Anyone could do that!

Soon after trusting Christ in my early twenties,
I got a job on the night shift at a plywood
company, mainly with Hispanics. We enjoyed
working with each other, on an 8-man crew
(4 teams of 2 men) that off-loaded huge crates
of fifty 4’ x 8’ sheets of plywood from trucks.
We would then unstrap each crate of plywood,
inspect each piece and then stack them into piles
of 100 good sheets. The stacks of plywood were
then taken to another building to be painted for
mobile homes.
In an 8-hour shift, each 2-man team would
prepare two or three stacks of 100 good sheets
ready for painting. My teammate was also a new
Christian, and as we began to reach out to others
with the Gospel and do Bible study together
on breaks, we began to be concerned about our
testimony in the lazy, union-controlled work
environment.
