Greetings!
My name
is Robb Pierce. I'm in my late 20s and I feel God has called me
to be a missionary. Currently, my involement in missions is short
term. I pray that some day I will be involved in full time missions
overseas, but for now, its being a missionary right here in the
USA, and also short term trips to other countries, primarily Mexico.
I'm learning much Spanish rapidly, to help with my ministry in
Mexico. This site is dedicated to all the missions trips that
I've been blessed to be a part of. Each trip has a daily journal
log, along with daily photos. Please feel free to navigate the
website. You are encouraged to browse through past trips and pray
about your involvement in future trips.
God
Bless,
- The Nexxto Missions Team
You
can choose a past trip by either:
I am often
asked what the name Nexxto is, or where it came from. This is
a nickname I earned in Costa Rica 2004. On one of the first days
there, as a team leader trying to learn Spanish, I did the American
thing trying to talk in Spanish. We had done some work at one
of the missionaries homes in Costa Rica setting up some computers,
and we wanted to take some photos with them, our whole team had
their cameras ready. We asked our driver to photo us. He kept
using the same camera, and we were trying to motion to him to
use other cameras, we dont need 16 of the same photos on one camera.
We tried everything, and I thought of how to say next in Spanish,
and did the typical American thing by putting an "o"
at the end of it. Everyone, including the driver laughed at me.
Most of the team, thought it was one of the funniest things ever,
and in a state of humility, nicknamed me Nexxto. I had hoped the
name would die after the trip. One year later, back to Costa Rica
in 2005, I arrive and one of the first things I hear is someone
yelling across the hotel, NEXXXXXXXTOOOOOOO!!! In my mind, I thought,
oh no, I thought that was forgotten, but it wasn't, and it became
even more popular than ever. Many who'd never heard the story
began calling me Nexxto. It even followed me home, and so I've
accepted the name and chose to use it as the name of my ministry.
It reminds me of how much help I need from the Lord, and humbles
me. Nexxto lives on!!!
