Spring Break 2001 Missions Trip
 
In early March, seven students from the Baptist Student Union at UNC Greensboro spent their Spring Break in Tarboro.  Why?  In September of 1999, Hurricane Floyd came through North Carolina, causing catostophic flooding in areas such as Tarboro, Princeville, Grifton, Rocky Mount, Greenville, Kinston, Goldsboro and other towns in the eastern part of our state.  Even before the hurricane made landfall, Baptists were busing helping the victims through the Disaster Relief Ministry of the North Carolina Baptist Men.  A year and a half later, we're still there, helping those affected rebuild their homes and lives.  We first went to Tarboro in March 2000 for a week of reconstructing.  Going back to be involved in this dynamic ministry was an easy decision.  This year, we spent our week painting and doing trimwork in two houses.  We had a lot a fun while helping those affected by this disaster.
