May /June 2007 “Hats Off to Mom” Our annual Mother-Daughter Banquet was a success with over 65 mothers and daughters present! Hmna. Chelo received a plaque and a special gift for being our Mother of the Year. We had never given an award such as this before, but Hmna. Chelo has demonstrated an exemplary Christian spirit of which we felt she was worthy of such an award. She teaches our primary girls Sunday School class and is an outstanding teacher. She also cares for her husband, Bro. Carlos, who is diabetic and in need of dialysis several times a day. She never complains and always has a smile on her face. She also nursed her adult daughter back to health during a major illness earlier in the spring. “Building News - Together We Build” Praise the Lord, we have finished the end caps and have windows! We would like to thank the Central Baptist Church NW in Tomball, Texas and Pastor Garrick Ellzey for giving us two rolls of beautiful carpet! The church folks are working hard at raising the money to purchase the tile for the auditorium and the carpet will be used for the platform and the aisle areas. Everything is looking great! We are still in need of monies to finish the platform/baptistry area and to pay on the loan we took to finish the roof. If you can help with this need, please contact our home church (501)982-8826 or us at the numbers below. Summer Youth Camps We had a great time at camp this year! We held the Junior Camp on our church property with over 35 campers in attendance. We set tents up in the auditorium for the boys and the girls camped out at our home! It was a great time! Several kids accepted Christ as their Saviour! Amen! We took a group of 21 teens to camp in Pachuca, Hidalgo (a 10-hour trip). Three of our teens accepted Christ and several surrendered their lives to the Lord. Over 160 teens were present and Areli, from our work in La Labor, won the award for the "Lady Camper of the Year" for displaying a remarkable Christian spirit! Praise the Lord for that. Furlough News We are now scheduling meetings for the Fall, 2007 - Spring, 2008. If you are interested in us reporting or presenting our work to your church, please contact us as soon as possible. We look forward to hearing from you. Please be in prayer for Lindsey and her upcoming surgeries -- her first will be on September 14th at the Children's Hospital in Little Rock. Also, please be in prayer with us concerning a 15-passenger van for the ministries. The work in Aguascalientes is in need of a van. Thank you for making it possible for us to serve in Mexico! We appreciate you! For Souls in Mexico, Allen & Steph Copeland
