After a rain, 40 or 50 volunteers from the Fenglin Church go to the banks of Papaya Creek to gather stones. The church also spent NT $ 3000 to rent a metal-sided building and buy some second-hand machinery. The water comes from a mountain spring. The church provides food and shelter, and also pays a salary to the carvers.
每到雨後，四、五十位來自鳳林的教會義工，老老少少一起出動，到木瓜溪邊去撿石頭，又用三千元租了一間鐵皮屋，機器是二手貨，水則接山泉水，所有工作者管吃管住還有薪水，就這樣開始了簡陋的石雕事業。
