Dan Baumann: Imprisoned for Christ
"God’s love is a beautiful thing. But what are the lengths we would go to to spread God’s love? Is there a place we won’t go or a person we won’t talk to? Even if it’s the darkest place or the hardest person?" Dan Baumann
After nine weeks of imprisonment in Iran, Dan was released by Iran's High Court. He joined the Youth With a Mission, or YWAM organization and leads mission trips all around the world teaching others to simply walk with Jesus.
