History
Bride Ministries International was founded by Daniel Duval in 2012. The ministry began as a podcast outreach, paired with weekly newsletters. At this time Daniel had already published his first book and was working on the second. In 2013, Daniel went on his first International Ministry Trip, and continued with the podcast and weekly emails as the ministry following grew. In 2014, Daniel spent most of the year working for another ministry, and as such, all operations at Bride Ministries ceased. Then, at the outset of 2015, Bride Ministries was relaunched now featuring a podcast, online discipleship courses, and an intentional effort to serve survivors of ritual abuse and extreme trauma backgrounds with the healing power of Jesus Christ.
From 2015 to 2016 the ministry outreach grew significantly. There were several ministers that linked arms with Bride Ministries as coaches in order to serve the number of survivors that were turning to us for help. The podcast, which began to focus more and more on government sponsored mind control, the reality of satanic ritual abuse, and related content, drove much of this demand. Many ministry tools were developed to deal with difficult deliverance needs, which ultimately became the first Prayers that Shake Heaven and Earth Book.
Due to the growth of online Bible Study groups and the increasing demand for community, the first e-church outreach was launched under the name “The Fireplace Church”, in 2016. These videos can still be found in the Bride Ministries archives on YouTube. This version of the e-church was filmed with a greenscreen, professionally produced, and then streamed, being followed by live breakout groups led by trained moderators. While this first attempt at e-church ultimately failed, it gave way to the Bride Ministries Church. The e-church went from a production to a live webinar meeting, before finally becoming a physical church that was established in Katy, TX in 2021.
In efforts to solve the incredibly complex problems that were being presented in ministry sessions, Daniel continued to innovate in the areas of prayer resources and ministerial approaches. In 2018, recording began on the Bride Ministries Institute, ultimately yielding 10 courses and over 90 hours of learning. In 2019 work began on the DID Coach Mentorship Training Program, which was a year-long discipleship with Daniel Duval designed to train people to be coaches and serve the needs of survivors of SRA and extreme trauma backgrounds through prayer ministry.
In 2020, Bride Ministries launched this program, and the first class successfully completed a year of training, demonstrating the ability to provide strategic assistance to survivors at the conclusion of their training, making it a success. At the conclusion of the program, they were released as trained and selected coaches. It was at this point that Bride Ministries switched gears and focused on promoting our own trained ministers exclusively. The DID Coach Training program continued to run annually, and by recognizing ways to improve our training strategy, this program was expanded from one year to three years and now exists as The School of Inner Healing and Deliverance.
To provide increasing needs for customer service, support for our coach community, accountability, oversight, and the long-term sustainability of the work, Bride Ministries launched a church-owned company at the outset of 2024 called Bride Ministries Coaching. With this change, the church took an additional step to ministerially license the coaches that transitioned into this company. We established a Pastor for the coaches. We upgraded our infrastructure, and added a position to provide client services, and help new clients connect with the appropriate coach for their needs.
In 2021, Bride Ministries also launched the world’s first of its kind Deliverance Portal, which allows people to take a self-guided journey through deliverance resources created by Daniel Duval which is absolutely free. We have also made a vast majority of the deliverance resources available for free on both the ministry website as well as the ministry app. Bride Ministries has become known around the world for the effectiveness of our prayer resources.
In 2022, Bride Ministries acquired a 10-acre tract of land in Katy, TX which currently serves as the ministry campus and the location of the Bride Ministries Church. The local church outreach continues to grow, along with our internet community. Bride Ministries calls itself Bride Tribe because of the uniqueness of our community and the niche that we serve. Many who come to Bride Ministries find their Tribe here, and an extraordinary sense of excitement and belonging! We continue to serve the body of Christ as a pioneering ministry, and rejoice in the countless testimonies that continue to pour in from all that the Lord has done through us!

What We Believe
About God: We believe in one God, revealed as Father, Son and Holy Ghost. (Deut. 6:4; II Corinthians 13:14; John 1:1) We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ is the only begotten of the Father and is truly God and truly man. He was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died a vicarious and atoning death for the sins of the world, was resurrected bodily for our justification, and now reigns in Glory until all things be put under His feet (I Tim. 3:16).
