COLLEGE PARK, GA - Claiming that it's "sorely needed" and "absolutely necessary for this ministry," Creflo Dollar launched a fundraising campaign Friday to acquire a new ministry spacecraft.

In the campaign video, the televangelist strikes an emotional tone, soberly explaining his ministry's dire need for such a space shuttle and asking each of them to consider sowing a seed toward its purchase.

"We strongly believe that this ministry is called to serve galaxy-wide," Dollar explains in the video. "My travel schedule simply cannot be fulfilled without the acquisition of a long-range, high-speed, interplanetary spacecraft. It's an absolute necessity."
