2.5 million. So, as Elite CX Team members, we need to set our faith NOW on receiving that additional seed so that we can sow it within the next three to four months, as the upgrades are completed.

Beyond the purchase of the Gulfstream V and its upgrades, remember that the overall Mission 3 goal is $17 million. By sowing the balance of those funds as the CX Team, we will be sowing toward: the construction of a new hangar, upgrading the existing runway, and purchasing special GV maintenance equipment.

Here’s the video of Kenneth Copeland taking possession of the new plane:

This isn’t the first time that Kenneth Copeland has talked about a private jet. In the past he enlightened us as to why they actually need private jets. Specifically, there are demons on commercial aircraft, and the devil is just trying to mislead people into thinking that they’re being excessive by flying on private jets. Here’s that video:

I… I… just can’t.

This Copeland creature is an embarrassment, a vile insult, to my hometown of Fort Worth. Every time I see that piece of crud with his jet-black died hair (or maybe a rug on that evil orb?) I sense evil and it's most practiced leader. That creepy Copelad and his gross wife are Lucifers floozies, a couple of carni' act puppets. Sickening.

These super wealthy televangelists should all convert to Islam to understand the real meaning of religion. Half baked cunts like Kenneth Copeland needs a make over to Islam. Kenneth Copeland, if offered 6 million dollars, would strip naked & have an orgy with a chimpanzee, but it might be a little hard differentiating Copeland from that chimp as Copeland too is similar to a chimp in quite some ways ! Kenneth Copeland has monkey semen in his bum & the devil's brains in his head. K. Copeland's ministries are fraudulent & deceit ministries. Mostly if not all, false. In actuality, there is NO Jesus in Copeland's life. Only money. Copeland has to put forward that false front to try & fool people(the lame minded ones).

I was wondering why he is still taking tithing when he has 750 to 900 $MILLION$ dollars? I thought God's money was to help the widows and orphans, and giving extra coats to those who have no coat etc etc etc??? The world certainly has over a billion poor and widows and orphans and hungry who need help which should be what God's money should be used for. Why would he need a multi-million dollar private jet when their are much cheaper aircraft to get him there? Seems that money would be better spent on the poor and needy of God's people. These TV Evangelist are living like kings and children in many nations are diging in garbage dumps for food . parents are abandoning children all over africa because they can not afford to care for them. If this white boy had almost a billion dollars like Kenneth does I'd see if the poor areas in parts of africa had permanent water deep down and would pay for deep wells for water. Or hire a team and do a relocation to areas where water is. Maybe build a few million in shelters that were better than grass and stick hut against harsh weather, a few more million of medical care and food. A 150,000 home is good enough for me. I would not need 1500 acres with a private air strip and aircraft and multi-million dollar mansion. Beware of con artist who think the bible is mythology and see christians as idiots they can get rich off of. My advice for all christians is to visit a local Mission and see first hand how they are feeding the poor and have donated clothing for the poor, dental and medical clinics at some, and see them helping and praying for the poor. That is when you may realize your money is being used in a Godly way. Yes churches need money to pay the bills and it's good to have a place of meeting to pray, but after the bills are paid and the pastor and staff are paid a living wage, the millions over and above should be used to help the poor.

The Pope charters planes. So did Billy Graham and other legit religious. This guy Copeland ants to start an airline. Creflo Dollar has a bigger airplane than Kenny has, and I bet Kenny is jealous. Just look at that face and think.
