Cowboy Ministries

My name is Steven Shipley and I am married to a wonderful singer named Farrah Shipley. Our ministry is based on Romans 8:38-39. Our intention is to tear down the walls that people have built to keep them "safe." People that are saved (and not saved) do not think that God cares about their little issues. They also have sins that they try to protect from God. Women build walls to parts of their heart to protect them from being hurt again or past pain that they try to shove in a box and do not really confront. Men shove emotions down untill we explode. We build layers of walls because as men we are just supposed to take it and move on. Divorced couples bring in pain and hurt from past marriages and it destroies the current marriage.

We would love the oppertunity to come to your church and do a conferance or just a Sunday morning. God has blessed us through all of the circumstances that I talked about before and we wnat others to feel the freedom that God has given us.

For more information call me at 806-445-7183 or email me at nofencesministry@gmail.com.

May God bless you daily and praise Him hourly!!

Pastors Steven and Farrah Shipley

Hey Charles - I from Lindale, Texas.........many moons ago.  My folks still live there.  I haven't been back for many moons now.  Welcome.

Southern Traditions is comprised of Nashville Recording Artists, singer/song writers Dave Baker and Rose Mullins. Southern Traditions is eager to spread the gospel through music and message.  We love telling the story of Jesus with the talents he has blessed us with.  It is our joy and privilege to perform wherever asked. We have a variety of programs available. With a variety of offerings to choose from, we're sure you'll be happy working with us. Look around our website and let us know if you have any comments or questions.  Please feel free to contact us to schedule Southern Traditions for your next event.    We can't wait to be there!

 Howdy pards!

Some of y'all already know me, some don't yet...I'm aimin 'ta correct that oversight purty quick :-) I'm Buck Helton, aka Buck"The Big Man" from Dallas (don't hold that against me, I just happened to be born here!) I wear a number of 10 Gallon hats, including Singing Cowboy, Cowboy Poet and Humorist, Emcee, Yodeler, columnist, and Western Musicologist.

 I do traditional Cowboy Music, along with the history and stories behind the songs, both traditional favorites, and Western Gospel. You can bring your wife, grandma, and 5 year old. None will be embarassed, and all will be entertained and edumacated at the same time. I'm booking now for 2012 and would love to come pass a visit on your Church or Event. Whetehr it's family entertainment for a Cookout or Western Festival or special music for a service, or you'd like a concert of Traditional Cowboy songs, and Gospel together, I'm jest a-waitin 'fer you to send me a note by the pon-e mail express :-)

 There's a few songs posted here to give you some idea, and there's also my website Buckthebigman.com with more song samples. I've got a mess of videos up on youtube as well.

We hit the road Nov. 3rd. for our Kansas tour of five cowboy churches and a concert at the Prarrie Rose Theater in Benton, Kansas and as we pack the bus I am reminded that December Christmas Shows will end this season of performances for my ministry and we will have January and Feb. off to start booking next year.

If you would like to get your church on our 2012 schedule please contact me at 417-725-0401 or e-mail circlescowboypreacher@netzero.com

Howdy everyone, I haven't logged on here in a while. I use facebook for all our fans but this site is for fellow singers and musicians where we can share our heart. We all have one thing in common: to try to sing and tell others about God's love through music.

Since we are sharing our hearts, there is nothing more fulfilling than  to be at a church, prison, or nursing home and feel God's presence and blessings.

It is always such a blessing to travel and sing, where folks enjoy hearing the word of the Lord through song. It is equally a blessing to hear from a person almost a year later thanking you for a song that has touched their lives. The Lord always seems to send the words of encouragement as we pull out the booking schedule. Now that we are at the end of 2011 we are very focused on 2012.  We are filled with excitement as we wonder where the Lord is going to have us go. We are already praying for the people we will meet this coming year, and to be reunited with others we have met already.

If you know of a church,  group, organization, event,  or anyone who would be willing to host a home concert please let us know, or pass along our info to them.

We are setting up our 2012 concert calendar. If you would like to have your church or event placed on our calendar contact Jeff or Becki at 830-220-0632.

I work with my wife Jan Flegle, RN.  She does women's retreats and seminars.  Jan has lost 130 lbs this year.  She tells women how to take care of their "temple."  She has a new cookbook out.  In addition to her weight loss and weight management sessions she has breakouts on couponing, completing your education, virtual jobs, skin care, hair styling and more...For questions and to check Jan's schedule please contact me.  Dr. Larry Flegle - lflegle@windstream.net

Hey Ya'll! I am Pastor Randy with Turning Point Cowboy Ministries. We hold meetings at the local arena her in Bartow, Florida. I sing a song or two and then present the word. Sometimes I use my horse (Blackfoot) to help make my point. After the service folks are free to ride in the arena, hang out and fellowship, or just watch the kids run  and play. We are not new to ministry, but new to Cowboy Church. Our services are still new to Bartow, but we are growing. So, keep us in prayer. Blessings to you all.  

