Gary and Annetta Marie Snowden were commissioned by the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention in October, 1986. After a year of Spanish language study at the Instituto de Lengua Española in San José, Costa Rica, they moved to Mendoza, Argentina where Gary pastored the First Baptist Church of Guaymallén and also taught at the associational Lay Training Institute.

In 1993, the Snowdens moved to Buenos Aires where Gary began teaching at the International Baptist Theological Seminary. He also directs the national Theological Education by Extension program.

The Snowden family is also involved in church planting. They have helped begin new churches both in Mendoza and in Martinez, a suburb in the North Zone of Greater Buenos Aires.  In 1999, they joined the North Buenos Aires Church Planting Team, where they continue to serve.
