FOSSIL TRIPS

Come on a fossil finding field trip with Geologist John Mackay, International Director of Creation Research or Martin Legemaate, Ontario Museum Curator.
Join us and collect the rock solid facts on creation. These guided activities will help you see the evidence of
God's handiwork as Creator, and his awesome power as judge of the earth.
You will learn how to look for evidence of Creation and Catastrophe/Noah's Flood and discover exciting things
about the rapid formation of rocks. You'll get some great rock/fossil specimens and enjoy a fantastic day out.
(Most trips are for ages 10 and up. Group size from 25 to 45 people)
You organize the group and we’ll organize the rocks! Contact Martin Legemaate for more information at:

FOSSIL TRIP FEEDBACK
Thank you for the effort you put into the field trip last Saturday. It was a memorable experience and I'm sure
will be very beneficial in helping me to think things through as I continue in my writing career. God bless,
Marianne Foscarini, Markham Ontario.
I can't say how much this stuff Rrrrocks...! literally... really great stuff for evangelism. Looks like kids these days are growing up being taught about dinosaurs everywhere and this is a great opportunity to catch their interest in our Creator and Redeemer God.
This Creation Research stuff is really a gem - thanks for introducing me to it!!.