About Scripture: We believe in the absolute inspiration of the Holy Scriptures in their original autographs, given by the Holy Ghost without error as He moved upon holy men of old. Furthermore, we believe that the church has no authority to establish doctrine or practices contrary to these same scriptures, which were subsequently accepted as Canon by the early Christian Church. (I Tim. 3:16)
About Man: We believe that man was made in the image of God and is the crown of creation. He is now by reason of the fall spiritually alienated from his Creator. Apart from God he has no ability to attain to this high calling. (Psalm 8; Ephesians 2:8-9) We believe that justification is by grace through faith in our Lord’s sacrifice on Calvary. (Romans 3:21-24) We believe that all people are to repent and be buried with our Lord Jesus Christ in the water of Baptism. (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:4; II Peter 3:9) We believe in sanctification through the Holy Ghost. It is our understanding that the supernatural gifts of the Holy Ghost are active within the body of Christ until the coming of the Lord. Furthermore, we believe that the development of these gifts ought to be encouraged under the guidance of local church authority. (Acts 8: 14-17; Acts 19:1-2; I Cor. 12:4-7) We believe that those who are called by the name of Christ should depart from iniquity, understanding that salvation from the penalty of sin only begins the process of redemption. We acknowledge that one work of the Holy Ghost is to create in us the character of Christ. (II Tim. 2:19)
About Church: We believe in the Priesthood of the believer; that is to say, all people born of God have equal status before God and direct access to their Lord. (1 Pet. 2:5) We believe in the identity of the body of Christ on the earth is primarily perceived through the local church. While encouraging the voluntary association of local churches and recognizing the need of consensus on matters of fundamental doctrine and conduct, we strongly confess the local church to be sovereign and autonomous. (Rev. 2, 3) We believe that the callings of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher are functional within the body of Christ until the Lord’s return. Furthermore, these ministries are gifts to the church for the purpose of equipping the saints for the work of the ministry, that the body of Christ may be edified. (Ephesians 4: 11-16).
About Sin: Man is born with a sin nature due to Adam’s sin. (Ps. 51; Rom. 5:12-14, 18-19) He then practices sin. Adam’s spirit was separated from God when he sinned. This is death. The new birth is the only thing that can change this (John 3: 1-8; Eph 2:1-6) Man must be reconciled to God because sin separates man from God.
About Salvation: Salvation realigns us back to the original plan of God. To be saved from sin, one must first acknowledge their sinful standing before God. Their heart must be prepared to receive God. By the law is the knowledge of sin. This creates conviction in a person’s heart. It reminds us that God’s standard is high above us and we have come short of his glory (Rom. 3:20; Rom.7:7)
Salvation is by Jesus Christ alone and in Jesus Christ alone (Acts 4:12). We are saved by believing in our hearts that Jesus is Messiah and by confessing Him as Lord and King with our mouths (Romans 10:9-10).
About Water Baptism: Right standing before God is necessary prior to baptism. Baptism is for believers (He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be damned (Mk. 16:16; Acts 8:36-37; Acts16:30-33) Obedience releases/activates faith. Faith is demonstrated through baptism (Mk 16:16). No unbelievers should be baptized.
When a person trusts the cross, they are ready to come out of “Egypt” (a type of the world.) The Red Sea separated God’s people from Egypt. They were “delivered” through the Red Sea (a type of water baptism.) Without faith, nothing happens in baptism; with faith, the believer rises to walk in newness of life.
Baptism aligns us with the headship of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 19:1-5)
Baptism is a circumcision of the heart. (Col 2:9-13) Abraham was justified before circumcision. Circumcision deals with verification, validation and authenticity of the faith that was already there. Baptism is a seal of the righteousness of my faith. It also cuts the enmity of the old nature of sin. It cuts away something from the heart. It deals with deliverance (Rom 6:1-14)
Baptism identifies us with Christ in his death. What the believer has just been delivered from (the old man) is buried, crucified, put away. “His” life is over. The believer should no longer serve sin but seek God’s plans, purposes, etc. When a believer is baptized, it is a death to themselves and a resurrection to Christ through them.
According to Romans 4:11 baptism should be received, just like Abraham received the sign of circumcision, a seal of righteousness.
A believer should be baptized in the name (person, character, nature) of Jesus. To be baptized is to be immersed into Jesus. Jesus is the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
If a person believes and confesses, they need to be instructed about baptism. (Acts 8:36-37) Water baptism is the answer of a good conscience toward God (1 Peter 3:21)
About the Holy Spirit: Resurrection typifies the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit brings our spirit back to life.
Salvation is a work of the Spirit of God. If someone is a believer, the Holy Spirit is already present. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is for evangelism, witnessing, giving evidence of his resurrection, leading us, guiding us into truth, teaching us and bringing all things to our remembrance (Acts 1:8; John 14:26; 16:13; Rom. 8:14)
Speaking in other tongues is an evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-4; Acts 10:44-47; Acts 19:6)
The world cannot receive the Spirit of truth (John 14:16-17.) One cannot be baptized in the Holy
Spirit without first being forgiven, justified, and born again.
About Eschatology: We believe in the literal Second Coming of our Lord, the literal rule of Christ upon the earth, the resurrection of the regenerate to eternal life and the unregenerate to eternal damnation, and the ultimate victory of the eternal Kingdom of God. (Acts 1:9-11; Daniel 12:2; Revelation 22:1-7). We align closely to the historic premillennialist views held by a majority of early church fathers.
About Communion: The Lord’s Supper symbolizes the Lord’s Death and Suffering for the benefit and in the place of His people. It also symbolizes the believer’s participation in the crucified Christ. It represents not only the death of Christ as the object of faith which unites the believers to Christ, but also the effect of this act as the giving of life, strength, and joy to the soul. The communicant by faith enters into a special union of his soul with the glorified Christ.
