MISSIONS TEAM

FRAN SCHNEIDER

TEAM MEMBER

I am a Door County native, born and raised. I grew up on a farm near Jacksonport and then in Egg Harbor. I was raised Catholic and learned to follow rules. A quote attributed to Josh McDowell, "rules without relationships leads to rebellion" characterized my BC (before Christ) days. It took God 41 years to get my attention! I surrendered my life to Jesus in 1992. It's been a rollercoaster ride, but Jesus has kept me safe and given me peace as I leaned into Him on the ups and downs and sharp turns.

I have had a passion for missions since early on in my walk. I have lead numerous short term trips during the years. I believe that everyone needs to take a short term mission trip to a third world country, if for no other reason than to appreciate just how blessed we are. God gave me a heart for the First People (Native Americans) and their plight in 2006 and I have been involved in ministry to the First People in some way ever since.
