Heart to Serve: Maureen Copeland

"She senses the worth of her work, 

is in no hurry to call it quits for the day. 

She's skilled in the crafts of home and 

hearth, diligent in homemaking. 

She's quick to assist anyone in need, 

reaches out to help the poor.

-from Proverbs 31

      Do you know Maureen? Or maybe you know her as "Mo" as many call her (a few special girls even call her GrandMo). Either way, if you have had the blessing of meeting Maureen, or even more have the blessing of calling her a friend, you know her heart is a heart to serve. Co-founder of School to the Nations with her husband, Randy, Maureen has a heart for the nations and desires to be a part of planting churches globally as His Kingdom advances.
   
As for the day-to-day business, she is the Financial Secretary and Treasurer for STN and serves to keep the books in order for our ministry. She is well-seasoned in frontier work having traveled numerous times to Africa, as well as Japan, Greece, Brazil, and Mexico (to name a few). Her heart is a heart of hospitality seen clearly in the way she opens her house to family, friends, and even a few strangers now and then. Her warm personality is welcoming, along with her desire to see young people grow in the Lord, she has mentored many young people that have crossed her path over the years. She is a member of Ridgecrest Baptist Church, where she sings on the worship team
    As help-mate to Randy, she serves cheerfully as he follows the call and leads School to the Nations as the Lord leads him. For 32 years of marriage she has stood by him faithfully even to the point of "being dragged across the world" as the two of them have discovered this wonderful gift given to them, School to the Nations.

Thank you for your heart to serve Maureen! In the words of Christ, "Well done, good and faithful servant..." (Matt. 25:21)
