Cashing In On Church: A WOW MOMENT OR NOT

Joseph Prince…….

This Singapore native is a Senior Pastor at one of Asia’s biggest churches, the New Creation Church. The son of a Sikh priest, he has been associated with the church his entire life and has traveled extensively from Australia and Canada to Italy, Indonesia and the Netherlands. Prince helped establish the nondenominational New Creation Church in 1984. Membership quickly swelled from 25 people to a mind-boggling 31,000. He has a television program and has also authored books, CDs and DVDs. The church takes in an annual income of $44.7 million and Prince’s religious program Destined to Reign, is broadcast in over 150 countries, according to wikipedia.

Prince reportedly earns $550,000 per year in salary. In Singapore, every charity and non-profit organization are required to report the salaries of their chief executives. The church did not confirm Prince’s identity when it revealed that one of its employees is paid $550,000, but it did issue a statement acknowledging that their mission is to “recognize and reward key contributors to the church and Senior Pastor Prince is the main pillar of our church’s growth and revenue.” He is reportedly the 10th richest pastor in the world. Prince is married and has two children.
