                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 28, 2000

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Fresno 
Chapter of World Impact, Inc. for their effect on the Fresno Community.
  World Impact is a nationwide, interdenominational, Christian 
discipling and church-planting ministry dedicated to ministering God's 
love in the inner cities of America. The organization nurtures urban 
disciples who will join in teaching others the gospel. World Impact, 
Inc. also develops indigenous disciples of Christ in the inner city 
through ministry to children, teenagers and adults who are committed to 
Christ and to making Him known to others.
  Currently, the Fresno Chapter shares the gospel of Jesus Christ in 
five ministry areas in Fresno, California. They minister to about 250 
children and 40 teenagers weekly from these areas and also hold Bible 
studies for adults. In addition to their five ministry areas, they also 
have a community center, which includes a gymnasium, recreation rooms, 
a kitchen, offices, and classrooms. The community center offers Bible 
classes year round, as well as other community activities.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize the Fresno chapter of World Impact, 
Inc. for their contributions to the community, and I urge my colleagues 
to join me in wishing the organization many more years of continued 
success.
