  Ms. MOORE. Mr. Speaker, on October 31-November 2, 2014, Parklawn 
Assembly of God Church will celebrate the Installation of Pastor Walter 
F. Harvey to the Episcopal Assignment of Bishop. Also, during this 
special and historic weekend when Pastor Harvey will be installed, 
Parklawn Assembly of God Church will celebrate its 105th Anniversary.
  Bishop-Elect Walter F. Harvey has been the Senior Pastor of Parklawn 
Assembly of God Church since 1993. He is the devoted husband of Judy 
Martin Harvey, the father of Nicholas J. Harvey and grandfather of 
Autumn Marie Harvey. Since assuming the role of Senior Pastor, he has 
not only led the worship facility in the renovation of the building but 
also instituted a new church constitution and bylaws which has brought 
a spirit of renewal to the church and the community. Bishop-Elect 
Harvey is an author, mentor, and life coach. He is the President of 
Walter Harvey Ministries, Inc., an international media communications 
and consulting firm and can be heard daily on the ``Light for the 
World'' and ``Light for Today'' radio broadcasts. Further, he founded 
the Parklawn Christian Leadership Academy in 1998.
  Bishop-Elect Harvey is in great demand as a speaker around his 
community, city, nationally and internationally. He serves the 
Assemblies of God statewide and at the national level as a General 
Presbyter and vice president of the National Black Fellowship of the 
Assemblies of God, as an Executive Presbyter of the Wisconsin/Northern 
Michigan Ministry Network and as an Ethnic/Language Presbyter. He also 
serves pastors as an overseer of the Outpouring Ministry Network Group; 
a group of seven Milwaukee area pastors/ministries. Bishop-Elect Harvey 
serves on the boards of various social, economic, educational and 
philanthropic organizations. He is a man of God who not only serves the 
members of his congregation, but reaches out to make community a better 
place.
  Mister Speaker, this is why I rise to praise Bishop-Elect Walter F. 
Harvey, a man I am proud to call a friend. I honor Bishop-Elect Walter 
F. Harvey's many accomplishments and life time commitment to the entire 
Milwaukee Community and 4th Congressional District.
