Members of Rocky Mount Baptist Church share their thoughts and experiences from recent Missions trips. Susan Lynch's Thoughts on Her Missions Trip to Nicaragua I came to missions backwards. I knew that I was missing something in my life, but tried to save myself by helping others. My first trip last fall left me even more broken because we only touched people for a few short minutes and left them. It wasn’t until I accepted Jesus as my savior that I realized He is theirs too.
