I have had the privilege to work with Bro. Schmidt and watch him grow as a leader. I believe that his skill set, ministry fervor, and love for people will serve him well for this particular field. I am excited to see how God will use it in the years ahead.
I ask that you would join us as we pray for the Schmidt’s survey trip, deputation, and their ministry on the field. I also ask that you consider joining us in financially supporting the Schmidt Family.
If you have any questions for me personally, feel free to contact me.

He faithfully attended visitation, witnessed to teens in his public school, sang in the teen and adult choirs, and would lead in devotions or preach in the teen department when asked. He was also an encouragement to his kid brother and sister and helped to mold and shape them to follow Christ, and they both now serve full- time in their prospective churches.
Mike has always thrown himself completely into whatever the Lord has called him to do. When Mike felt the call to preach, he never faltered and was excited to attend Bible college, where he continued to grow in his faith. After graduating, Mike was faithful to serve the Lord in the church where God placed him.
