Bob & Karon Schneider
After Bob & Karon were married, they worked in an internship in Chicago and then spent 4 years at Mayfair Bible Church in Flushing, where Bob served as youth pastor for 1 1/2 years. In 1991 they moved to the Barcelona area and helped to start Ripollet Bible Church. The second church plant established was in the south of Spain. In 2002 the Lord led them to Luquillo, Puerto Rico where the Luquillo Bible Church was planted. They are involved in hospitality, discipleship, evangelism, and training leaders as well as the different church meetings. In January of 2021 they started an English-speaking service as well and Bob is starting a ministry with interns and young pastors. He is seeking to help the next generation of leaders. Bob & Karon’s ministry is to begin and establish churches. This means there is a strong emphasis on evangelism and training their people to be involved in ministry. In the Handyman Ministry, Bob goes with others from the church to trim or cut down trees for free. This has opened a fantastic door to form friendships and share the gospel. Karon is part of a team that is translating the Bible into sign language, geared for the people of Puerto Rico. She is also working with a weekly ladies’ Bible study, hospitality, Sunday School and worship. Bob is writing theology studies, geared towards equipping his people to thoroughly understand the important doctrines of the Bible, and these studies have been well received. His goal is to have them translated into many languages and used by many people. They are free and can be found at MentorMaterial.com. Bob & Karon have an English ministry and a Spanish ministry, both under the same roof. They also reach out to young pastors from Puerto Rico, providing fellowship and mentoring. Their daughter Elyssa is a missionary in Texas. Their son Daniel is married, with 3 children, and is working as an anesthesiologist. Their youngest son, Jonathan, finished his Masters in Harp performance. He is currently giving Christian concerts in Barcelona, Spain and has applied to become a missionary.
