Pastor Bill DeMaere (Cowboy Preacher Bill) and his wife Audrey
In 1997 Cowboy Preacher Bill sat down with Jordan Echoes over a cup of coffee in a Humpty's resturaunt one evening and together they came up with plans for the annual "Deer Valley Meadows Country Gospel Jamboree" that still takes place every June. They also started a Cowboy Church at the church where Cowboy Preacher Bill was the Pastor. It began with a handful of people in attendance but steadily grew each month until they had to move to a larger facility. Another ministry of Pastor Bill's was the "Country Gospel Rodeo Fellowship" where he would go from rodeo to rodeo to share the word of God in a way that would relate to the cowboys. Jordan Echoes went with him many, many times to provide musical encouragement.
