  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Sugar Creek 
Baptist Church for celebrating 40 years of prayer and worship.
  This 9,600-member church is a local and global leader. The church 
contributes upwards of $2 million annually to local and international 
mission and church development programs. Over the last 12 years, Sugar 
Creek Baptist Church has directly supported 93 new churches. Just last 
year, the church led the development of the Freedom Church Alliance, an 
organization that works with local churches and organizations to fight 
human trafficking. Its members are constant volunteers in local refugee 
and prison communities, too. Throughout its 40 years, Sugar Creek 
Baptist Church has been a model of faith and a leader in our community.
  Thank you to Sugar Creek Baptist Church and its members for all they 
do in Sugar Land and throughout the world. We are excited to see what 
the next 40 years hold for you.
