Man Named Jesus Prays For $70M

A man known as Philly Jesus has launched a $70 million online fundraising campaign in an effort to take his message worldwide.

Michael Grant, known as “Philly Jesus,” is a familiar sight at Philadelphia’s LOVE Park, where he’s often snapping photos with faithful fans.

But he now wants to take his message of faith global. And he’s using GoFundMe to make it happen.

His $70 million fundraising goal includes money for a helicopter, a jet, tour buses and a stadium. He also needs business cards, printed materials and computers, his online fundraiser explains.

As of Monday afternoon, Philly Jesus needs $69,999,908 more to meet his goal.

So far, he has raised $92 through four donors.

“It will cost me thousands of dollars every week..to get this ministry started and aired/broadcasted throughout the WORLD,” Philly Jesus explains via GoFundMe.

“If you feel the Holy Spirit nudging u...leading u 2 sow financially into this Ministry that I am starting, just obey him..do it immediately (ASAP)...and i know YOU will be blessed...because there is a Blessing for Obedience,” the fundraising profile says.

This is not the first time Philly Jesus has made headlines.

Last year, he was charged with disorderly conduct and failure to disperse after his arrest following a skate at Dilworth Plaza in Philadelphia. An online outcry followed the arrest, with supporters tweeting #FreePhillyJesus to express their support of Grant, who is often seen walking around Philly dressed as Jesus.

Following his highly-publicized arrested, Grant hired Charles Gibbs, who the Philadelphia Tribune called a “lawyer for the high powered.”
