About

BeatingDebt.org is a non-profit, tax exempt organization.

Background

The mission of BeatingDebt.org is to bring users together to share, track, and beat their debt using proven Biblical principles in order to affect change in all other aspects of their life. Debt makes us slaves.  It is this organization’s mission to help you reduce that debt by utilizing the power of the internet in order for you to focus on more important things like God, family, and friends.

MISSION VERSE:

Hebrews 12:1–

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

Our core ideas of:

–     Fellowship.

–     Community.

–     Turning from sin of selfishness in our budget.

–     Commitment to releasing the burdens of debt.

–     And running to beat debt.

are all introduced in the above verse.

I’m so glad I came across your blog. I think debt is an American Epidemic that has led to a lot of our country’s problems and the financial crisis going on right now. Keep up the good work!
