Rebuilding Tractors Teaches Valuable Job Skills

Meeting needs is often very practical. One example is our “Tractor Factory”. It was started to teach older orphans, who did not qualify for or desire higher educational training, a skill in heavy equipment mechanics.  Old tractors were purchased or donated from America and the kids learned by rebuilding every part on them under the supervision of experienced mechanics.  Soon, we discovered that Cambodian farmers wanted to purchase these refurbished tractors as it gave them good equipment at a reasonable price.  The kids found they could make money doing this, that not only earned them a wage, but provided income to support their younger brothers and sisters in the orphan homes. And, every place a tractor went the Gospel followed, as the Spirt filled service staff traveled to repair and deliver product they leaked their faith as they went.
