BREAKING NEWS – New Orleans, Louisiana – A Louisiana-based televangelist Jesse Duplantis, is asking his followers to donate money for a $54 million jet that can “go anywhere in the world in one stop.” “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,” Duplantis says in a video posted to his ministries’ website. He is now reportedly seeking the funds for a Dassault Falcon 7X, worth $54 million. The problem with the previous jets, he says, is that they require multiple stops to refuel. But flying the Falcon 7X, Duplantis says, will allow him to save money and not pay “those exorbitant prices with jet fuel all over the world.” When he was told that there was a way he could fly even faster, he alleged that God told him to tell his congregation to pray that NASA donates to him, the Space Shuttle.
