Proclamation.
  Whereas, Pastor James C. Ward is celebrating today nineteen (19) 
years as Pastor of Antioch Lithonia Baptist Church; and
  Whereas, Pastor Ward, under the guidance of God has pioneered and 
sustained Antioch Lithonia Baptist Church, as an instrument in our 
community that uplifts the spiritual, physical and mental welfare of 
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 Ward 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 James C. Ward as 
he celebrates his nineteenth Pastoral Anniversary at Antioch Lithonia 
Baptist Church; now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do 
hereby proclaim March 9, 2014 as Pastor James C. Ward Day in the 4th 
Congressional District of Georgia.
  Proclaimed, this 9th day of March, 2014.
