   HONORING AGAPE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER'S 10TH 
                              ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 24, 1998

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Agape Christian 
Fellowship Family Worship Center's 10th Anniversary in Brooklyn, New 
York.
  Agape Christian Fellowship is more than a place of worship. It 
strives to take care of the spiritual, educational, support, and social 
needs of the family as a whole. From a small acorn a mighty oak tree 
shall grow, with its roots planted deep and its presence strong. This 
metaphor only begins to describe The Agape Christian Fellowship Family 
Worship Center.
  The numerous ministries, evangelical and missionary outreaches strive 
to constantly increase in number and spirit the Family of the Savior. 
The Elders and Ministers Alliance celebrates and supports those called 
to serve and those who desire to be a vehicle for God. The Nehemiah 
Ministry for children encourages the positive support and rearing of 
children in the way of righteousness. The Evangelism and Missionary 
Department serve to meet the needs of the lost and preach salvation and 
hope in Christ. These are but a few of the many examples of Agape's 
diligence to spread the word of God.
  The Educational Division, Music Ministry, and Daughters of Esther are 
integral parts of Agape's desire to support members and nonmembers to 
have a complete life in the Lord. The Educational Division celebrates 
those in schools at all levels and encourages them to stay steadfast in 
their faith. The Daughters of Esther minister to young women to 
construct their lives according to biblical principles.
  Mr. Speaker, with the accomplishments highlighted and the numerous 
others I could not, I ask you to join me in saluting the Agape 
Christian Fellowship Family Worship Center on their 10th Anniversary.
