Allen Snyder experienced his first encounter with the Holy Spirit as a young child in Idaho. Though he sensed a call on his life early on, he later wandered into years marked by sin and shame. By the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ, Allen was rescued and restored through faith in Christ’s death and resurrection. He and his wife Annie joined The Gospel Church in 2023, where he now serves as a shepherding elder. Allen especially delights in baptizing new believers in the surf of the Pacific Ocean.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ transformed Erick and Sylvia’s marriage, rescuing them from sin and restoring their lives through faith in Christ’s death and resurrection. Having experienced forgiveness and new life through the Holy Spirit, they now love ministering the Gospel together and pointing others to the redeeming power of Jesus.
