Special Ways to Help

Our 50/50 Club has been founded to build a network of 50 families and individuals each giving $50/month to specifically support our Discipleship programs—and thus we hope—church planting. (Donors can also give half shares at $25/month.) If this is something you feel led to do, please visit our Donate page to make your monthly pledge.

Another great way to build for eternity is to contribute directly to sponsorship of children at Open Doors orphanage. See the Child Sponsorship page for details.

Tools and Equipment

Paradise Bound is always in need of tools, equipment, and other construction needs. Currently these include, but are not limited to:

• DeWalt 18V XRP cordless drills
• DeWalt 18V XRP batteries
• Complete bolt, nut, flat and lock washer kits (SAE 1/4 inch and up; metric sizes with various lengths)
• 1 10-12,00 lb vehicle hoist
• 3 1,500 watt DC inverters for mounting in our vans
• 3 12V portable air compressors for vehicles
• Electric impact wrench
• Heavy-duty 12V winch to mount on our 4x4 vans
• Straps and pulleys for winching

Vehicles

A 2001 Ford E350 Super Duty truck with 7.3L diesel engine was purchased on faith in April 2011 as the need was great for our Mission Teams and our Mobile Medical Clinic/Outreaches. A portion ($6,000) of the purchase price was covered by a 2010 year end donation specifically for another 4x4 van. However, we need additional funds to cover the remaining purchase price, transport the van to Guatemala, and pay the import taxes. Total funds still to raise as of Apr 30, 2011: $11,000.

PBM also needs a midsize or small 4x4 pickup with preferably 4 doors and seating for 5 persons. The vehicle must have an automatic transmission as Estuardo (who is paralyzed) will be the primary driver of this pickup. A turbo diesel engine is preferred, but we will certainly accept a gas engine. This pickup will be utilized for day to day operations, discipleship programs, and village investigations for our mobile medical clinic outreaches. The donated vehicle can be damaged or even a salvaged title.

To help with our vehicle needs, please email PBM founder Dan Smith directly at dan@paradisebound.org with any leads or details.
