For five days around Resurrection Sunday, CLTC is celebrating Missions Week. The students do much of the preparation and presenting, and there is an air of excitement to learn about what God is accomplishing around the world.

Students silk-screen printed T-shirts with the theme info. This year the focus is on four countries in northeastern Asia.
Women arranged flowers from around the campus in the auditorium.
The registration table was ready to orient attendees from near and far. Some graduates and PNG missionaries have returned to give reports on their work.
On the opening night, student families from smaller islands surrounding PNG welcomed with singing and rhythm sticks those who had gathered.
The group that has attracted much attention is a delegation from West Papua. The people from this area of eastern Indonesia are related to the people of PNG, and CLTC has sent a number of missionaries there. The West Papuans are shown dressed traditionally and singing their praise to God. The guy in the back, playing the violin, is related to US missionaries who serve at CLTC.
