I was going through religious news quite dissapointed about televangelist and pastors who seem to be making a tremendous amount of money and living a lavish lifestyle. I was wondering if there was a televangelist out there who lived his life modestly despite them money and the fame. And finally I came across one man who should be the prime example of televangelists everywhere. Joel Osteen, one of the world's most reknown televangelist is a rare breed of televangelsits. He lives very modestly for 13 years in a one story house, has no private jet, and has been drivicing the same car for nine years that he received from his father. Osteen hasnt asked for salary from his church for two years and never asks for money when he evangelizes on TV. He says that he makes enough money from his books and likes to live a normal life. He doesnt comment on other minister but chooses to believe tht best out of them. Now here is a man that i can truly respect. He is expected to make about over $80 million dollars but lives a very humble life. He puts other televangelists who live an extreme lavish life to shame. He should have all of the other televangelist gather and show them how a real minister should live. He does not exploit money and seems to be content in life with what he has. Joel Osteen has given me hope for televangelists, that one day, they will no longer be corrupt with greed and money...but for now he is one of the very few.
