First Baptist Atlanta returned to work at Bethel Baptist Church in Billings, Montana and we were able to join them this year. A church plant in South Billings merged with a dying church and inherited an older building. The church is in a low income area of town with a higher crime rate than the rest of the city. Every Sunday morning they serve a continental style breakfast before the church service begins. They needed a better set up for this. We tore out the old area and built a new café area. We also replaced lighting in the sanctuary and kitchen, replaced several toilets, repainted the kitchen, and did maintenance to and stained the playground the team built last year. The building will now be able to better serve the needs of the church in reaching their community.
One major bonus of our time in Billings was watching the Blue Angels practice for an upcoming air show. We also took an afternoon and toured Red Lodge Montana.

The first ever Rodeo Bible Camp in Rigby, Idaho saw 41 kids between the ages of 11 and 17 attending. They were taught various rodeo skills at clinics throughout the day. In addition, they had chapel twice daily and devotions in the morning and evening led by counselors. The chapels taught through the book of Colossians. Several of the kids decided to publicly proclaim their faith in Jesus by following Him in baptism. On Saturday evening, they were baptized along with some siblings, one father, and one of the camp leaders. Sunday morning saw the final church service, the rodeo, and the awards ceremony; all of which were well attended. We are praising the Lord for His work in Rigby!