Great Ministry Randy...We welcome you to ICCAN...great to get to know you and Turning Point....You should feel right at home here...many blessings to ya...Bro. Steven

My husband has been singing for years but last November myself and my 15 year old son joined with him to form the family trio "The Jamersons". We still work full time but travel as much as a full time ministry on the weekends. We believe the time is getting very close for the Lord to release us and put us on the road full time to serve him. I believe he is preparing us and it won't be long. I can feel it in my spirit it is right around the corner. We look forward to being with some of you soon. We are hoping to be at the Round Up in Lithia, Fl, we have my family reunion down in Plant City, Fl the same weekend so we may be able to make it. Hope to see you there. God Bless.

Hi Gals and Guys!  My name is Elaine Averill.  I have Unbridled Faith Farm in Blanchardville, WI.  It' a learning, training, and retreat center based on the Faith Based Equine Assisted Philosophy (experiential learning from the Truth that God placed within the horse, they teach us something about ourselves, God, and others whenever we are with them).  I also work with women and teen girls; helping to develop the gifts, talents, and Dreams that God put inside of them.  I also do inspirational speaking... My gift is to encourage the body to RUN THE RACE THAT HAS BEEN SET BEFORE THEM, and to use the things that come to stop them TO PROPEL THEM TO VICTORY IN CHRIST!  This is our time, this is our race, God has one finish in mind for us... VICTORY!  What other race can you run that promises ALL CAN WIN!?  My father was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given months to live.  I prayed that my father would come to know that God loved him...  The day after the diagnosis he knocked on my door, declaring "Let's go buy the next Breeders Cup Winner?!"  At Churchill Downs a year later a man of God said to my dad, "What are the chances a guy like you could win this race?" (That day she won the Pocahontis Stakes)  and as he was walking away, he turned back to my father and prophesied... "When you win the Breeders Cup this year, YOU WILL KNOW THAT GOD LOVES YOU!"  My father and his mare, Unbridled Elaine, won the Breeders Cup Dystaff that year.  My father called me after the race... I asked him..."So what do you think the odds were for a guy like you could win the Breeders Cup?"... with tears in his voice he said, "I GUESS GOD LOVES ME!"  The impossible made possible the miraculous!  A little girls prayer was answered.  A dieing man gains eternal life.  The long shot became a Champion.  God was exaulted. HIS STORY was made.  I live to proclain the glory of God!

You can see more at www.unbridledfaith.com

Thanks so much Elaine! Good timing for me

God has brought me from a time of sin, shame & disgrace and where I was told I couldn't sing in God's house. Told to get out of the ministry. All because of my divorce.  God has prove them wrong!! 

Seeking to expand ministry to cowboy churches & more. To reach others who the tradional church has shun & cast away!  I want to point them to Jesus Christ!   He is reason I'm in this minstry!!  Praise God!! www.jimsheldonmusic.com

Howdy Jim.....Please allow me to encourage you in your ministry...it matters very little what the world may think when you feel sure you are called to serve....there need be only one influence upon your life and that is the Spirit of the Lord....Bro. Steven

Thank you for your encounragement. I am firmly anchored to Jesus Christ!

As a Professional Christian Country singer, I praise the lord for such a wonderful group of fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. I am looking forward to sharing the love of Jesus with you all. May God Bless each of you.

My name is Trish Maddox.  I am the worship leader for Triple Crown Cowboy Church.  We are always welcoming those to come and minister with us whose hearts are set on serving the Lord.  I joined ICCAN recently.   

We have been up and running about 3 years now and we are a small congregation that is growing.  We are centered around outreaching in our community.  During the summer/warmer months, we meet in a local park in Frankfort in a pavilion.  We are afforded the opportunity to reach those where softball games are going on, people are jogging, and kids are playing on the playground.  It allows the gospel to be given to those who are not even aware that they need Jesus Christ.  Some will stop and listen just out of curiosity and sometimes, the Lord will have a word just specifically for them that night and they didn’t even know they were needing it.  God always shows Himself in spades.   We are just on fire for the Lord and although we are not lavished with a lot monetarily, God meets every need we have to carry out the Gospel as He sends us to do it.  We offer a ‘come as you are’ environment and just love you no matter where you are from!  There will always be no strings attached except the ones attached to our hearts as God brings those that need Him into our family.  In fact we target those areas where there are people that society has forgotten or thrown to the side for whatever reason!  We WANT them and we WILL LOVE them.  Our winter months this year has been centered in downtown Frankfort where there are many many disadvantages and the people are just hungry for something but they don't know what.  WE KNOW, it's Jesus and that's all we want to give them.  I love serving the Lord and I love this journey He has placed me on.  Just a little bit about my place in this ministry as God pours Himself out in this Latter Rain!  May God bless you all richly!  ~~Trish 

Patricia, I am so excited about being with Triple Crown in Sept. The opportunity to uplift Jesus Christ through the message in song, thrills m heart. One more opportunity to reach a lost soul, to touch a broken heart or reach someone that feels that have no hope. God Bless You so Much and I will see you in Sept. Ron

Patricia Maddox,  I look forward to being at Triple Crown Cowboy Church in Frankfort, KY in June. Thanks for you interest in my ministry and allow me come minister with you for the cause of Christ!!

