What do you think when you look at a horse? Is it another of God’s creation or maybe you just have never thought about it. When I see a horse I think about an opportunity to share Christ. Like a Christian songwriter that wants to write songs that honor and praise God, I want to use the horse to honor and praise God. Thus, God has called into creation HorseGate Ministry.
It all started in 1997 at a John Lyon’s Horse Symposium in Denver. John is a Christian and tours the world teaching people about horses. Any Sunday he starts the day with a Cowboy Worship Service. I was at a service one Sunday and learned how to share Christ through the horse. What impressed me more was the service extended 15 minutes pass the allotted time and I watched as people who chose not to come for the service was standing on the side listening to a message about Christ. They were standing there listening because they loved horses and John was using a horse.
From that time on God opened up doors and led me to start HorseGate Ministry. At first my time was divided between my job and the ministry. Later God poured into my heart to leave my job and go full time with HorseGate Ministry. So, in 2002 after a tremendous time of struggling and prayer I stepped into the saddle of faith. I’m so glad because it has been a challenging and great trail ride.
May God and His Son Jesus Christ Bless You!
