Over the Fourth of July weekend 2010, Southeastern staffers Lauren Crane, Kelly Jo and Jon Rice joined the pastors of Cornerstone Community Fellowship in Livingston, Montana. They wrote stories, took pictures and shot video as pastors Paul Seddon and Cody Wood - both Southeastern grads - served the people of Livingston and guests of the annual Livingston Roundup. Also joining Cornerstone for the week were Southeastern President Daniel Akin and his wife, Charlotte, who went to Montana to serve Paul and Cody and minister on the front lines of Great Commission work.
