Missions at Rock Springs
|
At Rock Springs Baptist Church, we
firmly believe in the importance of
missions work. Even more than that, we
firmly support members of our
congregation who become involved in
missions work, whether part-time or
full-time. In the past we have had
several members travel abroad for
part-time missions work.
Lauren Sellers
Tuesday March 6, 2018
Lauren Sellers went on a mission trip
to London. Lauren said on this trip God used her even
though she was timid and anxious. There she met a Muslim
man sitting on the street. Through listening to Lauren,
the hardships of his life began to change and his heart
softened. Through the Holy Spirit she learned how to
break down barriers and misunderstandings in both his
life and hers. God still shows up no matter how weak and
timid we may be. Lauren says never limit God and put Him
in a box. His love covers multitudes.
Randy Best and Amanda Mann
Randy Best and Amanda Mann were both able to visit Kosovo in 1999 to help rebuild the damage from the Serbian conflict. The sights they saw were not pretty, and the work they did was hard, but God used this opportunity to light a new fire in both their lives for Jesus and the work of the Gospel.
Ben and Rachel Best
Randy's daughter, Rachel, and
her grandfather Ben Best were
also able to visit Honduras in
2000 as part of a church
construction team.
Karma Shuford
Karma Shuford has had the
opportunity to travel on several
mission trips in her life, with
two of those while she has been
at Rock Springs Baptist Church.
She visited Honduras for a week
in support of a church
construction team in 1998, then
traveled to Russia for two weeks
with Josh McDowell Ministries to
visit orphanages and hospitals
as part of operation Carelift
2000. Both these trips have
great memories for her of the
wonderful things God can do.
Marty and Jeremy Best
Marty and Jeremy Best, a father and son team from Rock Springs Baptist Church, visited Honduras in March 2001 as part of a church construction team from Haywood County churches. They worked with the team that built the church pews and did finish work on the building.
Their trip was hugely exciting, and they both enjoyed themselves thoroughly. But the fun was not what the trip was really about. When asked if he would go back, Jeremy's immediate response was "Yes!" This is a teenage boy who is excited about what he was able to do in the name of Jesus Christ.
Honduras is an extremely poor country, but the Christian community there is alive and growing. Jeremy says that probably 80 people crowded into a church they visited, even though there were no pews and the floor was dirt. What a revelation for those of us who are so accustomed to padded seats and air conditioning.
Rock Springs Baptist
Church wants to thank all these missionaries for their personal sacrifice to perform this mission work, and we pray God will continue to use all of you mightily.
