Looks like he's only available to help American's become debt free.

Edit: Just wondering if these cheques the people are getting are from the Bank of Nigeria...

Fooking right

from wiki

At Popoff's peak in 1987, according to his comptroller, he took in $4.3 million a month. After his exposure on the Tonight show he declared bankruptcy in 1987.
According to Charity Navigator, in FYE 2004, Peter Popoff received $548,167 as president of his organization and the Peter Popoff Ministries raised $16,220,066 in revenue in FYE 2004. Then in FYE 2005, Popoff received $628,732, his wife Elizabeth received $203,029, his son received $182,166, and daughter received $176,290 with $23,556,469 in revenue. These figures are from IRS documents, which "only outline the millions of dollars people give Popoff's organization in the US."

So if I go to the Amsterdam on a drug and sex binge, running up a massive debt on my credit card, God will pay it off?

Peter Popoff seems like a good guy, I'm going for it

Really? No. This is called "prosperity gospel" preaching, and you could get some in Galway - if you're a woman. That was in 2004, dunno if it's still going.

PS: see also this thread. They're here ... :eek:

You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

God also wants to inform you that you could have been mis sold PPI Insurance you either didn't need, or didn't know you were paying for, and in truth the Lord says you can claim back up to 4K if you act now!

For that matter, did you - like my son Jesus, have a trip or fall or crucifixion at work that wasn't your fault...then you could be entitled to compensation...make those rom...I mean bastards, pay!

In all honest I couldn't care less what some American religious nuts do with their money. An idiot was scammed out of his money? Good!
