                       WELCOMING REV. DANNY DAVIS

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentlewoman from Virginia (Mrs. 
Drake) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mrs. DRAKE. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
  I am proud to recognize and welcome Dr. Danny Davis, the senior 
pastor at Mount Hermon Baptist Church in Danville, Virginia. He is 
accompanied today by his wife of 30 years, Sandy.
  Dr. Davis was born in Tennessee and grew up in Williamsburg, 
Kentucky. Having served in the ministry since 1985, he has pastored 
churches in Kentucky, North Carolina, Florida and Virginia. Not only 
does Dr. Davis have a heart for service in his local community but also 
for ministry through missions at home and abroad. He has been involved 
in multiple mission trips to Tanzania, Russia, Honduras, the Northern 
Cheyenne Reservation in Montana, the United Kingdom, Greece and even 
Communist Cuba.
  Dr. Davis' only son, Jordan, has served as a member of my staff for 
the past 3 years. Jordan's hard work and dedication have helped me to 
better serve my constituents. I know I have Dr. Davis to thank for 
having instilled in his son the same values he displays in his ministry 
as well as the importance of service to others and his country.
  I want to thank Dr. Davis for being here today and offering today's 
prayer and I wish him continued success in his ministry.
