We are very much looking forward to what God will do through us in 2026. We just finished our Missions Conference here at First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana, and God blessed with 17 missionary families and Pastor Dean Noonan. This was our first year having a Monday night “Taste of the World,” where 13 different adult classes made a booth with food from around the world. I’m thankful for our adult Bible class, as we represented Peru. My wife Eren made Peruvian sauces, and our class served rotisserie chicken and potatoes.
God has blessed us during the Christmas season with our family, and we are thankful to be caring for my dad 24/7 in our home. Thank you for your prayers. Also during this season, we have had the privilege to help over a dozen FBMI missionaries with grief, finances, counseling, questions they had, and so many more areas.
The fall semester of Hyles-Anderson College went well, and we are now in the beginning of the spring semester. It is awesome to see and feel the buzz of the students, as so many are interested in serving our Lord Jesus Christ on the foreign field. What a privilege it is to teach Bible and missions classes once again this spring semester for the 20th year, after serving on the mission field for 7 years! Please pray that God uses us and the college students!
Our New Grace Adult Class has welcomed several first-time visitors since 2026 started. Yesterday, Ray, who has served our armed services for 7 months in the West, came and brought a friend. That was just one of the 4 first-time guests we had. One of the ladies in the class plans to get baptized next Sunday!
Even though weather has been extremely cold, God has given me many opportunities to share the Gospel with others. We have seen people saved out soul winning, during the invitation, and during our Sunday school class. A couple of weeks ago, I asked our class who went soul winning that week, and after they responded, one of the ladies in our class raised her hand and said, “I need to get saved.” We had another lady in our class share the Gospel with her, and she trusted Christ as her Saviour. Thank you for praying.
Thank you for allowing us to serve dozens of missionaries on the foreign field, hundreds of college students, and scores of adults through our Bible class. God is using you. Thank you for your prayers and support.
For His glory,
Jeremy Snipes
FBMI Field Services Coordinator for Africa and Europe
