A true ministry does not require money. Between them, Peter and John did not have a coin.

Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

Instead of coveting more money than God has provided, or using poverty as an excuse for doing nothing in the kingdom of heaven, we should use the talent that we have already received for His glory. See Mat 25:14-30.
