HONORING THE LIFE OF PASTOR B.R. DANIELS, JR.
(Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate Pastor B.R.
Daniels, Jr.'s 25th pastoral anniversary at the First Greater New Hope
Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas.
A native of Fort Worth, Pastor Daniels attended Oscar Dean Wyatt High
School. After graduating high school, he answered the call of duty and
enlisted in the United States Army, where he faithfully served his
country for 8 years. Pastor Daniels was honorably discharged in 1992 at
the rank of Sergeant E-5.
In early 1993, when the First Greater New Hope Baptist Church was in
search of a new pastor, Reverend Daniels was called to occupy the
pulpit. The congregation knew right away that they had the right man
for the job.
After 25 years, Pastor Daniels has certainly left his mark not only
on the church, but he works closely with so many different groups in
the city of Fort Worth and is on different commissions. He does a great
job. His passion

and love for the ministry explain why so many follow his vision of
hope.
