Salute Pastor Barry Snodgrass: An awesome man of God, spiritual father and mentor (for many years) of the faith has transitioned from earth to glory. And, although I am saddened, I rejoice with the angels, that he is now at rest with the Lord.
Personally, Pastor Barry was like a father to me, and he never abandoned me, but remained in my life through the thick and thin. I marvel now, that even though he dealt with a lot of sickness, he never complained, and always availed himself whenever I called. He was an awesome man of wisdom, great counsel, and flowed in the deep revelatory knowledge of God. He always walked in integrity/ godly character, and was a true Apostle/Prophet, yet, he carried it with true humility and Love of God. I salute you this day Pastor Barry Snodgrass, I love you and with many tears you will be missed.
To his family Cynthia Snodgrass, and children, my prayers and love are with you, and I publicly want to say thank you for sharing your husband and father so unselfishly with us all.

I'm truly at a loss for words, my dear friend,brother and confidant has gone home. Bro Barry was truly a man of God, he taught me many truths out of the Word of God, even before he was a Preacher. I can hear him saying now "I want to see Jesus" yes he was truly sold out for the Lord and did very well and was faithful. I'll never forget him, and the world has lost a great light!! Rest In Heaven my brother, my friend, my confidant you walked your talk, your light touched many lives, and because you were obedient to God people have been saved!! To Cynthia, Brandy, Mariah and London - you had one of the best in your lives, hold to all your memories cause, that's where you'll always find him.
