Into All The World | Travis & Teri Snode

Dear Pastors & Praying Friends, April was probably one of the busiest furlough months we have had so far!  We drove 7000 miles and were in 12 different churches in the states of NC, OH, TN, VT, and NY.  We were in church services 19 out of the 30 days in the month! God was [...]

Dear Pastors & Praying Friends, We drove 5500 miles last month.  The Lord blessed with meetings at thirteen different churches in the states of TN, KY, OH, IL, and WV.  One of the new churches we visited   voted to take us on for support which puts us at 83%! We praise the Lord for [...]

As we prepare to return to the mission field, we are thankful for the new support that is coming in.  This new support is necessary to replace some lost support as well as provide for additional expenses that we will incur as we launch forward in the work and move to the more expensive city [...]

On July 26 – August 5 2013, we are hosting a mission trip to Northern Ireland.  The purpose of the trip is to help the church in Derry/Londonderry with a special week of outreach.  If you are interested in attending, we have good news.  The registration deadline has been extended from March 1, 2013 to [...]

Thank you for taking the time to read this series of posts on the challenges in Europe.  I would love to hear your thoughts about this topic.  I am sure there is much I have missed or failed to explain well.  Please give me your comments. This final post is basically an introduction to a [...]

One of the biggest problems with mission work in Europe is the same problem missionaries have all over the world: they fail to train leaders. Missionaries spend all their time trying to get converts and do not train leaders. Missionaries spend all their time trying to build their church up to look like an American [...]

In contrast to other continents, Europe as a whole is very wealthy.  Some of the countries in Europe are the wealthiest in the world, with the European Union being the largest economy in the world with a GDP of $18.5 trillion (USA is $14 trillion). Luxemborg has 2nd highest per capita GDP – $81,000 Norway [...]

Another challenge that is often faced in Europe (and around the world) is discouragement. For some reason, we are extremely concerned about numbers and visible fruit.  We usually judge success by how many souls are saved, how many churches are started, and how many are in attendance.  We fail to judge our ministry by how [...]

One of the primary ways in which Satan is at work in our world is through sowing doubt and attacking the truth of the word of God.  We see that as far back as the first temptation in the Garden of Eden, he was trying to get man to believe a lie. False doctrine is [...]
