In no way defending or suspecting anything Dave's cult is doing but it's entirely possible that Crowderites in (for example) invited him and bought him a ticket from donations,
and/or
a common way with Church circles is that Dave pays his own way out of whatever money he has.
After speaking/babbling/prophecying they take a collection to help cover his travel expenses.
As a practice there is obviously nothing wrong with that but it would be up to the ministry to make sure they report to their tax authorities in their countries as they should.
As a general description - Crowderites are NOT wealthy and are largely younger types and many out of drug or party lifestyles (so nothing changed) but not 'street people' poor either.
It is possible they have some benevolent wealthy sponsors but I don't see any lavish wealth quite yet.
