PARADISE BOUND MINISTRIES

The essence of Paradise Bound is to continue the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ. Accomplishing this through His primary example of ministering to physical needs first—thus earning love, respect, and the opportunity to present His word. Ultimately, we strive in everything we do to radiate the name, the essence and the gospel of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Our goal is to do ‘whatever it takes' to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost and dying in Guatemala. We strive to weave the gospel of Jesus Christ through and through every Paradise Bound program: physically through building relationships by meeting needs, verbally through spoken word, spiritually through much prayer and discernment and everlastingly through distribution of our Lord's Living Word! Recognizing our dual calling of 100% to the Guatemalan people and 100% to the team members and supporters serving alongside us, we exalt the name of Jesus Christ and challenge our constituents into a deep personal relationship with Him. Being dedicated to and existing for the glory of God Almighty, our vision is to see the children of PBM's Open Doors Orphanage obedient to the calling of Jesus Christ in their lives, in order to fulfill what He has called each one of us and them to: a personal relationship with Him and to “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” We will accomplish this vision by 1) raising the children of Open Doors with emphasis on a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior, fostered by a Christian upbringing centered in God's word; and 2) protecting, nurturing and restoring children and families in need through Jesus Christ. Thus Open Doors will develop the potential of each individual child to become the hands, feet and heart of our Lord wherever He may lead them.
