                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DANNY K. DAVIS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 31, 2014

  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, on Sunday, July 27th, 
2014, Dr. Willie Wilson celebrated the 27th anniversary of Singsation, 
his nationally syndicated gospel television show at the Apostolic 
Pentecostal Church of Morgan Park, where Apostle William A. Ellis is 
Pastor and spiritual leader.
  I take this opportunity to congratulate Dr. Wilson, not only for the 
longevity of this production, but also for his business success and for 
his humanitarian work with faith-based organizations.
  Dr. Willie Wilson is no ordinary man. He is basically a man of great 
religious faith. Self educated, self made, high school dropout, multi 
millionaire business man, a great philanthropist who contributes 
somewhere in the area of a million dollars annually to small churches 
and provides financial support to many other charities.
  In addition to running his businesses (Omar Medical Supply Company), 
he serves as Chairman and Chief Fundraiser for the Chicago Baptist 
Institute, a college level educational and training institute for 
clergy and lay individuals who want to learn how to more effectively 
practice Christian principles and practice in their everyday lives.
  Dr. Wilson is well known for his hobby and passion for singing gospel 
music. On practically every Sunday afternoon, he, along with his gospel 
singing group and orchestra can be found at a small church singing 
gospel music, after which he always leaves a sizeable donation for the 
church.
  A man among men, a giver from his heart, and a leader of leaders.
  I commend and congratulate Dr. Willie Wilson as he and his friends 
celebrate 27 years of Singsation.
