VOICED: American churches hit the road

Pastor J Avante leads services at the Milltown Cowboy Church in Florida, incorporating cowboy culture into religious practices. Services were moved to Wednesdays to accommodate rodeo schedules, initially attracting 38 attendees. Prayers for animals, like a sick horse, are common, reflecting the community's bond with their animals. Cowboy churches, part of a network across North America, often hold baptisms in cattle troughs and encourage western attire. Linda Yorks, a rodeo competitor, appreciates the church's down-to-earth atmosphere. The church is multi-denominational and has seen a steady increase in attendance.
