Felix Snipes

Hall of Faith Class of 2016

GEORGIA

Felix Snipes’ ministry was entitled “New Dimensions Evangelism,” through which he served in evangelism for 59 years. A graduate of Mississippi Baptist College, Felix employed his talents as a professional illusionist to attract the unchurched.

Married to Patsy Chambers Snipes, the Snipes family hailed from 
Atlanta, Georgia, and were long-time members of First Baptist Church of Atlanta.

Felix Snipes lived a multi-layered life, with a multi-level career. Illusionist performances played an important part in his life; it was a gouache – a patina – that became interwoven as the very fabric of Felix Snipes. Felix utilized it as one of many tools to focus the everyday threads of life, toward an eternal promise; not only for himself, but for the rest of the world.
