  Mr. KILDEE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Reverend Dr. 
Henry L. Fuller, Jr. and his wife Marilyn W. Fuller as they celebrate 
12 years leading the congregation of Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist 
Church in my hometown of Flint, Michigan. A dinner was held on 
Saturday, April 10 to honor the occasion.
  Pastor Fuller received his Bachelor's degree from the United Bible 
Institute of the United Theological Seminary--Flint Branch. He received 
an honorary doctorate from United Bible Institute of the United 
Theological Seminary in Monroe Louisiana. He preached his first sermon 
on December 12, 1971 at Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church. He was 
inspired to organize a Mission in Holly, Michigan in 1973. The Mission 
became Faith Baptist Church. Between the years 1983 to 1998, Pastor 
Fuller headed the Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in Muncie Indiana.
  On April 18, 1998, Pastor Fuller returned to his roots and became the 
Pastor at Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church. In addition to leading 
the congregation, Pastor Fuller has held several positions with the 
church and in the community. He has served as president of the 
Northeastern District Sunday School and BTU Congress of Christian 
Education of the Northeastern District Missionary Baptist Association 
in Muncie; president of Indiana Consolidated Congress of Christian 
Education of the Indiana Consolidated State Convention; served on the 
Finance Board of the National Baptist Convention of America, Inc.; was 
a writer with the Publishing Board Sunday School and BTU Literature 
National Baptist Convention of America, Inc.; as an instructor at the 
Central Baptist Theological Seminary of Indiana; and served as 
moderator of the Great Lakes Baptist District Association 2000-2007.
  Marilyn W. Fuller has worked by her husband's side in the Flint 
community and at Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church. A retired 
registered nurse specializing in substance abuse and addictions 
counseling, Mrs. Fuller currently serves on the Board of Managers of 
Hurley Medical Center. She works with the Genesee County focus group 
for the National Coalition of Pastors' Spouses committed to decreasing 
HIV/AIDS infection in African American Women. She is active in several 
ministries at Mt. Calvary and at the Great Lakes District level, the 
Wolverine State Congress level and the National Baptist Congress level. 
Pastor and Mrs. Fuller have 4 children and 7 grandchildren.
  Madam Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to rise with me and 
honor the work of Reverend Dr. Henry L. Fuller, Jr., and his wife, 
Marilyn W. Fuller. Their enthusiasm and witness have inspired the Mt. 
Calvary family. May Our Lord, Jesus Christ, continue to bless our 
community with their service for many, many more years.
