Laurie-Ann with friend Diane Blenkiron (of LIFT TV). Diane attended one of the Copples' events in April, 2016 and bought some of Laurie-Ann's art. In 2017, Diane was an amazingly faithful server of coffee, tea and cake at the Coffee, Cake and Copples - West End event

Tony sharing at the same event in April 2016. This was the same evening that Laurie-Ann had shared about a prophetic word that a friend had which gave us at least three years in Africa. Someone asked Laurie-Ann how long the Copples could be away from Canada if/when accepted as long term missionaries.

Saturday, October 21, 2017 - 11 am "African Party for the Copples" - Host: Apostle Cornelius Babaloa, Tabernacle House of Prayer. 427 McArthur Avenue, Ottawa ON K1K 1G5.
This event included mostly African dishes and fruit prepared by Pastor Ansa Babaloa. We shared communion, greetings from each IPLF member and guests present, prayers and our friend Lorna was led to have the pastors and leaders honoured, while Lorna and Laurie-Ann walked around the room, praying for the pastors. There was even a pastor couple there who are new members of IPLF from Cape Town. Jokes were shared that perhaps the Copples and this couple were exchanging places. :) Tony has been part of the IPLF since 2007, as board member and treasurer in recent years.
