  Mr. SPRATT. Madam Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the tenth 
anniversary of Freedom Temple Ministries in Rock Hill, South Carolina. 
The Church was founded on October 8, 2000, as a group of 38 people 
began ``Preparing for the Promise'' on the campus of Winthrop 
University. Freedom Temple Ministries now calls 215 Main Street in Rock 
Hill its home. The structure, called The Freedom Center, includes a 
sanctuary which seats 700, a gymnasium with a walking track, and 65 
classrooms. Various youth and community outreach programs are housed 
here and the congregation looks forward to making the facility an 
intricate part of the Rock Hill community. Today, Pastor Herbert C. 
Crump, Jr. leads the congregation. Freedom Temple Ministries has made a 
significant impact on the spiritual wellbeing of its followers and will 
continue to serve God and country for years to come.
