We have 2 more stories for you. One is from a student. The other from Dave Masterson. He wasn't a part of PPC in body, but we all know he was there in spirit! Check these moving stories out....

This weekend was one of the best weekends so far this summer. Okay, I’m not going to lie; I entered this missions trip with a bad attitude. It seemed like all it would be was another weekend at home. I wasn’t interested, but I decided that anything could happen so I signed up, and now I feel bad because it was so much more than I expected. To start, I was a little worried about my team. I wasn’t really friends with most of them because they totally scrambled the ages! But I ended up loving my team, and became close to all of them, even if they were 3 or 4 grades ahead. This trip was an amazing time to make friends who had the same thing in common with you, a love for Christ and a strong faith. During the course of the week, we had many life changing experiences. We fixed up trails at Boston School Forest, worked on the Harrison’s home, held a wheelchair wash and a carnival for the Boys & Girls Club/Big Brothers Big Sisters and even picked up cigarette butts and washed windows in downtown Point. But probably one of the most powerful things on my heart was the Prayer Walk. Each team was assigned an area in Portage County to go and pray for. We got to pray for Meade Park, the county jail, the court house, crisis center and the Boys & Girls Club, but the most inspiring thins was praying with Millie Medin. She may be older, but she had the energy and life in her like a kid, but most of all I’ve never seen anyone with such a passion for Christ. Overall the week was extremely successful and now I’m just waiting to see what’s in store for next year.

Hi, all. I wanted to share with you a phone call I received from an employee out at Boston School Forest and was the recipient of a PPC group of kids under the guidance of Steve Berg and Jonathan Whitford. She called me to tell me: "What an awesome, Godly church I belong to"! Wow. What a blessing the kids were for her and the Forest and such a testimony of God's love, grace, and mercy. She was praising and crying at the same time and it was super to hear her say that. She said the kids worked harder than any she has seen in years, did more than they were asked, and did with joy and had fun. What a testimony. So to all of you who planned and executed what the Lord called you to do, thanks! Know that your efforts are bearing fruit for the Kingdom and showing that indeed, "the Church has Left the Building"!
Your admiring and thankful brother in Christ,
Dave
