ATLANTA, USA — Recent rumors circulating on the internet regarding the death of prominent American pastor and televangelist Creflo Dollar have been dispelled. A viral YouTube video claiming the demise of Dollar, the founder of World Changers Church International (WCCI) in College Park, Georgia, caused widespread concern among his followers worldwide.
However, these reports have been confirmed as false. Creflo Dollar Ministries has recently posted a video featuring the pastor delivering a sermon during this holiday season, clearly showing that he is alive, well, and in good health. This video has reassured his congregation and fans globally that the rumors are unfounded.
Born on January 28, 1962, Creflo Augustus Dollar, Jr., established his ministry in 1986, starting with a modest gathering of eight people in a school cafeteria. Since then, WCCI has expanded dramatically, now boasting a congregation of approximately 30,000 members.
Dollar is known for his advocacy of the prosperity gospel, a doctrine that has attracted both a significant following and substantial criticism. Critics argue that the theology can lead to the financial exploitation of its adherents, promising wealth and health in exchange for contributions.
Despite these controversies, Dollar continues to be a significant figure in the American and global religious landscape, leading not only WCCI but also the Creflo Dollar Ministerial Association and Creflo Dollar Ministries. His influence extends through various media outlets, including television and radio broadcasts, reaching millions around the world.
The incident with the viral video serves as a reminder of the rapid spread of misinformation on social media platforms and the importance of verifying news through official channels. Creflo Dollar’s ministry encourages those concerned to focus on his ongoing messages of faith and grace rather than baseless rumors.
