                        Tuesday, March 18, 2003

  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I recognize Truth 
Seekers Substance Outreach Ministry, Inc. on their 10th anniversary 
celebration in Newark, New Jersey.
  Under the direction of Reverend Lance Abercrombie, Truth Seekers 
Outreach Ministry began its journey in 1993. Traveling throughout the 
tri-state area, Reverend Abercrombie and his cousin, Wayne Reynolds, 
worked to spread the word of how their faith saved them from a life of 
substance abuse. Becoming incorporated in May of 2000, they have worked 
hard to refer individuals to detoxification and rehabilitation centers, 
shelters, as well as other organizations to help assist individuals on 
their road to a life free of substance abuse.
  The Truth Seekers Outreach Ministry, Inc. has reached out to our 
community to see that those in need are not left behind. They are 
providing a wonderful service to the many men and women in this country 
who suffer from substance abuse, by showing them that there is hope and 
that they can conquer their illness.
  Mr. Speaker, I know that my colleagues here in the U.S. House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating Truth Seekers Outreach 
Ministry, Inc. on their 10th anniversary, and wishing them the best for 
the future.
