Am I A Filthy Rich Evangelist?

      I’ve got a tiny problem.

       I’m a successful entrepreneur. 

       But because I’m also a missionary and spiritual leader, some people think I’m using the tithes of my members to enrich myself.

       Ouch.

       Hey, I can’t blame them for asking this question.

Rich Evangelists have been in the news lately. 

One very famous Evangelist drives a Rolls Royce and has his own huge private jet. Other Televangelists have their own helicopters, yachts, and mansions.

Where does their wealth come from? 

From the tithes of their members?

People are aghast.

       So am I one of them?

5 Things About Me

For the sake of those who are sincerely asking this question, I’d like to share my answers. (For those who simply want to criticize, no answers will satisfy them.)

1. I don’t own a plane, a mansion, or a Rolls.

      

       I live in a simple house and use a simple car.

       My wife and I like it this way.

       Despite the fact that I can now afford a bigger house and a better car, I’d rather use my financial blessings for God’s work.

       Again, I’m not against a big house or a better car. One day, my car will be old enough to retire and I’ll upgrade it. 

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying God’s blessings.

But I’m certain you’ll never see me driving a Rolls!

2. I don’t get a salary from Light of Jesus.

Again, let me emphasize: There’s nothing wrong with getting a salary from one’s “church”. Receiving a salary from one’s “church” is in the Bible. (Note: We’re not a church. We’re a lay organization within the Catholic Church.) In fact, all our fulltime leaders in Light of Jesus do get allowances and salaries—as they should—for all the fantastic work they do.

But as Founder and over-all Leader of Light of Jesus, I’ve long decided not to receive a salary from the tithes of our members. I felt my position was very sensitive and unique—and thus, my decision.

I thank God that my private businesses have been more than enough to support me and my family—and more than enough to give to God’s ministry.

3. All author's royalties from my books

 are donated back into my ministry.

       So far, I’ve written 18 bestselling books.

       My royalties are quite sizable—and I’m happy to donate it back to our ministries.

       This has given me the opportunity to fund various projects for the ministry. It’s one of my great joys in life to do this.

4. All my speaker’s fees

are also donated back into my ministry.

       I’m one of the highest paid corporate speakers in the country today. (You’ll cringe if I tell you how much companies pay me to speak to their employees.) 

Because of my heavy ministry involvement however, I have very little time to speak to companies. But whenever I do accept invitations, I donate my fees to the ministry.

5. To support myself,

I earn from my personal businesses.

I have 12 income streams. I earn via real estate, stock market, a tiny school, financial consultancy, internet marketing, and a few other businesses.  I’ve invested in a corporate souvenir company that supplies 100+ companies. I’ve invested in a restaurant too. I’m part owner of prenatal ultrasound clinics. Etcetera.

And from my earnings, I still donate a big portion into our ministry each year with great joy.
       My businesses and investments have been blessed.

God is prospering me.

And this is my prayer for you too!

I want you to be financially blessed too.

I have a burden for spiritual people to prosper. To prosper, not only for yourself, but so that you can share your wealth to others.

There’s nothing wrong with money.

If you have a good heart, money will be good.

If you have a bad heart, money will be bad.

Starting tomorrow, my mentors and I will be giving my Financial Coaching Program. We’ll be sharing to the lucky participants the exciting ways of growing their income, such as investing in the Stock Market, Mutual Funds, Real Estate, and Business. (I’m not sure if there are some seats left, but if you want to catch up, click here for details.)

Next week, my internet marketing guru Jomar Hilario will be giving his 2-day internet marketing workshop. Almost all my businesses use internet marketing. Because of internet marketing, my businesses have grown by leaps and bounds. To know more about that workshop, click here.

May your dreams come true,
