Toppenish WA Team Prepares Las Mananitas For 2001
Rod and Sherry Boyd

Eight men representing Toppenish Assembly of God, led by Pastor Bruce Sullenger, continued work on the Las Mananitas Secondary School. Rev. Mike Davis, Pastor of the Mabton Assembly of God, was also a valuable member of the team. The group completely blocked one classroom and started the foundation and block work for the future staircase. They also worked on another classroom. These two classrooms will allow for a second 9th grade class and a dedicated computer lab for the secondary school.

Pastor Bruce and a deacon from the church, Kevin, came in July with the Pasco team. The Lord touched them with the ministry of LACC and the school at Las Mananitas.  They went home committed to get help for several students and to return if possible. The Lord worked out the details and they returned to Panama the end of January for 10 days. They were able to bring gifts for the children they sponsor as well as supplies for the school. Pastor Bruce and Pastor Mike ministered in three different churches during their stay.

The team was blessed with three Mexicans who were able to speak Spanish and blend with the Panamanian culture. They spent considerable time with the families of the children they sponsor, learning about life in Panama. All of the men were touched by the need in Panama.

Thank you, Pastor Bruce, Pastor Mike, Kevin, Hildo, Tom, Misael, Roger and Jose. Please come back soon!

Please pray for this school. Pray for the new secondary director, Delia. Pray that God would supply for all of the construction that must take place before March 10th. Pray for the 50 children at the school who need a sponsor.
