Herb and Jan will celebrate their 61th anniversary this year!
God has called and anointed them to encourage and build up the body of Christ throughout the Pacific Island nations with the Word of Faith they preach – Romans 10:6-13. Since 2003, God has opened doors for them to hold 3-5 week mission crusades throughout the islands of Micronesia, and the South Pacific. Returning year after year to these islands, they have reached 1,000s upon 1,000s of people in churches, Bible schools, homes, hotels, hospitals, prisons and open-air meetings to many different denominations. (see CRUSADES for some highlights)
MICRONESIAN LIFE MINISTRIES was birthed in 1985 as an outgrowth of a hospital ministry to Micronesians who came to Hawaii for medical treatment. Faith in God and by the Holy Spirit’s leading Herb and Jan Schneider moved, with their 3 daughters, from Colorado to Hawaii, where Herb’s dream was fulfilled as an airline pilot. At the age of 5 Herb knew he would be a pilot and preach God’s Word in the Pacific Islands.
Between flights to other Hawaiian Islands, Herb began sharing God’s Word on healing with patients from the Marshall Islands. Many received miraculous healings and returned to their home islands, praying that God would send the Schneiders to their islands to share God’s Word. Herb’s airline went bankrupt, and God opened the door for them to move to Kwajalein, the Marshall Islands, where they lived, flew airplanes, and ministered for 13 years.
In 2001, the ministry head-quarters was set up on the Big Island, Hawaii, where several times a year, Herb and Jan fly out to hold crusades in Micronesia, and the South Pacific Islands. God has given them favor with church leaders of many different denominations, raised up financial partners, allowing them to pay for their transportation, hotels, etc., making it possible to Bless thousands of people with the gospel of Christ. Herb and Jan have personally ministered on several islands in 17 Pacific Island nations, plus Australia and the Philippines, and witnessed God touch the lives of thousands of people.
