One of the most influential men in Great Britain is Lord Beaverbrook, who owns the London Daily Express & a number of other daily papers. He is the son of a preacher.
He made a fortune in Canada & then went to England,
where he has forged ahead & made money & a name for himself. Some years
ago he was elevated to the peerage.
Recently, he wrote, "The evangelist is the man who has
the greatest opportunity for doing good & if I were in a position to
influence the life of a sincere young man today, I would say to him, 'Rather
choose to be an evangelist than a cabinet minister or a millionaire.'
When I was a young man I pitied my father for being a poor
man & a humble preacher of the Word. Now that I am old, I envy him, his
life & career."

2 Tim 4:5 (CSB): “But as for you, exercise self-control in
everything, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your
ministry.”
“We should always look upon ourselves as God's servants,
placed in God's world, to do His work; and accordingly labor faithfully for
Him; not with a design to grow rich and great, but to glorify God, and do all
the good we possibly can.” - David
Brainerd.
“You had better be a poor man and a rich Christian, than a
rich man and a poor Christian.” - Thomas Brooks.
