Does Les or the ministry staff get paid for their work?
No, the teacher and ministry staff do not receive payment for their work. The speaker states he does everything for nothing, and those who handle business, pay bills, and deposit checks all serve voluntarily. The only exception mentioned is an accountant for IRS work, though one gal is said to do it for nothing.
Les explains that the ministry is structured so no one takes money out except the accountant who does IRS work. He emphasizes that he does everything for nothing, and the people who take care of business, pay bills, and deposit checks all do it on a voluntary basis. He notes that one gal is doing it for nothing, and that 99 cents of every dollar that comes into the ministry goes for production and television time. The booklets are offered for a two-dollar contribution to cover printing and mailing costs, and the seminar tapes are offered for a ten-dollar contribution to the ministry, with no one making money on them.
