Some have stepped out from under the crazy-con-ideology that some of the UPC has and been able to reach better, further and been more affective.

But keep in mind that the bible says, Deuteronomy 8:18
But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

Remember that wealth is not always money, but sometimes it is.

Yes, but let's also remember that wealth was to establish HIS covenant, not our personal kingdoms.
