Shopping makes you thirsty. After hours of walking up and down the aisles at one of the Christmas expos at the NFR, I made a b-line to a booth with a water cooler. That’s where I met Cowboy Butch.

Butch gave me the sales pitch for his magnetic water, telling about the cowboys who believe in his natural healing products. Somehow we transitioned to talking about God and his Cowboy Crusade ministry.

Cowboy Crusade uses technology – originally conference calls – to encourage people in their faith and leadership in ministries. Through the Internet and blogtalkradio.com, Butch is now reaching more people with a weekly interview show. Every Wednesday at 10 am Mountain Time, Butch interviews pastors and ministry leaders, who are typically focused on reaching cowboys/cowgirls and horse people.

If you have a chance, check out the interviews live or in the stored archive. I particularly liked the interview with BJ Jordan of Crossroads Horse Ministry. If you have any questions or comments to share during the live show, you can call in at: 347-945-7709.

Cowboy Crusade is just one example of how the Internet and technology is helping to spread the Good News, and encourage ministry leaders and everyday people. It’s great to see it used for God’s glory.
