  Mr. BENTIVOLIO. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to celebrate Pastor Charles 
J. Whitfield, who has defined and dedicated his life to spreading the 
grace-filled love of our Lord.
   Alongside with the wonderful support of his wife Judy, daughter 
Susan, and son Daniel, Pastor Whitfield has lead Grace Baptist Church 
for over 57 years. He is the longest serving pastor in the history of 
the City of Birmingham, Michigan. Through his leadership, Grace Baptist 
has financially supported hundreds of missionaries across the world. He 
has shared the Gospel with over 172 countries.
   Pastor Whitfield's accomplishments will be forever recorded in the 
U.S. House of Representatives Congressional Record. Future generations 
must know of his invaluable service to our community and service to all 
mankind.
