This indicting quote is from Raymond F. Culpepper, General Overseer of The Church of God, Cleveland Tennessee. He posted a brief article addressing the state of the Church back in March '09.
I underlined the specific point for special empahsis.

"Every year, David B. Barrett of the World Evangelization Research Center in Richmond, Virginia, and Todd M. Johnson of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary publish an update on the status of world Christianity and major religious trends....Overall there is a small but steady growth in giving.... to Christian causes.
Tragically, one finding is that more money is being stolen by 'professional ministers' than given to global missions."
