Televangelist and scam artist, Jerry Savelle, says that while everyone else was suffering during the pandemic, he was having “the best of times” because God gave him a private jet.

Savelle, who was speaking at a Kenneth Copeland event–who is also a scam artist who rips people off in exchange for private jets–is the president of Jerry Savelle Ministries International and the founder of Heritage of Faith Christian Center. Savelle told the audience that he doesn’t “just preach in nations,” but that he has “an apostolic anointing,” and therefore, he needs a private jet to be able to do what God has called him to do.

“I’m a planter. I plant Bible schools. I plant churches. I plant orphanages. I built medical facilities,” he said. “And I cannot get to all the places I need to go through commercial airlines.”

He then told the audience that he had been planting seeds for 20 years into Kenneth Copeland’s airline scam and that he had been “believing God” for 20 years for a private jet.

“And guess when it produced the harvest,” he beguiled. “During a time when the world was screaming ‘worst of times,’ I was having my ‘best of times.'”
