The Florida Conference Lay Institute for Evangelism (FCLIFE) is advancing the mission of the Church by promoting total member involvement through training and strategic outreach. Now in its third year, FCLIFE was created to guide believers who are faithful to Kingdom growth and equip them with discipleship and evangelistic principles they can use in their communities.
This year, regional sessions were held at Miami Temple, Tampa First, and Spring Meadows, drawing enthusiastic participation from pastors, church leaders, and hundreds of participants. The 2025 curriculum focused on public evangelism, personal discipleship, and church unity. However, FCLIFE extends beyond training sessions; its strength comes from how it is implemented. Participants are equipped to understand and live out discipleship principles, and resources are provided to support personal and public evangelistic efforts.
A key component of FCLIFE is the coordination of regional public evangelism campaigns each fall. Last October, five churches in Broward County — Lauderhill, Eliatha (Tamarac), Royal Palm, Saving Grace (Hollywood), and Ambassador (Lauderdale Lakes) — collaborated to host Glen O. Samuels, president of the West Jamaica Conference, at Ambassador Church. The meetings culminated in 87 baptisms.
Another fruitful evangelistic series occurred last October at Palm Springs Church in West Palm Beach. The congregation hosted Shion O’Connor, Ph.D., from the Cayman Islands. Omar Palmer, pastor of Palm Springs, spoke enthusiastically about the sense of spiritual revival in the church and the 34 baptisms resulting from this effort. “This may have set a new record for the church,” he said.
Evangelistic efforts are planned for this fall, with Florida Conference leaders, pastors, and lay members joining together to preach and further the Gospel message. FCLIFE is mobilizing the church through training, equipping, and sending, to fulfill the Great Commission.
