Why Idol Wealth exists

The founder's story

I'm a follower of Christ — a spirit-filled believer — and this ministry started with a single golden zodiac rooster sitting on a shelf in my own home. The more I learned about spiritual housecleaning, the clearer the question became: this can't stay — but what do I actually do with it? Pawning it felt wrong. Throwing solid gold in a landfill felt wasteful. And nothing existed for believers facing the same tension. So Idol Wealth was built: a way to destroy what should be destroyed, redeem what can be redeemed, and send the value to the mission field.

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven… For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Matthew 6:19–21

What we believe

We are spirit-filled believers who hold that the Bible is the inspired Word of God; that salvation is by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ alone; that believers are called to holiness in every area of life — including what we own; and that deliverance and freedom are part of the Gospel's work in a believer's life today. If you're new to deliverance ministry and spiritual housecleaning, we've been blessed by the teaching of evangelists like Isaiah Saldivar and TJ Malcangi — a good place to start.

Where this is headed

Idol Wealth launched as a private initiative so we could start serving people immediately, but the destination is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit with public financial reporting. Until that status is granted, we say plainly on every page: contributions are not yet tax-deductible, and our overhead fee is a disclosed 20% of net proceeds. When nonprofit status is granted, we'll announce it here.

“Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD?… The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god.”

Psalm 24:3–4
