With Miami being rated the 4th rudest city in the U.S. coupled with the obvious crime statistics and taking into account the Rants and Raves section on Miami's craigslist, we can only imagine that the people of Miami are a little off-standish. They are a little hard hearted and they just don't trust others. So, when a "religious" group comes in, they are naturally skeptical. Our plan is to break through these barriers by serving Miamians boldly. In 2 Timothy 1:7 Paul tells Timothy (and us)
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but
of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
I know, I know, the sound mind part might be where we are a little off track, but, think about the 1.8 million non-church going people in Miami. You'd have to be crazy to think you can make a difference in the lives of that many people. But, God has given us the spirit of power and the spirit of love. We are going to break down the barriers with bold and powerful love. Starting with the ones that don't have anything to give back, the poor, the hungry, the homeless. We are going to love them boldly until the walls come down.
