For such a work the teachers of CFTI must depend on the Holy Spirit's presence and power. Self effort and man's methods are not CFTI's objectives. The faculty are careful that the prise and glory for this Institute for Christ in Thailand will be offered only to God. At noon another meal is served. The afternoon is reserved for physical labor.
Students help with maintenance, clean up and agricultural work.
This not only teaches the students new skills and higher hygienic standards, but also serves as an informal time for teachers to minister to the students while working side by side. The evening meal is always a joyous occasion as the students enjoy a variety of ethnic foods. After the meal students are free to do personal duties before the 7PM study hour. But even in the dark one can hear a voice praying in one room, someone listening to a preaching tape by a battery operated tape player, and a voice softly singing in yet another dorm. The surrounding country area is quiet as another day ends with praises floating on the winds.
