Hey Everyone,
For those of you in the upper mid-west, Winter is literally “Holding on…”. Spring is loooonnnngggg overdue. “Holding on…” can mean so many different things to each one of us, yet somehow the same. Positive, negative, or somewhere in between, “Holding on…” can mean just about anything. Titles like this not only make us reflect and ponder, they draw us in with anticipation and thus the next paragraph, or at least I hope so! My PRAYER is (drawing from one of our slogans a few years back) that;
“Holding on…” for PBM has been all we could do throughout the last few months, let me show you, thru the bullet points below, but promise me you’ll keep “holding on…” until the end of this email…Please!
- 30 Homes Built/Dedicated in the refugee village of Los Lotes
- We lived in Los Lotes while building there.
- Church, bathhouse & kitchen facility built to house the teams.
- By far the most difficult “road” we have ever built at the end of.
- Our vans are decimated…(I’m not kidding!!!)
- Spiritual Warfare beyond what we’ve experienced in years.
- VICTORY in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord!
- We lived in Los Lotes while building there.

- BRING THE CHANGE campaign underway right now thru May 4th!
NEARLY 3,000 SOULS COMING TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR PERSONAL SAVIOR AND LORD!
“Holding on…”, as our Lord has and is working in absolutely Amazing ways…but also barely “holding on…” Most of you have experienced both; “holding on”, in a great and amazing journey, and the more difficult of; “just barely holding on” as if life depended on it. Pouring ourselves out, not just as a few bullet points and pictures, but with the “urgency of the Gospel of Jesus Christ”… Living out HIS heart in the midst of the enemy camp these last few months has taken its toll. A heavy toll; physically, emotionally, and spiritually! VICTORY in Jesus Name? AMEN! But battle-scarred we are on every front. Wait… Our Lord bore scars of a much deeper nature still as HE bore our sins upon the cross (our cross, our sins)… THANK YOU, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…our example!Would you take a few moments to PRAY for us? Really earnestly PRAY for us today [right now] and throughout this weekend? We’ve constantly quoted; “…PRAYER is the greater work.”, and you’ve experienced it through PBM and our Lord! My friends, we NEED your PRAYERS and thus; HIS GREATER WORK within our lives and this, HIS ministry right now…
Dan & Team Paradise Bound
