Looking back on all that God has done in our family and ministry this past year, we can’t help but be thankful! We had a crazy, but great, month of December organizing three end-of-the-year parties and other events. We were able to finish out December strong, and are already looking forward to all that God is going to do this year! Below are just a few of the party pics.
We were blessed to receive so many donations here in Colombia
and from donors in the U.S.!

Mia continues to grow up really fast and is already five months old! She is a good mix of her mom and her dad. She loves going on trips, being out and about, baths, eating, listening to the guitar, and smiling. She is a blessing from God! Thankfully, she received her U.S. passport and now is all ready to travel! | |
In December, we had the opportunity to do a few ministry events in different neighborhoods in Santa Marta where we had the opportunity to bless the kids!
In Santana (Dec 18), we taught a lesson about the meaning of Christmas, made a craft, did a creative activity, and played games! | In Sierra Verde (our apt complex) on Dec 23, we taught a lesson about the meaning of Christmas, danced, made crafts, and played games! |
Game day in Pantano (Dec 14)! | Handing out gifts! |
Maria and I are continually learning how to do life and ministry with a baby. We are learning a lot about patience, trust, and sowing seeds into our daughter's life. We celebrated 32 months on december 13 and Mia four months on the 15th! We are challenged to raise our expectations of God and what He will do as well as believe Him for the impossible. At the end of January, we will be going to a conference in Villavicencio, Colombia as guests for a ministry the works with indigenous groups and training missionaries. We feel this could be a great partnering opportunity for Enciende El Fuego!
The Snyder family wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
