I was joking with one of the tour guides, a believer, and told him that I felt like God was calling me to plant a church in St. Lucia. He was completely stone-faced when he replied, "Don't do it. You Americans never hack it over here. You like the resorts too much and get scared when you see the real needs." Kind of sobering. It takes a special kind of person/people to go to an environment like that. But Fellowship will do well in Miami. My wife and I honeymooned in St. Lucia (2 years ago today, actually).

We look forward to having you in our area. We had heard whisperings that they might do this a few years ago, but not much talk lately. Welcome to South Florida Fellowship!

The first was at Flamingo Road. The second was at 1st Baptist South Miami. I was lost in the crowd at Flamingo Road's incredible facility. At FBC South Miami, I was one of about 12-15 lead pastors. The conference was still great. I sat on the front row and was a prop for Ed's seminar. At one point, Ed Young made mention of lame pink walls...while surrounded by pink walls. FBC South Miami looked like it got hit by a 1980's interior designer with big hair and neon leggings. The conference in that venue didn't make sense. Anyway, at the first break, I told some from our group that the only reason I could think of for that venue was that they would be opening a Fellowship location in that church. Three days later I got a call from another pastor asking if I had heard anything about it. Well, very cool! I'm excited. The largest English speaking church in Miami (that I know of) is Christ Fellowship. I think they have around 3,000 people. In a town of 3-4,000,000, that isn't much. There is much work to be done and much opportunity for ministry in this incredible city. Kudos to Ed Young for having big vision. Mad props to all the pastors in Miami that work in a challenging environment and love this city in a big way! Tony, I was at the last two regional C3 conferences in Miami.
