Why I am a Miami Baptist? Because I live in Miami and because I am a member of a Southern Baptist Church. First of all, God called me to live and minister in Miami, Florida.  I know many people who are only passing through this city. They don’t like it, and they are trying to leave.  However, they are here, and it would seem to me that God has placed us all here for the time being.  So, why we are here, we should be His witnesses. Jeremiah 29:7 states, “Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it,        cause   if it prospers, you too will prosper."
