2020 has started off with a bang! God has done so much in just two months that we are super excited for what the rest of the year holds in store! We know that this year will be a year of even greater blessing as a family and ministry. Throughout the past two months God has given us an expanded vision, a focus on heavenly treasures, and an even greater anointing and favor of the Holy Spirit!

Mia is now SIX months old and gets cuter each day! She has started crawling a bit backwards, has started eating soft foods, loves smiling at people, sleeps most of the night, still loves her bath time, and can't sit still for very long! Some say she looks more like her mom and some say more like her dad. She has already been to Santa Marta, Barranquilla, Valledupar, Pueblo Bello, Bogotá, and Villavicencio. We know and have witnessed that God has a special calling, anointing, and favor upon her life and we love her very much! | Mia Joy Snyder |
Our trip to Pueblo Bello
In early January, we had the opportunity to take a mini "vacation" to Valledupar and Pueblo Bello and visit an America/Colombian family who we had met in Santa Marta last July. It was great to visit with them, see their work with the indigenous communities, and just get away for a few days.
We had an awesome experience at the church service with the indigenous peoples. We felt God's love for the indigenous people and even had a vision of us working with indigenous communities! (A lot of the pics couldn't be uploaded because of large file sizes).
