Into All The World | Travis & Teri Snode

Pastor Trent Cornwell wrote the following open letter to the parents of our home church in America. I thought his letter was very helpful. I don’t imagine that there is anything more challenging than seeing your children and grandchildren go off to the mission field. Maybe this letter will help you as you consider this […]

Psalm 133:1-3 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life […]

And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men. And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them. (Genesis 24:59, 60 KJV) Rebekah’s family here […]

My family and I worked as church planters in Northern Ireland for 8 years. In September of 2013, we came back to the States for a 10-month furlough. Our furlough is actually over now, and we have now returned to Northern Ireland. But it might surprise most people that I was NOT excited about returning […]

Pastor Gardner wrote this on his blog, and I thought it contained some very good lessons for marriage people. Genesis 16:5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge […]

I read this today on the Sonshine Bulletin and thought it was quite humorous. YOU KNOW YOU’RE A MISSIONARY KID WHEN… You can’t answer the question, “Where are you from?” You have a passport, but no driver’s license. You watch National Geographic specials and recognize someone. You have a time zone map next to your […]

Recently, I counseled with a young single person about their relationship with a member of the opposite gender.  I tried to give them some principles and opinions that I thought might be helpful to other single people.  I recognize that I do not have Bible for all of this, but maybe something I say will […]

My wife, Teri, wrote the following for her devotions recently, and I wanted to share with you her perspective on sacrificing for the Lord.  I am so thankful for my wife and her submission to God’s will for her life. Romans 12:1, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present […]

When I was nine years old, God first put a desire in my heart to be a missionary.  I wanted more than anything else to preach the gospel to the lost.  For the last eight years, I have been living that dream.  Though my original idea of the place I was going was considerably different […]

When Teri and I went on our 10th anniversary get-away, I took Ten Secrets for a Successful Family with me.  It had been on my shelf for a while. In the book, Pastor Adrian Rodgers looks at how the ten commandments can be applied to the home.  He uses a good balance of Scriptural teaching […]
