Ezekiel Schmidt

Missionary & Creation Science Communicator

Sharing his passion for dinosaurs from a Biblical standpoint is an expression of discipleship in the life of Ezekiel. Ezekiel offers presentations that communicate the truth of Biblical Creation with an emphasis on dinosaurs. With God's help, both Ezekiel and his Dad developed, designed and produced a creation based game called The Dino Egg Hunt. The goal of this game project is to point the light of creation towards God while giving families an opportunity to learn and have fun playing a game about some of the coolest creatures God made on the earth; dinosaurs. A disciple of Jesus does something to make a positive difference in the world all for the glory of God. May God bless you Ezekiel for modeling Discipleship in Action by doing something impactful for God's glory while having fun in the process.

Commitment & Discipleship
