BREAKING NEWS HERE IN MONTANA
5 Christian Missionaries have been assaulted and then arrested near Ennis Montana.
Pastor and missionary Jesse Boyd has been walking across the United States carrying a small cross and at times an upside down American flag (America is in distress).
Jesse's 18 year old daughter Bethany Boyd, 12 year old son Josiah Boyd, and two other Christian brothers, Eric Trent and Carter Phillips, were traveling between West Yellowstone Montana and Ennis Montana Saturday, when a local rancher pulled his truck in front of a vehicle driven by Carter and Bethany who were just a short distance ahead of the others who were walking. The rancher got out of his vehicle yelling insults and telling them that they weren't welcome in Montana and to leave. As Jesse and the others approached the vehicle, the rancher had become very confrontational and even threatening. The situation quickly escalated as Jesse and the others walked up to the parked vehicles. The rancher attacked Jesse pushing him into the truck and then knocking Jesse to the ground and proceeding to sit on top of him, knocking Jesse's glasses off, breaking them and hitting Jesse.
During the scuffle Jesse's leg was cut, drawing blood.
I should note that the rancher didn't have to stop and could have just kept driving. Instead, the rancher stopped and initiated confrontation. The missionaries only acted in total self defense.
Jesse was able to get free and he and the others got into the vehicle, called 911 and waited just a couple hundred feet up the road away from the rancher.
The Madison county sheriff's department arrived, told them to wait right there till they talked to the rancher, and after a brief talk with the rancher, several armed officers returned with guns drawn, ordering them out of the vehicle at gun point and placing them all face down into the snow, handcuffing and arresting Jesse, Bethany, Carter and Eric on felony assault charges. Josiah was placed in the custody of CPS foster care. All have been held since, without bond. Their first court appearance will be via video and will be tomorrow morning between jail to the Madison county courthouse at 9am Nov.15, 2022.
Madison county doesn't have a jail so Eric is being held in Jefferson county jail, Jesse and Carter are being held in Gallatin county jail and Bethany is being held in the women's facility in Gallatin county.
Jesse has walked over 5,400 miles within this last year, handing out Bibles preaching the gospel and being a servant of God, not one of these missionaries have had any such previous encounters. They have always been peaceful, teaching all who are willing to hear.
This is an assault on religious freedom and an assault on the first amendment of the United States constitution.
I'll be attending the court hearing tomorrow morning in Madison county at 9 AM and will try to give a full update.
How can you help? What things do these missionaries need?
Their vehicle has been impounded. They will need lawyers, and bond once bail is set.
Pray for them as they sit in bonds, pray for their families at home, pray for justice and for their quick release.
Check out their ministry website, and share their story far and wide.
