                          HON. DANIEL WEBSTER

                       Tuesday, November 15, 2016

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is with sincere appreciation 
that I recognize Pastor John Reynolds for his extraordinary leadership 
of Volusia County Baptist Church. After more than 50 years of ministry, 
Dr. Reynolds will retire on October 16, 2016, the 20th anniversary of 
Volusia County Baptist Church.
   Dr. Reynolds was born in Spencer, West Virginia and is a graduate of 
both Tennessee Temple College and Temple Baptist Theological Seminary.
   Dr. Reynolds has been married to Becky for over 50 years, and during 
that time they have served the Lord together in full time ministry. 
Throughout the last half-century, Dr. Reynolds has held many positions 
including pastor, associate pastor, youth minister and minister of 
music. He also served as the president of a Christian recording company 
and assistant editor of a Christian publication.
   In 1996, Dr. Reynolds founded Volusia County Baptist Church and I 
would like to thank him for his 20 years of faithful ministry to our 
community and dedication to Christian leadership. Many lives have been 
impacted through his ministry and that of the church.
   It is my pleasure to recognize and congratulate Dr. Reynolds and 
Volusia County Baptist Church on this momentous occasion and express my 
sincerest wishes and congratulations to Dr. Reynolds and his family on 
his retirement. May God continue to bless Pastor Reynolds and the 
ministry of Volusia County Baptist Church throughout future 
generations.
