Kenneth Copeland, televangelist, thanks donors, Jesus for buying him a private jet

Televangelist Kenneth Copeland is thanking his ministry followers and Jesus Christ for helping him acquire a multimillion-dollar Gulfstream V jet.

In a blog post asking donors for more money, the Texas-based Kenneth Copeland Ministries said God told Mr. Copeland that the Gulfstream V was the jet for him to continue his mission around the world. The ministry said the jet was purchased in full from filmmaker Tyler Perry in November.

It is unclear how much Mr. Copeland’s ministry paid for the jet but AV Buyer lists the lowest-priced Gulfstream V on the market priced at just under $6 million, The Christian Post reported.
