Bott Radio Network

On Saturday, March 22nd, Bott Radio Network in Memphis' 640 AM sponsored a rodeo crusade with Circle Cross Ministries at the Show Place Arena. The event was the kick off for Circle Cross Cowboy Church, a new church start part of the Mid-South Baptist Association. Prior to the event Pastors Mark Wilson and Stan McCall were interviewed on 640 AM's Mid-South View Point. With over 3,000 in attendance, Pastor Wilson attributes the success of the crusade solely to the promotion on 640 AM, the exclusive media sponsor. Crusade events included barrel racing, professional bull riding, and the Glory Riders, a mounted ministry team from Texas. BRN Program Director, Byron Tyler, greeted families who came out for the fun. Before the final bull riding competition pastor Wilson, who is also a rodeo bullfighter, opened God’s Word and shared the Gospel. The finale of the evening was filled with thrills as 640 AM’s Production Assistant Josh Tyler rode a bull for the first time as the celebrity bull rider. Other than a sprain shoulder and a couple of cracked ribs, Josh is doing alright! Josh says, “I had a great time and would do it again!” For more info on the Circle Cross Cowboy Church visit www.thecirclecross.com.
