A Dollar and a Dream, by Isabel Wilkerson
This is not your typical storefront church with the after service fish fry. This is another world. You know you're getting close when
traffic comes to a dead stop near the pawn shops on Old National Highway south of Atlanta.
I sit in traffic with the masses, watching as some people give up, park on a grassy median, and walk the rest of the way, Bibles in hand. Farther up
around the corner, sheriff's deputies direct the hordes. The congregants are in Sunday-go-to-meeting suits, sneakers and stilettos, cut-off jeans and
baggy T-shirts, dreadlocks and do-rags. There's an urgency about their stride, a thrill, even, as if they are part of something bigger than themselves,
bigger than most any churchgoer could imagine.

Creflo and Taffi Dollar, by Dana Slangle
Leading more than 20,000 parishioners keeps Dr. Creflo Dollar on the go. Add to that, the founder of World Changers Ministries (WCM) of College Park,
GA, reaches nearly a billion people a day through his award-winning show, "Changing Your World." The author, speaker, teacher and publisher also oversees
ministries and staff members of his global organization, which includes World Changers Church International.
As executive director of WCM, CEO of Arrow Records, the ministry's recording company, and leader of the Women's Fellowship, Taffi Dollar works alongside
her husband in many capacities. "I'm pretty flexible. It may be preaching, it may be conducting business meetings, it may be traveling - just whatever,"
explains Taffi, the mother of the couple's five children, who often teaches on family and parenting topics. As a minister's wife, she hopes she helps others
"understand God's will and purpose for their life and to see themselves fitting within God's overall picture," she says.

recording company, and mother of the couple's five children. How they met: They met at West Georgia College in the early 1980s when she
attended a Bible class he taught at college. Marital status: They have been married since 1985. She says: "We keep God first and each
other second." He says: "She's the balance in my life," he says. "She's not only the balance, but a lot of times when there are strong
decisions that need to be made, when she and I get together, it really helps us to get the mind of God on certain things. Besides her being the love of
my life, the balance of my life, the friend in my life, I don't want to live without her."

Creflo and Taffi Dollar
Did you ask every question we wanted an answer! I really do like the way you go behind the camera and lights and ask about the rumors and perceptions.
Keep going after the truth. Thanks for allowing them to address us. Kevin J., Washington, D.C.
This article was insightful. I learned a lot about the Dollars, and most of all, I heard their hearts. I am not really into televangelism, and I realized
after reading this article that these two people see themselves as pastors not only to their two churches but also to anyone who will give them an ear.
It gave me a sense of understanding that I didn't have before. Question, can you sit the other television ministers down, and let us hear from them?

Dollar helping to define life's worth, by Bob Makin
Dr. Creflo A. Dollar always wanted to live up to his name by becoming a millionaire. But he also wanted to be a pastor and preach the word of God.
As a televangelist whose books, CDs, DVDs and personal appearances are in high demand, he has done both. He will sign copies of his latest book,
"8 Steps to Create the Life You Want: The Anatomy of a Successful Life," from 1 to 3 p.m. today at Barnes & Nobile, 240 Route 22 W., Springfield.
The appearance comes at a time when Dollar's success is under scrutiny.
