Last September I was planning on traveling to Montana to shoot a series of four videos for the Montana Southern Baptist Convention. That trip got cancelled due to scheduling conflicts. I glad to say that we've finally worked out all the kinks and I'll be flying to the "Treasure State" on February 27.
David Hobbs and I will spend a week traveling between four of the highest populated cities in Montana. We will interview church planters in each city to learn more about what God is doing through their ministry. We will use this footage to create four Dateline style pieces to be used by churches throughout Montana. We'll also shoot additional interview footage with one of the churches to create an information video that they can share with prospective members.
The purpose of the video is to help Montana Southern Baptists see Montana with missional eyes, consider various ministry strategies for reaching Montanans, and receive God's vision for His Kingdom in Montana.
A few stats about Montana:
- 62% of Montana's population lives in seven cities.
- The unchurched/unreached population is as high as 90% in some of the seven cities.
- There are only 32 SBC churches which have a combined weekly average attendance of 2,869 in the seven cities. That's one SBC church for every 18,569 people (0.0048% of the population)!
- Montana is now the number one state in the United States for suicide (22 suicides per 100,000 people).
Please pray for us as we prepare for this project and as we're traveling.
