Our mission was to establish Bible study groups and cowboy churches. We met with several Cattlemen’s Associations and found a great reception. So much so that I’ll be going back this coming January to preach from horse back at a rodeo. There will be approximately 4,000 people packed into the stadium. The Association wants an activity before the rodeo starts to bring some order out of the chaos of that many people waiting.
While in Guatemala last January, I had the opportunity to preach on horse back to a group of 35-40 people. Fourteen prayed to receive Christ as their personal Savior. The man who owned the ranchero committed to holding Bible studies for the Guatemalan cowboys (vaqueros). That was just one of the numerous opportunities we had to share the Gospel.
We also had the honor of hosting a group from Guatemala at our home in August. With Steve Reed and Cesar Gonzales interpreting and coordinating the events, we were able to share the Gospel using our horses as illustrations, visit a grain operation, and a cattle operation. We also took them to the State Fair. While here, some made professions of faith.
Pray for us as we prepare to go back. We are currently putting together a team to go. If you would like to help financially, contact Steve Reed, Sam Anderson or the Association office. But most of all pray, pray, pray that souls might be saved.
