About Us
What We Do
Paradise Bound Ministries began working in Guatemala in 1997, and we are privileged to serve alongside local Guatemalan people who are passionate about reaching Guatemala for Christ. Together, we’ve developed several village outreach opportunities that all point people to Jesus!
Our Mission Statement
The mission of Paradise Bound is to continue the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ. We accomplish this through His primary example of ministering to physical needs first, building authentic relationships that earn the trust and respect of those we serve, and, ultimately, the opportunity to present the Gospel.
