Interesting. What about the poor little ol' next door neighbor.

>>This version of Benny and the jet has nothing to do with the hit
>>Elton John song.
>>
>>"Benny" is Benny Hinn, the Dallas-area televangelist. The jet is Dove
>>One, a Gulfstream G4SP that his ministry recently acquired, according
>>to his Web site.
>>
>>Hinn's ministry did not return a call from the Houston Chronicle, but
>>it has very publicly sought help paying for the plane. Hinn wants
>>6,000 of his "partners" to donate $1,000 each toward the down
>>payment. Extensive information about Dove One on the Web site doesn't
>>include the total cost, but similar Gulfstream jets appear to sell
>>for at least $30 million.
>>
>>Donors of $1,000 or more get a scale model of Dove One and their
>>names inscribed inside the plane, Hinn said.
>>
>>But a frequent critic of televangelists, Ole Anthony, suggests
>>another way if Hinn wants to reach unchurched people around the globe.
>>
>>"For the amount of money it takes to fly one of these things, he
>>could take his whole staff first-class on a commercial flight," said
>>Anthony, head of the Trinity Foundation in Dallas.
>>
>>Anthony's group has scrutinized Hinn's ministry for years, focusing
>>particularly on such expenditures as a California parsonage
>>overlooking the Pacific Ocean, reportedly worth about $10 million.
>>
>>Hinn, on his Web site, says he is merely answering God's call in
>>Isaiah 6:8: "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?"
>>
>>Hinn's response: "Long ago I said, 'I will go, Lord. Send me!' But I
>>cannot do it without you, nor can I do all our wonderful Lord has
>>called me to do without Dove One!"
