              HONORING PASTORS MOULTON AND JUDITH ESDAILLE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, February 2, 2015

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, religious institutions have the power to 
shape and bind a community in ways that can forever change their 
neighborhood for the better. That has been the case with the Mount 
Carmel Pentecostal Church in the Bronx, which celebrated its 30th 
Anniversary in 2014.
  The Mt. Carmel Pentecostal Church has been a beacon of hope and 
source of strength for its parishioners for so long because of the 
incredible commitment made by its leaders, Pastors Moulton and Judith 
Esdaille, who have served their community unselfishly for over 30 
years. Their work to advance and grow the church they loved started in 
roles like Sunday School Teacher, Choir Director and Evangelist among 
others. Over time, Pastors Moulton and Judith began working to expand 
their congregation by developing outreach programs.
  Driven by their creed, ``Each One, Win One,'' Pastors Moulton and 
Judith have made it their mission to help those in need. They created 
the Bronx Park East Home for the Aging Outreach program, the Mount 
Carmel Pentecostal Church Partners with Feed the Hungry program, a 
youth mentorship program, a monthly tract program to increase spiritual 
awareness in the community and a series of enrichment classes to uplift 
parishioners. They have also been able to partner their church with 
Mission to Africa and Haiti organizations, sending food, clothing and 
supplies to areas of the globe that are in dire need of assistance.
  In addition to all Pastors Moulton and Judith have achieved for their 
church, they are also loving parents who have managed to juggle three 
children and family responsibilities with two full-time secular jobs by 
day. They are truly an impressive combination of leaders, who have done 
incredible work to reach out and touch the lives of countless people 
all throughout the world.
  In 2014 the Mt. Carmel Pentecostal Church honored Pastors Moulton and 
Judith Esdaille for all of their fantastic accomplishments and 
contributions. I'd like to echo the congratulations of the church and 
thank Moulton and Judith for all they've accomplished and done for the 
Bronx community and beyond.
