Here we go... this is a Start...

I created my blog two years ago, then I lost it... I created it again on Jan 07, but I'm being so busy (At least is what I tell to myself) but now I'm decided to go for it...

Being a Campus Pastor at Flamingoroad has been a really challenging experience. It was on the middle of the last year when Troy Gramling dreamed about the possibility to reach people outside the walls... It had opened a few off-site campuses but needed another way to reach the community – the question arose, “What if Flamingo Road Church was available to everyone worldwide? What if didn’t matter where people lived? What if God would allow us to be one church where they are on a global scale?”

What started as a question became reality. Work began on a website that would allow people to experience church in every aspect. This wouldn’t just be a website on church; this would be a church IN a website. A real campus where people would hear the worship…take virtual notes…listen and watch Pastor Troy…turn in communication card… all while living in different parts of the country. Hard work continued and by the early part of 2006…the internet campus was ready for testing. Anxiously…the first feed was turned on from the Cooper City campus and a single family in North Carolina turned on their computer. For the first time in its history, FRC had people worshipping live…in a different state. God had just begun… By November of that year…the internet campus had grown to include people from all over North America, Europe, Asia, and Central and South America. Communication cards flooded in thanking Flamingo Road for making the church available for those that had moved or were looking for a fresh way to connect with God.

On 02-17-07, we officially launch the http://www.frclive.tv/ website with several features and since then, it has been growing every week. Last weekend, 1058 people connected to Flamingo Road and make up the global campus. Improvements are made weekly to connection speed and functionality so that all those that call the Flamingo Road Church Internet Campus home experience the best.

With over 3 million people on the internet at any given time, technology constantly improving…the potential for the internet campus is incredible… as across the world, its helping people reach their God potential.

Truth or dare?

One of the things that is surprising to me today, is the low value that many people assign to their own promises. Teenagers don't believe their parents, because they never fulfill their promises; Couples say "I'll stand by you forever" and few months later they walk on the opposite direction; politicians make promises to earn votes, and once the election is done, they forgot about it. I remember one of the first things I learned from my grandmother it was the value of my word. "A gentleman always fulfill his promises, a man with no word has no honor" and I learned to live by that principle. Few weeks ago, I was having a discussion with one of the leaders on the youth ministry at Flamingo Road Church about some technical difficulties we were experiencing during the broadcasting of our Student Service online, and I challenged him to fix the failures, so if he would complete the task with no errors, I will do my hair like him... (He had a Mohawk haircut with ...

My greatest blessing.

9 years ago, I was having the most difficult time in my entire life. After a complete breakdown, I was ready to take my life on my own hands and God showed me his mercy and I knew for sure there was a real God. I remember my first kind of prayer was “All right, I understood. You want me to stay… I’ll stay here, but I don’t know what to do with my life… please show me the way, because I’m lost. Show me the path you want me to follow and I’ll do it. You want me to stay on this life, please, show me the way”. That was my first prayer… and the answer came to me. Few days later, He sent me an Angel on a shape of a woman. Some one with great patience, love and understanding that took care of that task and wisely she guided me to Christ, not inviting me to church or talking to me about Jesus, or judging me for my past actions… she just accepted me like I was… and prayed for me. Instead, she showed me Jesus on her daily actions, until finally I found Christ! My life was completely changed, tra...
