Look out Montana...here we come!

David Hobbs and I will fly to Montana on Friday to shoot a series of videos for the Montana Southern Baptist Convention. We’ll spend a week traveling to church plants in Great Falls, Kalispell, Missoula, Billings and Livingston.

Some of the interviews we capture on film will include:

- A 99-year old pastor who is believed to be the last living person who was at the 1925 Southern Baptist Convention (where the Cooperative Program was birthed)

- A pastor at a contemporary church plant that is meeting in the same building as a traditional church (sound familiar FBC?)

- A church planter who is working to develop the strategy that will be used by the Montana Southern Baptist Convention for church plants all across the state

- A pastor at a biker church who said he’d have to stand up and make an announcement before we start filming so that those in the congregation who have outstanding warrants will have an opportunity to leave.


We’ll use these interviews and other footage we shoot throughout the week to tell the story of how God is working through church plants across Montana. Each story will be a stand-alone feature about a particular aspect of church planting, and all four of the stories will connect with one another to tell the greater story of the need for the Baker State Missions Offering.

Pray for us as we travel, pray for our families while we’re away, pray for the churches we’ll be visiting, and pray that God would be glorified in all we say and do.

I’ll be blogging throughout the week (as long as I have internet access), so be sure to check back and follow along.
