Now, after there has been such a controversy, regarding Bishop I.V. Hilliard asking for donations to fix his helicopter's blades, he has apologized. However, we do not know why there are so many people upset over this issue, since Bishop and Co-pastor Bridget Hilliard do help the poor and needy. How many prominent pastors of mega churches do so? Not many.
Usually SCR does have a lot to say against some rich and famous ministers, but the Hilliard's is one couple that has shown they care about the those whom have not only been low income, but homeless. Bishop Hilliard and his wife, First Lady Bridgette Hilliard have given free meals and prayed with those whom have no place to go, unlike some of their rich colleagues in the ministry. Possibly, people may think they should have apologized for asking for donations, but there is no reason to get upset, when so many other rich and famous celebrity preachers ask for donations and no one says a thing.
Furthermore, we do wish we could hear Bishop IV Hilliard go back to the way he allegedly claims he used to preach, like an old fashion baptist preacher without sophistication. People do need hear more about salvation, being filled with the Holy Ghost and being healed, rather than mostly prosperity. In conclusion, we have heard so many other stories about parishioners donating money to other rich celebrity pastors for their jets, fine cars and homes, Bishop Hilliard's request is nothing new and should not be a surprise to anyone.
Now, we do not hear much controversy about Bishop I.V. and First Lady, Co-pastor Bridget Hilliard much. However, this pastor, Saiko Woods who has a very small church is complaining about their wealth. Allegedly, he says it is not right for Bishop I.V. Hilliard to ask for donations for his jet, he could pay for new blades out of his own pocket. Pastor Saiko Woods seems to be focusing more on what the Hilliard's possess, instead of saving souls. Their wealth is nothing new and no different than other multimillionaire pastors of mega ministries, the only difference is, they seem to have an outreach for the poor and needy, allegedly.According to MyFoxHouston.com, there's no question Bishop IV Hilliard is a rich Christian...Federal records show he and his wife first Lady Bridget Hilliard owns their own jet...an aviation expert tells FOX 26 news this Hawker is valued at $2 million. It's housed here at Hooks airport in Spring. The hangar we're told owned by New Light and has a value of about $3 million. This is also where Bishop Hilliard keeps the church's Bell Jet Ranger helicopter with a value of about $1 million. All we can say is this, there are not many pastors of mega ministries who provide for low income housing and also has fed the homeless. In our opinion, if the Hilliard's are really caring about those in need, then possibly there is nothing more to say, just keep them in our prayers. Watch Video
