  Mr. KILDEE. Madam Speaker, starting on May 9 Bishop Isiah L. Qualls 
will be honored by Grace Fellowship Church International in Saginaw 
Michigan for 40 years of ministry. The congregation is planning to 
celebrate this milestone over several days.
  Born in St. Louis Missouri, Bishop Qualls was ordained at the age of 
16 and began conducting revivals. He received bachelor's degrees in 
business administration and biblical studies and has a master's degree 
in divinity.
  From the beginning he went on to pastor two congregations and 
conducts conferences and seminars around the world. Bishop Qualls has 
been blessed by God with talents for Praise and Worship through music 
and teaching. He has joined his talents with other singers and 
musicians, appearing in venues across the globe. Among his gifts is a 
special call to minister to persons working in ministry with a rhema 
word of healing and refreshment. Together with his wife, Patricia, 
Bishop Qualls pastors Grace Fellowship Church International and he is 
the founding Chief Apostle of Global Ministries International 
Fellowship of Churches providing apostolic covering to ministries 
throughout the nation and world.
  Madam Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to rise with me and 
applaud the ability, work and healing of Bishop Isiah Qualls. His 
ministry has blessed the lives of hundreds of people and he has brought 
countless converts into the love of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and I pray 
that he will continue to bless the community for many, many years to 
come.
