The missions trip was fantastic.
It was so good to see what has happened down there in Costa Rica even in the two years since I’ve been down there last. It’s amazing what our small amount of help can do in a place like that.
The team was fantastic and I would have to say that one of my favorite things about the trip was getting to know the Parkview people and finding out what God is doing in their lives. It is a living faith I saw in our team!
Stats:
Medical - 911 patients (285 children, 41 seniors)
Pharmacy – 1500 prescriptions
Eyeglasses - 1500
Dental supplies 1250
Oldest - 106 years
Youngest - 6 days
Youngest mother - 12 years
That is the way things are in the slums of Costa Rica.
I heard great things about Michael Franzese’s testimony and the weekend just blew the doors off the place. We had a record 5130 people which is really amazing considering it was the week after Easter and the end of spring break which is usually down.
I can tell you that there is nothing like being out of the country and hearing that the weekend services went so well. I almost stayed there! But I do start a new series this weekend ~ you won’t want to miss any weekends during this series!
And, I’m announcing our Great Investment campaign totals and First Fruits totals this weekend.
If you haven’t got in your commitment please drop your card by the office or e-mail it to Wayne. wayne@parkviewchurch.com
Will write more later – got to catch up.

It's good to have you back.... I'm sure you and your team did fantastic work in His name, but we missed you.
