A Ministry of Release

Turn idol wealth — and idle wealth — into Kingdom work.

Gold, silver, jewelry, and coins tied to other religions, the occult, or broken covenants don't belong in a believer's home. Mail them to us. We melt them down or sell them, and the proceeds fund Christian missions.

“The silver is mine and the gold is mine, declares the LORD Almighty.”

Haggai 2:8

Simple & Secure

Release it in three steps

No awkward pawn-shop visits. No wondering what to do with it. A clear, prayerful process from your mailbox to the mission field.

1

Mail it to us

Ship your items via insured USPS Registered Mail to our secure address. We confirm receipt with photos the day it arrives.

2

We assess & convert

You receive a written good-faith valuation by email. Every item is prayed over — all curses, dedications, and soul ties broken in Jesus' name. Idols and occult items are always melted down; coins and jewelry are sold as-is for a larger gift, unless you ask us to destroy them.

3

Missions are funded

Proceeds, less our disclosed 20% overhead fee, go to the 501(c)(3) ministry you designate on the release form. You receive confirmation of the gift.

What people send us

If it's made of precious metal and you believe it carries spiritual baggage, it qualifies. These are the most common categories.

Golden Buddha statue in a wooden shrine

Idols & items from other religions

Statues, figurines, and devotional objects from any faith outside of Christ — often brought home as souvenirs or received as gifts.

ExamplesGold or silver Buddha statues, Hindu deity figurines, shrine and temple items, prayer objects
Golden zodiac rooster figurine on a red silk stand

Zodiac & feng shui gold

Items created for luck, fortune, or astrological blessing — beautiful craftsmanship, but rooted in divination and fortune-seeking.

ExamplesGolden zodiac animals (roosters, dragons, pigs), feng shui coins and charms, "lucky" ingots and figurines
Antique silver charms and talismans

Occult & new-age items

Anything made or worn for spiritual power apart from God — protection, divination, energy, or contact with the spirit realm.

ExamplesAmulets and talismans, evil-eye and hamsa jewelry, crystals set in gold or silver, tarot or astrology pendants
Pair of gold wedding rings beside rose buds Gold watch on a chain Silver bracelet with a green gemstone

Jewelry from broken covenants

Rings, watches, and jewelry from former spouses or past relationships that carry painful or unholy soul ties you're ready to sever.

ExamplesWedding and engagement rings from a prior marriage, watches and anniversary gifts, jewelry from an ungodly relationship
Antique engraved gold signet ring

Secret society & lodge items

Regalia and jewelry tied to oaths made outside the lordship of Christ — a frequent focus in deliverance ministry.

ExamplesMasonic rings and pins, Eastern Star and Shriner jewelry, fraternal lodge medals and ceremonial items
Pile of old American gold coins

Inherited items of unknown origin

Heirlooms and coins whose spiritual history you can't verify — and whose presence in your home you no longer have peace about.

ExamplesOld U.S. gold coins, silver dollars and half dollars, unsettling estate jewelry, items with unknown dedications

“Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.”

1 John 5:21

“Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed what they had done. A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.”

Acts 19:18–19
The Hard Question

“Shouldn't these things just be destroyed?”

It's the right question — and we take it seriously. The believers in Ephesus burned their occult scrolls; they didn't resell them. So why do we melt and convert?

Because melting destroys the idolatrous form completely. What remains isn't an idol — it's raw gold and silver, the same material Israel carried out of Egypt and later offered for the building of the tabernacle. The form is destroyed; the material is consecrated to the work of the Gospel.

And if you prayerfully conclude your item should simply be destroyed rather than converted? We bless that choice completely.

“He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness.”

Malachi 3:3

Our commitment to transparency

Idol Wealth is currently a private initiative, not yet a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Formal nonprofit status is planned. Until then, contributions are not tax-deductible. Our overhead fee is 20% of net proceeds — everything else goes to the Christian charity or mission you select, and you receive written confirmation of the gift amount and recipient.
