Montana is known as Big Sky Country. Spending time there, it’s easy to understand why.
The land is adorned with open pastures and rolling hills. You can see for miles around. Wildlife like bison, antelope, and elk roam the fields. There always seem to be snow capped mountains on every horizon. It’s like stepping into a postcard.
Awash in natural beauty, Montana is obvious evidence of God’s handiwork. Yet, more than 85% of those who live in Montana don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus.
That’s why 29 creative missionaries from across the country gathered in Bozeman, Mont., for a week. Their goal was to create sustainable communication and media solutions for under-resourced local churches.
