CONGRATULATING MEGAN HUDDLE ON RECEIVING THE BRIGHTON ASSEMBLY OF GOD'S 
                               GOLD MEDAL

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILLY LONG

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 20, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Megan Huddle, who 
was recently honored with the Brighton Assembly of God's Gold Medal 
Award, the highest achievement in the Assemblies of God Girls 
Ministries program.
  To be honored with the Brighton Assembly of God's Gold Medal is the 
culmination of a 13-year journey of devotion to God that begins in 
kindergarten and finishes at the end of high school. The Girls 
Ministries program strives to instill Christian values and virtues in 
the young women who will be the future of our nation.
  To be honored with a gold medal, girls must go above and beyond the 
requirements for completing the five levels of clubs offered by the 
ministries. Medal awardees must also have read the Bible twice, the New 
Testament three times, memorized portions of scripture and have met 
weekly with a sponsor who helps to guide them spiritually.
  Mr. Speaker, Megan Huddle has not only displayed an uncommon level of 
spiritual devotion during her time in the Girls Ministries program, but 
also a measure of determination and commitment that will undoubtedly 
serve her well through her life. On behalf of Missouri's Seventh 
Congressional District, I urge my colleagues in congratulating her on 
this well-earned achievement.
