                       Tuesday, January 29, 2008

  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of great 
community and spiritual leaders, Paster Lloyd Maddoux and his wife Pat 
for their 25 years of service to the ministry at the First Assembly of 
God in Conroe, Texas. Pastor Maddoux is a true servant to society and 
has left a lasting impression on numerous lives.
  Pastor Maddoux has touched countless lives--when people are in every 
season of life. Pastor Maddoux has celebrated with families when he's 
officiated at their weddings and offered blessing over the birth of a 
new baby. He's helped new Christian believers grow closer in their 
walks with their Savior through Bible teachings and baptism. He has 
helped honor the lives of men and women who have passed away with 
funerals that celebrated their lives and offered hope of eternity 
through Jesus Christ.
  A Pastor is a servant to his congregation and community. Pastor 
Maddoux has opened up his home church as a shelter for Hurricane Rita 
victims, where over 300 people and pets took shelter. He and Pat have 
opened their home many times to help strangers, neighbors and friends.
  Not only has he touched lives in our community, but he has reached 
out to do missions all over this country, as well as abroad in Mexico, 
the Philippines, Seoul, Korea, West Africa and Turkey. Pastor Maddoux 
has also touched lives through participating in prison ministries.
  He has served in numerous positions such as the board of Greater 
Houston Teen Challenge and mission boards for the South Texas District-
North Houston Section. Pastor Maddoux was a National Finals Chairman 
for the Oral Roberts University Educational Fellowship. He is the 
current Presbyter of the North Houston Section of the Assemblies of God 
Ministers and also served as a committee member. He has helped with 
Lifestyle Ministries Radio and Lifestyle Christian School, which began 
in 1985. He is the originator of many traditions in our community, such 
as the National Day of Prayer in Conroe and the Men's Day of Prayer. He 
was also a manager at the Kids Camp Victory.
  Madam Speaker, Pastor Maddoux and his wife Pat are rare individuals 
whom I respect greatly. Our nation joins me in honoring both of them 
today for their 25 years of service to our community and First Assembly 
of God in Conroe, Texas.
