Calvary Temple Seattle: Final Thrust at Las Mananitas
By Rod and Sherry Boyd

Calvary Temple Seattle, Washington, led by associate pastor Josh Gerbracht and children’s pastor Kevin Geer, brought 13 men and women to focus in three ministry areas. Pastor Kevin worked with two other team members in children’s outreaches at various Good Shepherd schools and in distributions of evangelistic materials in several public schools.

Pastor Josh worked with two other team members to assemble and place 50 computers and overhaul existing computers. (See Technology Campaign 2002)

Seven men continued to lay block around the perimeter of the second story building. The majority of this work was scaffolding work, blocking to the roof. A small team finished the electrical work in the science area and began the electrical work on the library and administrative area on the lower level. The children’s team joined the construction efforts in the afternoon. The small team laid an enormous amount of block!

We were privileged to have three generation of Radfords with us Ray, Steve and Mark. Grandfather and grandson worked together laying block, while Steve led the electrical team.

The team enjoyed a day of touring out of Panama City. They went to a open market in the town of El Valle on their way to a beautiful Pacific beach at Santa Clara. Some members of the team were part of the 1989 MAPS team that came to Panama. That team started construction on the Kuna church in Panama City. Our trip to the church brought back many memories. The whole team joined together for the final chapel at Las Mananitas. The whole school was able to say “thank you” for the team’s hard work and ministry.

Having Calvary Temple Seattle with us was a reunion of sorts. Most members of the team are friends. We served on staff at CTS from 1986 through 1991, nearly six years.

Thank you pastors Josh and Kevin and team for your diverse and substantial investment in the lives of children and young people at Las Mananitas.

There is still more work to do! The library and office area floors must be poured and electrical work finished. Windows must be installed in this area also. Lights, windows and hanging ceiling must be installed in the science area. Block dividers need to be installed in most of the second story. We need $10,000 for the next phase that needs to be completed within the next few months. If you are able to help, please send your offerings to:
