1 Hello, my name is G s Us, and I am back, visible, and ready to give you the opportunity of a lifetime! If you have ever had any desire to be your own boss, Christian franchising is the true salution i for you! It is easy to start and is virtually free ii. When selecting a religious franchise, you must consider many factors, such as the demand for the products or services, competition, the franchisor's background, and the level of support you will receive. With our proven track record of success (38,000 different denominations and over 7 billion locations) I am confident that we have a franchise that will meet your needs. In fact, if you don t, we ll help you create your own Christian sect as our guarantee! Hot franchises Catholic Church Protestantism

2 Franchise of the Week Seventh-day Adventism Benefits World atrocities, tragedies, and fear mongering have aided Christian franchise businesses for centuries and many of the most widely-loved iconic products, like the G s Us fish bumper sticker or cross based costume jewelry, owe their success in part to our franchising model. In fact, our franchises are often so successful that people will literally hand you money on a platter! Testimonials Just check out what some of our franchisees have to say about Christian franchising: I opened a Croatian Greek Catholic Church in the D.C. area Christian franchising just had that IT factor I was looking for. - Bishop Nikola Kekić, Eparchy of Križevci I ve been a Christian for four and a half years. I had previously been into Hinduism and have really enjoyed the flexibility, creativity and freedom of owning my own Christian franchise. I love the support and relationships I have with other Christians and the home office Vatican team - it s a strong family atmosphere that we all benefit from. I highly recommend joining because it s a great company and it s definitely changed my life. It is, after all, how I met my husband! And I think it will change others' lives as well. - Rev. Thomas Dowd, The Blogging Bishop "I love semantics. I LOVE kids. I love to preach! - Pope Benedict XVI, Catholic Church When the real estate market started to top out, I started looking for an alternative investment. Boy was I lucky! I searched the card catalogue of my local library for viable businesses to purchase. I came across Christian franchising and was immediately intrigued by what G s Us had to offer. - Malinda Cramer, Church of Divine Science

3 "Christian franchises are great! They give you a great boost when you need it and I love the healthy benefits." - Benjamin Hardin Irwin, Fire Baptized Holiness Church of God of the Americas I had already invested in a Christian business. I thought I had a nice little business going, until I talked with G s Us and realized that we had only scratched the surface. - Martin Luther, Protestant Reformation The level of service from corporate is top notch, and that s extremely important. - Rev. Thomas Jones, Presbyterian Church of India Purchasing a franchise greatly reduces the mistakes associated with deciding how to think independently! - King George V, Anglican Church You can buy a Christian franchise right now, just like I bought mine for pennies on the dollar. I didn t think I d ever see an opportunity where I could purchase a Christian franchise for pennies on the dollar! - Kari Mäkinen, Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland As I would sit as a parent in the Sunday School room, I kept thinking this looks like a great business for me. - Captain Allan Arthur Banks, Sr., National Baptist Evangelical Life and Soul Saving Assembly of the United States of America (NBELSSA) Going above and beyond for our customers is what it s all about. G s Us is in the salvation business, but we re essentially in the prophet iii business and at the end of the day it all comes back to making a prophet. - Moishe Rosen, Jews for Jesus One of the best parts of my job is watching children develop. - J. I. Wedgwood, Liberal Catholic Church We have always known that G s Us was not something trendy, but rather was an idea whose time had come. When we discovered the FRESH concept, it seemed like the perfect way to combine our belief in the benefits of financial profit with mass control. - Simon Peter, Catholic Church Our overhead was low and we didn t need to take out a loan to get this started all the required material was there. - Noel Stanton, Jesus Army Christianity is an easy sell in Mexico we are probably getting an 85% YES rate from the peasants! - James Hickey, Convención Nacional Bautista de México

4 The billion dollar difference between Christianity and every other religion is the education program, which I believe is the best religious education system available in the world. - Margaret Fell, Religious Society of Friends The future looks great for us. We couldn t be happier with the decision we made to move forward with the LDS Church and the brand as a whole. We are looking at opening more sects in the future. Right now is the chance to get in. - Thomas S. Monson via a revelation from Joseph Smith, Jr., The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints As the owner of a Christian franchise outside of the brand s core market, I have been extremely pleased with the support I have received. Since opening day I have been fully equipped to provide a top-notch product with excellent customer service and my profits have reflected this. - Bishop K. H. Ting, China Christian Council The JW community has used a combination of national advertising combined with a mass distributorship program to allow for its exponentially increasing market share. - Don A. Adams, Jehovah's Witnesses Don t let tonight be your last supper! Franchise today! (Some academics may try to convince you that this is not a true dissertation. Let your faith in G s Us assure you that this is The One True Dissertation.) i The word salution was used Constantine I in his 313 Edict of Milan advertising via the slogan Christianity is the Salution! This was a play on words combining solution with salvation to create salution. ii In order to qualify for a G s Us franchise, you have to have $250,000 (not borrowed). Your total costs to open the franchise, however, will be anywhere from $685,750 to $1,504,000, which goes to paying for the building, equipment, etc. This may be easily recovered from your fellowship. You'll pay an initial franchise fee of $45,000 directly to G s Us. The other costs go to bible suppliers, so this is the only upfront fee you pay to G s Us. Then, you'll go through a rigorous two-hour training period where you'll learn about the G s Us and the bible way of doing things -- things like Christian standards for quality, service, banking, formulas, Christian methods of operation, and thought control techniques. You'll have to agree to operate your church from a single location, usually for eternity, loosely following

5 Christian guidelines for decor, signage, layout and everything else that makes Christianity Christian. Once you've completed training and are ready to go, G s Us will offer you a revelation developed for your personal needs. The exterior of the revelation will be complete, but you will have to create your own interior secrecies. You'll pay G s Us a monthly fee of public lunacy, and one annual perceived miracle. How much money you make depends on many things, including the location and its popularity, the efficiency of your operating costs, and your ability to manage and control people. Think of Christian franchising as paying someone for his or her ethos strategy, marketing strategy, operations strategy, and the use of G s Us s name. That's pretty much what Christian franchising is -- you are establishing a relationship with a successful business so you can use its systems and capitalize on its existing brand awareness in order to get a quicker return on your own investment. You are using its proven system and name, and running it by whatever rules you invent. iii Prophet is the ancient Middle Eastern spelling for the contemporary North American word profit.
