                           HON. MEL REYNOLDS

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 25, 1994

  Mr. REYNOLDS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to the attention of 
my colleagues the outstanding work done by a great leader in my 
congressional district, the Reverend Barney Shelton Saulsby of the 
Messiah Temple Missionary Baptist Church. Attached is a proclamation I 
issued Reverend Saulsby commending him for his work.

                              Proclamation

       Whereas the Reverend Barney Shelton Saulsby is a native of 
     Columbia County Florida, he is a graduate of Richardson High 
     School, Lake County Florida, Chicago Technical College with a 
     degree in Engineering, Chicago Baptist Institute, earning the 
     Bachelor of Theology Degree, Southern Bible Seminary, earning 
     the Master of Theology, and the International Bible Institute 
     earning the Doctor of Theology; and
       Whereas Reverend Saulsby is the Founder and Pastor of the 
     Messiah Temple Missionary Baptist Church, established in 
     1965, serving as its faithful under-shepherd for over twenty-
     eight years, on Easter Sunday, April 19, 1980 the 
     congregation moved to its new home a new edifice seating over 
     one thousand, a fellowship hall, and educational facility; 
     and
       Whereas Reverend Saulsby believes in a Ministry to the 
     total man and community outreach, in 1992 he was appointed 
     Protestant Chaplain of the Chicago Fire Department, serving 
     the spiritual needs of the Firemen and their families; and
       Whereas Reverend Saulsby organized the Messiah Evangelistic 
     Association with an outreach ministry reaching over thirty 
     States, the God Squad Youth Ministry that includes the far 
     south side of Chicago, and a weekly radio broadcast that 
     covers the Chicago Metropolitan Area: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Congress of the United States wishes to 
     acknowledge the accomplishments of The Reverend Barney 
     Shelton Saulsby and the Messiah Temple Missionary Baptist 
     Church, by entering these accomplishments into the 
     Congressional Record and Achives of the One Hundred and Third 
     Congress of the United States of America.
