                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 26, 2005

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, whereas, Keith Cope and the congregation of 
Leesville Faith Community Chapel began a ministry for the 1,000 members 
of Pastor John Okinda's church in Migori, Kenya; and
  Whereas, the Kenya Canning Committee is committed to collecting two 
separate shipments of 30,000 jars with the purpose of teaching the 
Kenyan congregation to properly store food through canning to reduce 
the repercussions of malnutrition and starvation; and
  Whereas, the Kenya Canning Committee has also raised $45,000 to 
supply the congregation with a tractor and are planning to raise funds 
to purchase a water tank all to aid in their quest to end starvation in 
Migori, Kenya; and
  Whereas, previous shipments enabled Pastor Okinda's members to 
successfully can food for the first time in June, 2005.
  Therefore, I join with the residents of the entire 18th Congressional 
District of Ohio in honoring and congratulating the Kenya Canning 
Committee under the direction of Keith Cope for their outstanding 
accomplishments and best wishes for all their future endeavors.