God Bless!

This week we sing at the Clairmont retirement home, Randall county jail, Jan Werner adult day care, and faith city mission. Some say this is giving back or paying your dues. We call it a joy just to see the smiles and hear them singing along. Blessings don't get better than this. We have been to several churches that are not as Spirit filled.
What a blessing it is to serve the Lord and do so with my best friend and wife.

Hey, how's everybody doing today? My name is Bill and while I am not directly involved in a ministry, I am growing in the Lord. I don't rope and I don't ride, but in the words of the late Chris LeDoux, "My roundup's at a truckstop, my trail's a superslab, I wear boots up in the saddle of my 18 wheeler cab....." I have been feeling a pull lately and and I would like to ask you all to pray for me, that God direct my path and I follow his directions. God bless you 

We really enjoy ICCAN and all it does. Would love to come and minister were evere the Lord leads us.  We have only been able to produce 4 projects. Kathy has written enough songs to make alot more. She will never be able to record them all so if your looking for some good country gospel songs give us a call gentlehearts@sbcglobal.net  Dan EVP CGMA

I have been an evangelist for quite a while....seeing souls saved and lives changed is my goal.  It has been awesome to see how God uses every part of my life to minister.  He has given me the opportunity to write songs and sing for His glory.  I have been a youth pastor, worked children's church, taught all age groups, including adults, had bible study in my home and ministered in Ladies ministeries....anything I can get my hands into, I will use it for the Lord....no matter what God wants me to do, I will obey.  I am going to put some of my songs on here, but I am not sure just how.  I love blue grass, old fashion country gospel and southern gospel...but to be truthful...any kind of music that God puts into my ears, blesses me and I can sing almost any kind.  It's a miracle just how much God has use me and I never want to stop.  God Bless you all and if you ever need a singer or evangelist, just give me a call, I will be there..

can anybody tell me how to send mp3 songs to the radio stations?  I have not figured it out,yet and I have some to share. 

We are new to ICCAN... but I am honored to be a part!  God bless to y'all!

Hello my name is Beverly K. Crocker. I am new to ICCAN. I've been ministering for about 12 years now. I began my ministry as lead vocalist for Walking by Faith (trio out of Waco, Texas). However, about a year ago the alto for the group was diagnosed with Light Strain Myeloma. Well right now she is in remission (praise God), but unable to travel, due to kidney failure. So please keep her in prayer. Her name is DeeDee Black. Anyway since the trio disbanded, I'm now reaching out has a soloist. God has been real gracious with His blessings. I am a artist/minister of music with Tate Music Group. My debut album just released May 28, 2013. Now this is where my ministry is, everything I do is for the glory and honor of our Heavenly Father. My only hope is that each of us in the ministry can reach as many souls that can be reached before the return of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope some day I get to meet you and/or minister with you. Blessings, Bev

COWBOY COUNTRY MINISTRIES is a full-time registered music/evangelistic ministry which not only promotes me, John Paul Aaron, but also helps promote other gospel music artists for the cause and promotion of Christ to others.

I do feel it's all of our jobs as "Believers" to be able to be a witness to others as well as always being ready, willing and able to lead anyone to Christ through the plan of salvation. 

Also the gifts and the talents we have are not inherited from our birth but are "God given". 

I use the Word of God not only through song but in message. I also deal with a lot of folks needing pray, in the hospital, needing spiritual and uplifting counseling.  As a former pastor, I do conduct wedding ceremonies as well as funerals.  I also try to help gospel artist's and ministries with their websites, computer needs and short run cd duplication. 

Thanks for having me here. I love the work of God, and we ride for Jesus.  We ride iron horses "Motorcycle's", and Horses when we can.I grew up riding Horses and hope to have a few horses again one day. We try to reach people that others have given up on. Again Thanks for having me here and praise God.

Hello Everyone!  We are looking forward to meeting all of our friends and family at the ICCAN Roundup this week! Wow It's almost here. I just want to announce to the group that we know have a website for Among Friends Cowboy Ministries at www.amongfriendscowboyministries.com .  We are excited about our new website,  Please feel free to check us out and leave your comments.  We would love to hear from you all. see you soon. Gene and Pam

Jesus saves...point blank. But God gives us the choice to take Him into our hearts. It should be the mission of those of us who already have Him in our hearts to get out there and spread the message of His Love, Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness to those who do not know His name or know Him. May we all always be in prayer for one another. Let's get out there and remind this world Who Created and loves it and them <3 Be blessed and be a blessing y'all :)

Thanks for accepting me into ICCAN. I love spreading the good news of my Lord and savior through my music ministry. All my songs  tell where you might be and where God can bring you . The song Take my Hand is a true testimony song. I hope my testimony will help other people. I ride an Iron horse and I ride with a group called Road Riders for Jesus. My hash tag is #outlaw saved by grace. If was not for the grace of God I don't know where I would be today. I hope my music is a blessing to other people
