Our Founders' Story

More Coming Soon...

What started as a calling of our Lord Jesus Christ in the hearts of Dan and Heidi Smith and only $200/month pledged in support to date has touched over 100,000 lives. From that small seed Paradise Bound's vision has been embraced by nearly 3,000 team members serving alongside each other on short-term mission trips.

Stay tuned for more!
