                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 9, 2014

  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Lighthouse Ministries for 
a decade of serving men, women and children in central and eastern 
Kentucky.
  Lighthouse Ministries is a non-profit, faith-based organization 
dedicated to reaching the low- and moderate-income population of 
Lexington, and the Fayette County area, by providing free meals for 
people in need, and also by providing housing and support for men who 
are disadvantaged, whether due to recent imprisonment, drug-related 
issues, or poverty.
  Lighthouse Ministries also provides educational and psychological 
support for people who are in need of drug, alcohol and vocational 
rehabilitation.
  Since 2004, Lighthouse Ministries has served more than 330,000 
meals--each accompanied by a Bible message, individual prayer if 
requested, and clothing and toiletries when needed.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in celebrating 
Lighthouse Ministries' decade of service. I would also like to extend 
my personal gratitude to this organization for all that they do to 
better our community and our Commonwealth.
