Ministry Opportunities:
Praise Broadcasting Network's Mission is to provide hope and encouragement to
Christians around the world and to help them develop a more intimate relationship
with our Lord. We do this in part by playing "the most beautiful and
intimate praise and worship music this side of heaven" and broadcasting
"Praise Until Dawn" live every weekday.
There are many ways you can help PBN accomplish this calling of God. We
have a number of monthly bills, as well as an assortment of one-time needs
that you can sponsor in whole or in part. These are listed below and will
be added to and changed as time goes by.
You can help the Mission of PBN by going to

The Systems Programmer PBN uses for much of its software development, has given us a TREMENDOUS
discount because of his belief in the Mission of PBN. He has charged us only $30 per hour plus some
extra for little incidentals, when he could have charged upwards of $100 per hour. Software development
is a very expensive and time intensive process. He has patiently waited. It is time to get Don paid.
