Miami Missions Trip
A New Church Plant Helping a New
Church Plant
By Bob Larson, USA Director, Baptist International Missions, Inc.

It was our privilege to help coordinate
and to participate in a USA missions trip
in mid-February. Open Door Baptist
Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
contacted us early in 2022. This new
church was interested in taking their
first ever missions trip. We contacted
Life Baptist Church in Miami,
Florida, which is also a new church
plant, about the possibility of a group
coming to help them do evangelism
and canvassing in the Miami area. The
dates were set and Reseeding America
provided door hangers for canvassing
and funding for water bottle labels for
a park ministry that the group would
also be able to conduct while in Miami. Our ministry arranged housing for the
group from Philadelphia by renting a large Airbnb facility in Miami. It was a fast-
moving trip, but God did an amazing work in all our hearts as we presented the
Gospel to the community and encouraged a new church plant, a church planter,
and his family. Luis Briceno, pastor of Life Baptist Church, was a real blessing
and help to the group from Philadelphia as he and his family
worked alongside us and shared many things concerning their
ministry. Pastor Briceno also did an excellent job of helping us
understand the culture of the metro
Miami area. Pastor Joe Delp, who
pastors Open Door Baptist Church
in Philadelphia, later shared with us
that his missions team came home
excited about what they were able to
do in Miami and they want to take
another missions trip soon!
