                          HON. DALE E. KILDEE

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 23, 2010

  Mr. KILDEE. Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing the 
achievements of WAQP-TV 49 as it celebrates 25 years broadcasting the 
Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Flint, Saginaw, Bay City, Midland and 
Lansing areas. WAQP-TV will celebrate this anniversary on March 25th at 
the station in Saginaw Michigan.
  WAQP-TV 49 is part of TCT, Total Christian Television founded by Drs. 
Garth and Tina Coonce. The station broadcasts Christian programming 24 
hours a day to give inspiration to those in need, and maintains an 800 
Prayer Line. The volunteers manning this line pray with the callers and 
provide hope, encouragement and strength to the most vulnerable. Both 
callers and volunteers experience the joy that comes from partnering 
with the Lord. As part of the TCT family, the station and its viewers 
can connect with Christians around the globe, forming a prayer chain 
that reaches throughout the world.
  Madam Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join me in 
commending WAQP-TV 49 for its commitment to preaching the Gospel of 
Jesus Christ. Their dedication, enthusiasm and prayers are a blessing 
to the community and the countless people that encounter Our Lord, 
Jesus Christ, through their ministry.
