The Cards At the heart of paid4u.com are the simple and inexpensive business cards. These cards are designed to not inform, but rather pique the curiosity of the recipient. The card only contains the text “paid4u.com” in the consistent “Trebuchet MS” font on a contemporary solid green background color and nothing on the back. Participants are then encouraged to find a way to pay the debt anonymously for another person. This might typically be in a drive-through line at a fast food restaurant where the participant would pay for the order of the car behind them and give a paid4u.com card to the clerk to deliver with the meal to the recipient. With their meal paid for anonymously, the recipient will be compelled to find out why and with just the paid4u.com business card as a clue, they will no doubt look up that address on the internet.

For example, small groups or bible studies could pool their money to have more resource to pay bigger debts for people.

Rather than use this concept to benefit a single church, by keeping it generic, we can invite the participation of not only all other churches in a city, but the state, nation, and the rest of the world as well. There is nothing limiting about this concept. It simply parallels scriptural teaching and is available for all. The fact that the unique domain name is registered as “paid4u.com”, makes it a central location to clearly and effectively communicate and execute the concept. The Benefits There are many personal and spiritual benefits to be gained by this simple concept, but the most important and obvious ones are as follows; To the Individual – Each individual participant will realize the incredible blessing it is to give anonymously to others. There are few actions that one can take that exemplify Christianity more than giving anonymously and once that is realized, it is a feeling that touches the heart and changes lives. To the Local Church - The benefit of paid4u.com is realized by each local church as their own members become active in their faith. This will have a ripple effect throughout their entire congregation as more and more members realize the blessing of giving. To the Body of Christ – The body of Christ benefits as more and more believers realize the blessing of giving which strengthens and encourages the local church which in turn strengthens and encourages the entire body of Christ and perpetuates the concept of giving to others. Monetary Benefits, Recognition and Control It is imperative that paid4u.com in no way causes any monetary benefit or recognition to neither any individual person nor any individual church. At all times and in all ways, glory and honor should be given to God and God alone. Doing so will no doubt change the very nature of the concept and would ultimately lead to its demise. God will honor paid4u.com as long as its motives are pure.
