                   TRIBUTE TO BISHOP WELLINGTON BOONE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PAUL C. BROUN

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 5, 2013

  Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
incredible man of faith, with a true calling and heart for serving the 
Lord, Bishop Wellington Boone.
  Bishop Wellington Boone was ordained into ministry in 1973, and in 
this same year, he married his childhood sweetheart, Katheryn. Today, 
Bishop Boone not only celebrates 40 years of ministry, but 40 years of 
loving marriage with his wife.
  In today's world, it is unique and certainly admirable to see a 
couple celebrate 40 years of marriage. Their long-lasting marriage is a 
testament not only to their commitment to each other, but to their 
dedication in serving the Lord.
  Bishop Boone's 40 years of leadership and service in ministry is also 
a tremendous accomplishment, and one that deserves recognition. Through 
his work, Bishop Boone has faithfully led others in their quest to 
glorify and serve the Lord.
  Mister Speaker, I ask that you join me in congratulating Bishop Boone 
as he celebrates 40 years of ministry, and 40 years of marriage with 
his lovely wife, Katheryn. I extend my personal congratulations to them 
both, and wish them many more joyful years ahead in both their ministry 
and marriage.
