Still Singin' and Pickin'

Howdy Folks!
We're starting into our second week and we've already done six performances. Suzann has made it her mission to hand out the cowboy tracts and there are not too many folks get by the product table without getting a few.

The SB church in St. Anthony held a fellowship after the morning service and I presented a short concert of gospel songs and cowboy poems. Hopefully, next year they can organize an outreach event. Now that they know more about our ministry, this is a real possibility.

This weekend we're heading to the Hagerman, Idaho, Cowboy Poets Gathering and a Cowboy Church service at Bliss. It will be the first time for either of these events in the area. Pray, particularly, for the Cowboy Church service as the gospel is presented in song and poem.

On the trail for Jesus,

Parked and Ready to Go

Howdy folks!

Well, here we are parked in Blackfoot, Idaho. The trip down was uneventful. A lttle windy and cold, but we had good roads all the way.

Our first Sunday was sure busy. The first service was on the Fort Hall Reservation at the Mountain View Baptist Church. These folks sure like to sing the old hymns. I wanted to stop singing and just listen. After the service, we drove about 100 km to the people. We were amazed at the progress of their building program. Nearly 60 people, including some who had never been to the church before, showed up for the service, and it was a grand time of singing and fellowship.

We'll be moving the trailer to St. Anthony for the Cowboy Poetry Gathering on the weekend. This year we hope to be able to participate in a Cowboy Church Service at the local Southern Baptist Church. This will be the first for the Gathering and a wonderful time to share the Gospel.

Please continue to pray for us as we travel. Particularly, that we stay healthy and the the Lord will enable us to continue this ministry for His honour and glory.

On the Trail,

Mike and Suzann Burns

On the Cowboy Trail 2007

Howdy Folks!

This is my first blog and, according to my son, I am now a big blogger. Evelyn Marinoski, my webmaster guru, told me to send out a blog before we left in case I was having any trouble. Well, here it is.

We leave tomorrow morning (April 11th) for the start of our tour. Our first services will be in Blackfoot and Moore, Idaho, on Sunday, April 15th. We've been to both of these churches before and are looking forward to being back with these folks. The trailer is nearly packed and ready to go, just a few more groceries and clothes to put in. With the weather, we are going to take more winter clothes just to be on the safe side.

Got a call from Idaho last night telling us that the CDs and tracks have arrived. We ordered another 500 of the cowboy tracks from Ronnie Hill Ministries. Hopefully, that will get us through the first tour.

Well, that's it for my first blog. I have to get busy loading the trailer so that we can leave tomorrow morning. Please pray for us as we start this ministry tour.

Welcome to Mike & Suzann's Blog!

Mike and Suzann are about to set off on another trip to share the gospel western style. This blog will make it possible for them to keep us updated on their travels and allow us to encourage them along the way too. So come back often to see where they're at, and then add your post of encouragement too!

Blessings,
Evelyn (their webmaster)
