Good News for the New Year!

Thank You Jesus!
I want to close out 2009 and ring in 2010 with some great news! I have recently passed the half-way point in fund-raising for Mexico! I only have 46% of my monthly budget left to raise! I still need $714.oo a month in pledges, but God has brought me this far and He will take me the rest of the way. I trust Him to be my Provider. I am looking forward to what He is going to do in the next 6 months.

Many of you have been faithful to pray and give. Thank you. No matter how big or small your part in this, I sincerely appreciate your help. God is using you to bless me and increase my faith now, but He is also going to bless many people in Mexico in the near future because of your faithfulness. Thank you for your obedience!

Happy New Year!

What's This All About?



Janene Snyder, Missionary Associate
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8
Hey Everyone,
Welcome to my blog! The following post is what I should have put on here first, as it explains the details of what I will be doing in Mexico for a year. I hope this helps things seem less confusing for those who have not yet heard about this ministry. I am very new to this whole thing, so please bear with me as I learn how to make this an informative, enjoyable experience for you. Thank you for your interest!

Here's the Exciting News:
God has opened an exciting door for ministry in Mexico. I have the opportunity to serve missionaries and their children by working in a private, Christian school as a Missionary Associate for one year. My responsibilities will include being a teacher’s aide and tutor to the elementary students, mentoring the older female students, and filling in for the administrative assistant part-time. Along with the work at the school, I would also like to get involved in a local church and be a part of out-reaches to the community.

How Can You Help?
Here are two ways you can help me get to Mexico. First of all, I would be honored if you would pray for me and the school in Oaxaca. Prayer and personal encouragement is vital! And secondly, if you are able and willing to give financially, that would be very much appreciated.
Ready, Set, Go!In order to leave in the summer of 2010, I still need to raise about $1,100.00 a month in pledges. If you choose to come along-side me financially in this work, please send donations to the address listed below. Please make checks payable to Assemblies of God World Missions with my name and account number on the memo line. You can also give online at: www.worldmissions.ag.org.

Thank You!
Thank you for taking time to read about this opportunity. I appreciate your willingness to consider this ministry in a time when finances are limited, to say the least! Please join me in praying for the many preparations to be made, the students and missionaries to whom I will be ministering and the raising of the needed finances.

Many Blessings,
Janene Snyder

Merry Christmas to my dear friends and family!

Christmas is nearly upon us. There are many preparations to be made; parties and dinners to attend, gifts to purchase, family visits to plan and the list goes on. Yes, it’s a busy season, but let’s not get so carried away that we forget the most important preparation of all, our hearts. “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:11) Jesus, our Savior, came. From that moment on, all time was changed. Heaven announced a new way, through the birth of one tiny baby. What a precious gift! So, in all of the hurry that is part of the holiday season, please take time to remember the very purpose for why we celebrate. Jesus arrived!! Merry Christmas!

Mexico Update:
Since you last heard from me, several great things have happened. I have been honored to visit two churches and share about the work I will be doing in Mexico. Both churches received me warmly and I feel like I have made new friends all over Montana. I thank God for the encouragement, prayer, and blessing of His faithful children. Praise the Lord!

Although I do still need to raise about $1,150.00 in monthly pledges, God has continued to prove His faithfulness to provide, as my cash budget of $6,721.00 has been filled through very generous givers like you! I find it exciting and wonderfully surprising when God moves people to give and they respond! Thank you for your part in praying and giving. I understand that it is a sacrifice and you could be using your money for many other good and worthy causes. Thank you for choosing to share it with me. I am touched and blessed.

Need a Christmas Gift Idea?
In order to raise funds for Mexico, I am willing to help with odd jobs. If you, or someone you know, would like assistance with gift-wrapping, shopping/errand-running, cleaning, ironing, childcare, elderly care, etc., please free to contact me. I am available most evenings and weekends. This could be a great Christmas gift for a busy person!

Thank you!
Thank you again for faithfully partnering in this ministry with me. I am so blessed to have you on my team. May God fill you with His joy and excitement this Christmas. May you be caught up in the wonder of His love. Remember, He loved you enough to send the very best of heaven to earth.



Merry Christmas!
