Well-known televangelist Creflo Dollar is the target of a new lawsuit.

California businessman Devone Lawson filed the suit against the pastor Wednesday.

Lawson claims he spent a year working with Dollar's ministry to develop a spiritual text messaging service, but was then shut out when dollar started another company with a similar service called "Word on the Go."

Attorneys for the inventor estimate the service generates more than $50 million a year.

No one at Dollar's ministry could be reached for comment.

Dollar is the founder of World Changers Church International Church in Atlanta, Ga.
