Pastor Mike Eason heart sank as he pulled up to the gate and saw half the roof in a tangled mess. The arena has been open for 10 years now and has been used to hold events for the Sulphur Springs community and for the last seven years it has been home for the Elite Youth Rodeo Association. Trees are littered across the property and pieces of their buildings are among the horses. The church already had to cancel a rodeo event but they aren\u2019t letting this setback stop their momentum.<\/p>\n
The community is already showing up in big ways with calls and texts checking in on the church.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy heart was broken yesterday no doubt, but the calls and the texts were amazing, so I\u2019ve always been proud to be a part of this community, and I\u2019ve always wanted to do my part here as well, so it\u2019s a blessing to be here,\u201d Eason said.<\/p>\n
According to our news partner, KETK, every arena in the area is making sure the rodeo season can finish for the Cross Spur Cowboy church by offering their properties.<\/p>\n
Now the cowboy church is looking to start the clean up and rebuilding process, but it won\u2019t be a quick process. Arenas in the area are also stepping up to make sure the rodeo season can finish on a good note.<\/p>\n
\u201cNever know how your day can change, and it can, it can change in a twinkle of an eye, I just I thank my good lord above for his blessings upon us and he will prevail,\u201d Eason said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
