Pastor Lynn Holmes rides into town to talk about the newest Cowboy Church congregation, Houston Levee Cowboy Church, an outreach of Calvary Church. Cowboy Church began in America in 1972. In 1972 Glenn Smith, a professional rodeo clown, sold everything and entered full time ministry along with his wife following God’s call to bring the gospel to the rodeo and bull riding circuits. In 1990, Harry Yates and Joanne Cash (Johnny Cash's daughter) started a Nashville Cowboy Church in the seat of country music. It is believed that today there are some 5,000 cowboy churches nation wide.
