They say God works in mysterious ways and that was exactly the case when God brought two stranger cowboys on opposites sides of the U.S.-Mexico border together to bring His Word to unchurched cowboys in Mexico.

Andy Hill, a missionary with the Southern Baptist International Mission Board, initially shunned the idea of reaching out to the 'vaqueros' - or Mexican cowboys - in the Mexican border town of Agua Prieta where he was stationed.

"I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer," Andy joked, who really tried to push the thought out of his head of any mission work among the cowboys.

"I thought, 'Wait a minute. That sounds like too much fun'," he says. "I was afraid it was too much my idea and not enough God's."

When Andy and his wife, Lori, arrived in the town four years ago as new missionaries, two things immediately stood out: the deep-rooted cowboy identity and the lack of outreach by local Christian groups among the cowboys.
