Cowboy Church of Mineral Wells 2010 Mission Trip to Sweden

With a population of 9.2 million and an area of 450,295 Km Sweden is the third largest country in the European Union. It is sad to say that Sweden is known as the most secular country in the world with up to 85% of the population classified as atheist or agnostic. We thank God for the Cowboy Church of Mineral Wells as a Key Church and a Partner with the Missions Mobilization Team of the Texas Baptists. The Cowboy Church of Mineral Wells has a mandate to share God's Word with Cowboys and Cowgirls and reach the Unchurched Everywhere. Sweden has a love for all things "Wild West", which makes this mission trip a great opportunity. Sweden has a Western theme park called High Chaparral which was built by a man who goes by the name Big Bengt, and says his guide is the Bible. It's a Wild West theme park that boasts some of the best American Memorabilia in the world and is home to many western-style events.

The Cowboy Church of Mineral Wells is sending a team of seven to lead the parade at High Chaparral which is expecting 18,000 people at it's show. This team will be praying with and for the riders; they will hold two church services per day; hold roping, farrier, and reined cowhorse demonstrations which will blend skill and bible teaching. One of the members of the Cowboy Church of Mineral Wells will be competing in the show (which will be giving him a unique opportunity to share the gospel with other contestants). The team members of the mission trip will all have the opportunity to meet the people of Sweden and share God's Word. The mission of this team will be to introduce as many Swedes as possible to "The Greatest Cowboy of them All".
