Jesse Duplantis: God Told Me to Believe for a $54M Private Jet

Jesse Duplantis, a TV preacher, announced to the world that he is "believing God" that his congregation will raise the tens of millions of dollars necessary to purchase a brand new private jet for him and his team. Duplantis proudly explained that he's had three jets in his career and mainly needs this new one so he can make direct flights as opposed to stopping for fuel.

"You know I've owned three different jets in my life and used them and used them and just burning them up for the Lord," the Louisiana televangelist declared in a video for "This Week with Jesse."

"Now some people believe that preachers shouldn't have jets. I really believe that preachers ought to go on every available voice, every available outlet, to get this gospel preached to the world," he said.
