Cowboy evangelist brings gospel to Oklahoma State Fair Evangelist Steve Womack brings Cowboy Church to the Oklahoma State Fair in Oklahoma City.
September 19, 2011
A cowboy evangelist strummed his guitar and sang about a loving Lord in a livestock sale arena Sunday at the Oklahoma State Fair.
There amid the hustle and bustle of the livestock barns and just a stroll away from the midway, Steve Womack held a Cowboy Church service with plenty of country flair and Midwestern charm.
Womack, 58, said the Cowboys for Christ service was open to all who found themselves at the fair on a sunny Sunday morning.
“We go to livestock fairs, livestock shows and rodeos,” Womack told the crowd of about 50 people gathered.
“It doesn't matter whether you're into cattle, sheep or chickens — we're bringing the gospel to you.”
Womack, who lives in Noble, said he gave his life to the Lord in 1974. He said he soon felt called to be an evangelist, but he didn't think that he would have many opportunities to preach to the rodeo crowd he hung out with. He said a year later, he found a cowboy ministry and he's been traveling and preaching at different livestock events ever since.
“I feel lucky that He let me stay with the people I loved ‘cause back in those days, they would have laughed you out of there if you mentioned church,” he said of his former rodeo crowd.Read more: http://newsok.com/cowboy-evangelist-brings-gospel-to-oklahoma-state-fair/article/3605618#ixzz1YOaPc3Fs
