As a church they don’t pay taxes, which probably makes a jet easily affordable.

They are far from a mega church. Also, they legitimately do a lot of good for the community. I've met them, I really like the Hankins.

Dont know why they need a jet. Are you sure it's not for the father, who is a traveling evangelist I believe.

Dont be obtuse.

The church originally was ran by the father, who moved on to do traveling and writing and left it to his son. The father travels a lot and such.

Knowing the church, I doubt that those pastors got that plane for themselves. It would make more sense that the plane belongs to the "Church Organization " and they just use it.

I could be wrong. I can personally say that attending their church helped me when I was in a horrible place in my life. Pastor Hankins took a personal interest in me and the men I met there helped me grow. It's a good church and I believe them to be good people.

I’m assuming by the “speaking in tongues” in the message of faith on the website, the father is not the Hankins from Lake Charles.

I ran across that guy back in tbe day. Worked at a LC bank. He came in to discuss a loan for his Trinity Baptist new building. He whipped the congregation weekly for $$$'s. Bad bad vibe. The Jesus business is big business these days.

Why wouldn't it be? It's not like a 35 year old Citation is a nice jet.

If that congregation decided that, say, $400k or so purchase was the way they wanted to conduct their business, why the frick do so many people care?

I am constantly amazed at the fricking morons on this board who want to dictate what other people should do with their money. Bunch of goddamn imbeciles in here.

I flew Houma to Lafayette in a Citation. It was stupid but the owner does shite like that all the time. I ride free so I’m not complaining.

To be fair, you can get an older Citation like that for fairly reasonable and IIRC they are single pilot operators so they are less expensive to operate than a lot of jets.

I always wonder about that. There's 3 in Monroe/West Monroe area that drive those.

Even if they take home $1m per year, spending that kind of money for an auto seems like a big chunk.
I guess they finance which would kinda kill the pleasure for me.





Most high end sports cars like that are on lease
