  Mr. KILDEE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Rev. Dr. 
Major A. Stewart as he is installed as pastor of Mt. Olive Missionary 
Baptist Church on Sunday, March 7th in my hometown of Flint, Michigan.
  Pastor Stewart was raised in the Muskegon, Michigan, area. He 
confessed his call to preach the gospel in 1986, and was licensed to 
preach in 1992. He was ordained in December 1995. His ministry has 
included work as a youth pastor, associate minister, singles 
coordinator and assistant pastor, working in Michigan, California, 
Florida and Pennsylvania. His missionary work has taken him to Turkey, 
West Africa, and Liberia. He has also participated in a trip to Israel 
with the United Theological Seminary Pilgrimage Team.
  In addition to his duties as senior pastor of Mt. Olive Missionary 
Baptist Church, Reverend Stewart also works at GM Parts World 
Headquarters and is an adjunct part-time instructor at Concordia 
University teaching accounting, business policy and marketing 
management. Pastor Stewart holds a bachelor of business administration 
degree from Eastern Michigan University; a master of business 
administration degree from California Lutheran University; a master of 
arts in Christian education from Michigan Theological Seminary; and a 
doctor of ministry degree from United Theological Seminary.
  Reverend Stewart and his wife, Carla Brooks Stewart, are the parents 
of Alexandria Janine, Mikaela Ann and Karissa Danielle Stewart.
  Madam Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join me in 
congratulating Rev. Dr. Major A. Stewart as he is installed as the new 
pastor of the historic Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church. Mt. Olive 
has been a rock of hope and guidance for 102 years and I pray that 
under Pastor Stewart's leadership it will continue to spread the good 
news of Our Savior, Jesus Christ, throughout the Flint area for many, 
many years to come.
