The Snyder family has been doing great here in Santa Marta, Colombia! We have seen the Lord's continual faithfulness in our lives and ministry and we are excited for what lies ahead! Below is a brief update on the past few months.
We are happy to announce that we are heading to the U.S for the holidays! We will be back "home" from November 17 through the beginning of January. It will be a big adjustment to the cold weather (at least for me), but we are looking forward to being with family and the girls experiencing their first real Thanksgiving and Christmas. We do hope to see some snow (but not too much)!
Ignite the Fire Church
Almost five months have now passed since we had our first service. It hasn't always been easy, but the Lord has been faithful and we look forward to all He has in store. Starting mid-November, the non-profit will "disappear" and all our activities will be under the name of the church. Next year we will not be having activities in the same way as we have been for the past five years. We will be encouraging all the kids to attend church be able to grow a lot more spiritually. We also plan on starting our Fire School (missions + evangelism + Bible training) next year on Saturday mornings.
Leadership team!
Construction & Renovations
We have been blessed to see a radical transformation of our ministry center over the past two months! Thanks to the Lord and our supporters for the donations that have allowed us to keep moving forward!
Mia and Zoe are growing up FAST! Mia turned 3 on August 15 and Zoe turned 1 on July 12. Most importantly, they are developing a love for the Lord and for worshiping Him.

Sister love!
Maria and I have been doing well and have just celebrated five and a half years of marriage! Life has been a bit crazy with raising two young kids and doing ministry, but God has been graciously helping and teaching us!
