Back to School

For those of you who live in Rockford, you may have been wondering to yourself, “I know the Snyders are back from the Congo, but where have they been? I haven’t seen them yet”. Let us tell you. Four days after we returned from the Congo, we packed up again and drove up to Minneapolis for a little over a week. In Minneapolis, we attended “Pre-field Training Live” with ReachGlobal. All of the missionaries preparing to work with ReachGlobal are required to attend this training…kind of like missionary school. It was a very beneficial time for us. We met many amazing people and learned a lot from the various sessions we attended during the training. We even have photos to share with you.

Our team back in the classroom


We even did group projects


It only took one week in the States and we gained back some of the weight we lost in the Congo


Including the day we had squid for lunch


Group shot of all the missionaries, some of their kids and the trainers who took part in "Pre-field Training". It was a joy to spend the week with all these people and we are excited for all the different ministries awaiting each person in the countries they are headed.


We are now pleased to announce that we are home in the Rockford area! We are especially pleased to no longer be living out of a suitcase. We attended our home church, Harvest Bible Chapel, on Sunday morning and were grateful to reconnect with some of our friends. We have now begun to plan the next steps of support-raising and are arranging to meet with friends and family we haven’t seen since August. We look forward to hanging out soon!
