  Mr. MURPHY of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to 
Pastor Rodney Coles of Greenville, North Carolina. In the fall of 2007, 
Pastor Coles formed the Churches Outreach Network in Greenville, North 
Carolina. Its mission is to aid the community through feeding the 
hungry and furnishing resource assistance to those in need.
  Pastor Coles has tirelessly served the community through Churches 
Outreach Network by supporting the Healthy Living Alliance which 
collaborates with churches and ministries within the surrounding 
community to develop a healthy living program which aims to encourage 
individuals to develop a healthier lifestyle. Pastor Coles also 
supports the Joy Soup Kitchen which serves lunch to those in need. 
Further, his Outreach Network promotes and assists the Community Unity 
Network which brings resources to the community concerning health, 
food, community awareness, rental assistance, senior citizen programs, 
veteran assistance and educational assistance. Since his arrival he has 
been a shining star to the community in need.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in honoring this incredible public 
servant, but more importantly, a wonderfully faithful servant of our 
Lord Jesus Christ, and my personal friend Pastor Rodney Coles, Sr.
