After speaking at 11 services live this weekend, my voice is tired
but not my fingers… so while I can’t shout with Joy with my lips, I
will let my fingers do the shouting!
Wow, what a great weekend! I’m so proud of our Flamingo family. It
was an amazing Easter weekend! Just a few of the things God did this
weekend…And remember it was a SPRING BREAK weekend!
32 Services
18,700 people attended
632 folks were baptized
955 people walked an isle to Trust CHRIST
Still waiting on the total giving but somewhere around $300,000
For those of us who call Flamingo home, you know exactly how important
each one of those numbers are. Each number represents a life. A life
that we have prayed for, a life that we have fasted for, and NOW a life
that we can CELEBRATE!
We launched a brand new campus this weekend in Pensacola. So cool to have you guys in the north as part of the family.
P’cola this weekend:
Around 5000 @ the egg hunt
370 people attended
17 Baptized
15 trusted Christ
A special shout out to Cooper City campus for
hosting 10 services this weekend. We had people that served from 8 AM
until 7 PM and then went to work on Monday morning. That is INSPIRING!
Hallandale Campus had its first Good Friday service
with a packed house and broke through 1000 for the first time! So
proud of how God is using Flamingo in this part of town.
Doral campus launched a Spanish speaking service on
Easter, and is the campus we will launch other campuses from to impact
all of Dade County. There are some church leaders who have given up on
South Florida and especially Dade county, but NOT FRC… we will share
the good news!
Sawgrass Campus broke through 400 and had an amazing
egg hunt right there in the Regal Cinema on Saturday morning. Great
creativity, which is part of our Ethos. All of this, and Matt &
Jenn ( our campus pastors) are expecting twins this week. Proud of you
guys!
Lima Campus is exploding and taking it to a brand new
level. Easter may well be what helps them break through 600 on a weekly
basis. If you haven’t been on a mission trip you need to visit Peru
this summer. What a beautiful country filled with opportunity to share
the love of Christ
Internet Campus had a break through weekend and more
than doubled its attendance from last year… and we count very
conservative when it comes to this campus. People from around the world
not only worshiped with us, but also some jumped on planes or in their
cars and were a part of the beach baptism.
I’m so thankful for all that God is doing in our midst. Today is a day
of CELEBRATION! Tomorrow, the work continues. There is still so much
to do, so many hurting people who have never experienced the Good
News! There are some important decisions ahead, and I would appreciate
your prayers as we run after the vision that God has given us!
Steph and I love you guys and are so proud to be doing life with you.
Thank you for loving your family and friends enough to invite them to
Easter services. Thank you for serving. At every campus we had people
step up and HELP in so many different and important ways.
You are our family, and Flamingo is our home. Let’s change the world…
really, lets run after something so BIG that will NOT be accomplished
without the intervention of GOD.
Love You guys,
Troy, Steph, Tyler, Carson, Baylee & our little dog “Toby”
