Current responsibilities: Dan joined GMF in 1993 and in 1996 was asked to open its first regional office in San Diego, CA. The West Coast office has grown to over 40 staff. Dan serves as GMF's 10/40 Window Director and has led church planting teams to Albania, Mexico, Venezuela, Cameroon, Brazil, Egypt, Israel, Slovenia, Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, India, Myanmar, and the Caribbean. Dan's passion is taking the gospel to people who have never heard the Name of Jesus.
Ministry news: One of the projects Dan has been involved in over the past two years is church planting and evangelism in Yangoon, Myanmar (Burma). In recent months the Myanmar government, which is largely Buddhist, has cracked down on Christian activities and closed some churches. Myanmar nationals working with the church-planting teams have become fearful. Dan and a team from the U.S.A. went to Myanmar in November of 2001 and reported that three churches planted the year before were growing and doing well. They conducted in-home evangelistic meetings and held a five-day leadership training seminar.
Current prayer request: For wisdom and health, for Dan to continue to establish proper family priorities, and for a continued personal, intimate relationship with God.

Field Location: Formerly, University of Kona HI. After September 2010, Harrisburg PA
Ministry: These 4 years in Kona, HI with YWAM has been AWESOME as we’ve been radically exposed to what God is doing on the EARTH. And we are AMAZED and EXCITED to be part of it!
Sept 15,2010 will be the start of the NEW Fire and Fragrance school in Harrisburg, PA! And WE will help pioneer and lead it! This new YWAM school in Harrisburg, PA will expose and train students for missions and then send them on outreach to the ripe harvest fields in America (and possibly Europe), especially the universities on the East Coast. The school has two primary focuses: Revival in America AND calling the Northeastern states to the nations of the world for GLOBAL revival!
We will use our experience and gifts to logistically and relationally pioneer this new school as we will be partnering with local churches and Christian organizations. Then we will INVEST ourselves into the students during the 6 months of lecture and hopefully take a group of students on outreach for the final 3 months of the school.
How to reach them: U of N, 75-5851 Kuakini Hwy #118, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 or donandang@gmail.com. You may also visit their website at http://amstutzadventures.blogspot.com. give online at www.ywamconnect.com/sites/amstutzfamily, or find us on facebook!
