  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker,
  Whereas, Victory for the World Church has been and continues to be a 
beacon of light to our county for the past twenty-five years; and
  Whereas, Dr. Kenneth L. Samuel, Pastor and Organizer and the members 
of the Victory for the World Church family today continues to uplift 
and inspire those in our community; and
  Whereas, Victory for the World Church family has been and continues 
to be a place where citizens are touched spiritually, mentally and 
physically through outreach ministries and community partnership to aid 
in building up our District; and
  Whereas, this remarkable and tenacious Church of God has given hope 
to the hopeless, fed the needy and empowered our community for the past 
twenty-five (25) years by preaching the gospel, teaching the gospel and 
living the gospel; and
  Whereas, Victory for the World Church has produced many spiritual 
warriors, people of compassion, people of great courage, fearless 
leaders and servants to all, but most of all visionaries who have 
shared not only with their Church, but with DeKalb County and the world 
their passion to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize the Victory for the World 
Church family for their leadership and service to our District on this 
the 25th anniversary of their founding;
  Now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., do hereby proclaim 
May 23, 2012, as Victory for the World Church Day in the 4th 
Congressional District of Georgia.
