In March of 1997, 32 volunteers with Volunteer Christian Builders, went to Copperfield Baptist Church in Houston, Texas to frame, sheetrock, and add electrical and plumbing to the inside of a 16,000 square foot building. This building was to serve as a meeting and worship center for 1,000 members.
The Houston Chronicle featured J.T. Smith in the article, a then 74 year old VCB volunteer, from Monroe, Louisiana.
