In 2010, his request for a new airplane for travelling between churches caught media attention and some accusations about allegedly too lavish lifestyle emerged. Parsley insisted that airplane isn’t a luxury item but a necessity. Ministry already had one that he used for church’s purposes but it had almost 500,000 miles. It should be replaced for a another used one (not brand new) and by doing so, the church could limit expenses on fuel and maintenance and in fact save a big time.
