Christian Cowboy Fellowship
Cleveland, Texas
Brother Bobby was born in Houston, Texas and grew up in the Aldine area.
At the age of 11, he started rodeoing & riding bulls. He still has a love of rodeo but today his sport is mainly team roping.
When he was 18, he met Nora, and in October of 1983 they were married. They have one daughter at home, Victoria, who is 9 years old, an older son, Kenny Ray Trayal and an older daughter, Kristen Trayal Smith.
In 1991, Brother Bobby was called to the ministry, but did not totally surrender to preach until May of 2001. God dealt with him for many years, molding him and getting his full attention. Once Brother Bobby got his life on God's path, he jumped right into the ministry. In 2001 Christian Cowboy Fellowship was begun.
The church began May 19, 2001, with 18 people meeting in a barn. After church they would fellowship and practice team roping. With continued growth, they moved into a rented building in Cleveland, Texas. They soon purchased land and began a building program, and in February of 2005, the church moved to its current location. Still expanding, the church added on to the building for Sunday School & Youth space in 2007. An arena has been built too & is being used to bring souls to Jesus. A larger sanctuary has just opened in March of 2011 and we are meeting in it now. God is truly blessing His work here & to God goes all the credit!
Brother Bobby says our main vision is to reach the country folk, cowboys, cowgirls & all the western world for the Lord. Also, we want to the make disciples who can grow and serve God by reaching others for the Lord.
