                    HONORING THE LIFE OF OSSIE MILLS

  (Mr. KEVIN HERN of Oklahoma asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KEVIN HERN of Oklahoma. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
life of Ossie Mills from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Those who knew Mr. Mills best 
say that he was a loyal friend, a hard worker, a devoted husband and 
father, and a servant of God. Mr. Mills encouraged and challenged 
others to live out their full potential.
  Mr. Mills served as an executive vice president at Oral Roberts 
University from 2011 to 2018, where he served as executive director and 
global council member of Empowered21. He also served on the Board of 
Directors for Convoy of Hope, a worldwide, faith-based organization 
aimed at empowering others to live lives free of poverty, disease, and 
hunger.
  Most recently, Mr. Mills was the president and CEO tvChaz, a faith-
based streaming platform aimed at helping people discover God's vision 
for life.
  While Ossie Mills' time on Earth has come to an end, the impact of 
his work will last for years to come.
  Mr. Mills is survived by his loving wife, Bonnie, and his three 
children, Nick, Olivia, and Alex.
