Last weekend I enjoyed a weekend retreat with some of CLTC's workers. These men labor in our poultry, rice, farm, mechanics, plumbing and other departments. Most earn less than a dollar per hour, but their contribution to the college is invaluable. It has been said that 80% of the cost to educate a student here comes as a result of the fruit of their labor.

I led them in a study of Philippians. It was entitled Rod Bilong Amamas: Pas Pol i Raitim long Ol Filipai (Philippians: A Road to Joy! ) We certainly had a joyous time sharing God's word in drama, testimony and song. The food came in abundance. (I ate enough rice to relieve a Chinese famine!)
Pray for these men. They work hard. At the end of a day their backs and legs ache. They perform repetitive tasks day in and day out. However, without their hard labor this college would not exist.
