             HONORING MOUNT SINAI MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MARC A. VEASEY

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 30, 2016

  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mount Sinai Missionary 
Baptist Church in celebration of its 60th Anniversary and its six-
decade history of service to the community of Fort Worth, Texas.
  Founded in 1956, Mount Sinai Missionary Baptist Church began through 
its commitment to fellowship. Since its founding, Mount Sinai 
Missionary Baptist Church has committed its efforts to establishing a 
safe environment for all those seeking spiritual guidance and the 
desire to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ through preaching, teaching, 
and ministry. For six decades, Mount Sinai Missionary Baptist Church's 
ministry team has inspired and positively changed the lives of people 
throughout Fort Worth.
  For the past twenty years, Bishop B.C. McPherson II has led Mount 
Sinai Missionary Baptist Church's membership and its affiliate company 
Sininian Development Inc. (SDI), a community development organization. 
Together, they have invigorated the Southside communities of Fort Worth 
through crime reduction and affordable housing. Bishop McPherson has 
ensured throughout his tenure that every member can still receive a 
personal word with him even as the Church has grown its congregation.
  Mount Sinai not only offers fellowship for those seeking spiritual 
guidance at the church in Fort Worth, but also extends its services 
through its Real Alive Word, R.A.W., online classes. These classes 
offer spiritual seekers with biblical foundations, syntax, culture and 
much more. Both traditional and non-traditional religious avenues have 
contributed to an increase in the number of new hopeful leaders in the 
DFW Metroplex.
  I honor Mount Sinai Missionary Baptist Church's 60th Anniversary 
celebration and its dedication to the spiritual development of Fort 
Worth community
