sustained Greater Moses Baptist Church, as an instrument in our

our citizens; and
  Whereas, this remarkable and tenacious man of God has given hope to 
the hopeless, fed the hungry and is a beacon of light to those in need; 
and
  Whereas, Pastor Williams is a spiritual warrior, a man of compassion, 
a fearless leader and a servant to all, but most of all a visionary who 
has shared not only with his Church, but with our District and the 
world his 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 Pastor Joseph Williams as 
he celebrates his thirty second Pastoral Anniversary at Greater Moses 
Baptist Church;
  Now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do hereby proclaim
