Trinity Foundation’s Pastor Planes project is currently tracking 63 aircraft used by church and ministry leaders, religious broadcasters and Christian universities. Daily tracking maps of the ministry aircraft are posted on Instagram and Twitter.
The number of ministry aircraft in America is likely to continue increasing in 2024. Several televangelists are raising money to purchase aircraft. During a December 31, 2023, New Year’s Eve service, Prophet Passion Java prophesied that he would get a jet.
Two of the newest jets added to the Pastor Planes list are owned by Brazilian-based churches planted in America. Edir Macedo, the wealthiest televangelist in the world, co-founded the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God. André Valadão, pastor of Lagoinha Orlando Church, is an Grammy-nominated singer.
Pastors Steven Furtick and Rodney Howard-Browne are not included on this list. Their churches do not own aircraft, but instead utilize charter aircraft.
