                      Wednesday, January 14, 2015

  Mr. PALAZZO. Mr. Speaker, I stand today to honor Pastor Dan Q. Carr 
of South Mississippi's Fourth Congressional District, on the occasion 
of the pastor's 30th anniversary of ministry at Faith Baptist Church of 
Gulfport.
  Born in 1962, Pastor Carr found himself called to preach at a young 
age. He surrendered to that call on January 17, 1985, and became pastor 
of Faith Baptist Church on that same day. On Sunday, January 18, 2015, 
his flock of family and friends will join together to honor Pastor 
Carr's 30 years of faithful stewardship.
  On that fateful day in 1985, Faith Baptist Church began with nine 
dedicated members

and since has grown to a congregation of over one thousand.
  That type of growth, along with a steadfast pastor like Dan Carr, has 
allowed Faith Baptist Church to become a community leader of faith 
ministry and outreach. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, 
Faith Baptist opened its doors as a relief station where thousands of 
Gulf Coast survivors found comfort, hope, and needed supplies in those 
troubled and uncertain times.
  Pastor Carr is married to his lovely wife Mickey, and together they 
share nine children and eleven grandchildren. Mississippi, Gulfport, 
and the Fourth Congressional District are blessed by the continued 
ministry of Pastor Dan Carr.
  I congratulate Pastor Dan Carr on his 30th anniversary and wish the 
Faith Baptist Church family continued growth and success in ministry 
for many more years to come.
