“Let Us Rise Up and Build” 
 
“Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon 
me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. 
And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they 
strengthened their hands for this good work.” 
 
Praise the Lord! The blocks have been laid! We wanted you 
to be able to see what the Lord has done, and have enclosed 
a photo sheet showing from when the first block was laid to 
the last block. We are excited about what the Lord is 
doing! 
 
We are equally excited to share with you that the men from 
our churches have done the labor! Bro. Raul from our 
mission work in La Labor served as the head block layer and 
Bro. Andrés from the main work in Aguascalientes worked as 
his helper. Bro. Rafael, Bro. Rafa, Bro. Eli and myself 
worked as the common laborers!!  
 
We mixed cement, carried block, cut block ... we had a 
great time! Bro. Victor has been helping run the 
electrical 
lines. We were also able to finish the roof on the little 
building and purchase the doors for the auditorium.  
 
“Thank You So Much for Having a Part in Our Building!”  
 
We are now ready for the roof! We have contacted a welder 
who will begin the steel structure in January. It is URGENT 
that we get the roof up soon. The rainy season is coming 
and though the tent has been a tremendous blessing, it is 
beginning to come apart at the seams.  
 
The cost of the roof will be more than we originally 
estimated. For the steel beams, structure and labor the 
cost is $50,000 pesos, the roof tiles will be $44,000. 
Approximately $9,000 USD is needed for the roof.  
 
If you can help with this urgent need, please label it as 
“Copeland Auditorium Fund” and send it to either our home 
church or support address. We can be reached through our 
e-mail address AllenyEstefani@aol.com or by calling us at  
(011)52-449-929-8275 / (011)52-449-406-7527. Thank you for 
investing in our ministry! 
 
“Together We Build” 
 
To go along with our building project we chose the theme 
“Together We Build” for our Fall Campaign. The folks 
earned points (sticker “blocks”)during the campaign for 
attendance, soulwinning, bringing visitors, reading 
their Bible, bringing their Bible, and memorizing verses.  
It was exciting watching them build their paper churches! 
At the end of the campaign we brought the three churches 
together for a “Family Day”. We had a full day of 
preaching, baptizing, singing and eating! Winners from 
each of the three churches won leather-bound Bibles and 
music CD’s.  
 
Watch Night Service - “God First in 2007" 
 
The Lord blessed during our annual Watch Night service. We 
heard preaching from both of our assistant pastors and our 
young preacher boys (Timothy Club). We heard great singing 
from several folks in the church and had a great time of 
fellowship.  
 
The theme for our ministry in 2007 is “God First”. May 
God bless you and your ministry in 2007!  
 
THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO SERVE IN MEXICO! 
 
For Souls in Mexico,  
Allen & Steph Copeland
