                        Thursday, July 17, 2008

  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Madam Speaker, rise today to honor the Evangelical 
Mission and Seminary International in the Towaco portion of the 
Township of Montville, Morris County, New Jersey, a vibrant community I 
am proud to represent! On August 8 and 10, 2008, the good citizens of 
Montville will celebrate the Evangelical Mission and Seminary 
International's 40th anniversary.
  Evangelical Mission and Seminary International, EMSI, was established 
in 1968 by the Reverend Moses Yang. The mission has branches in four 
continents: Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa, and is made up of 
several organizations, including Evangelical Bible Institute, Christian 
Evangelical Mission, and Christian Evangelical Overseas Outreach. 
Reverend Yang started the personal ministry in 1968. He opened his 
house and targeted different groups for Bible study, including the 
College Bible Study group, youth and junior high school students and 
the Children's Sunday School. When Bible study groups continued to 
grow, a church was established. The Evangelical Mission and Seminary 
International was established in Towaco, New Jersey in 1982. In the 
past 40 years, 1968-2008, the ministry had expanded to include 
seminaries, churches, mission, literature, and broadcasting.
  The Evangelical Bible Institute, also located in Towaco, was founded 
in 1979 and occupies over 19 acres. Campus facilities include the 
Educational Building, a church, and Chinese/English library, which 
houses in excess of 14,000 books. The Christian Evangelical Mission was 
established in West Orange, New Jersey, in 1975. EMSI established the 
Christian Evangelical Overseas Mission in 1995

with the purpose of developing the overseas mission work.
  Madam Speaker, I urge you and my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating the Evangelical Mission and Seminary International, as 
well as the Reverend Moses Yang, on the celebration of 40 years serving 
Morris County and people around the world.
