                         Tuesday, March 9, 2021

  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Rev. Dr. 
Barbara Cain for her service as the Moderator of the Northern Neck 
Baptist Association, Inc. Founded in 1877, the NNBA now serves 31 
churches across the Northern Neck of Virginia. Dr. Cain has led this 
organization since 2018, and it has benefited greatly from her 
leadership.
  As Moderator, Dr. Cain established NNBA Committees on Land 
Acquisition and Social Justice. Additionally, she worked tirelessly 
with the Baptist General Convention of Virginia and the Lott Carey 
Baptist Foreign Mission Convention. Under Dr. Cain's leadership, NNBA 
also received a grant for its Tutorial Advocacy Program. Dr. Cain's 
impressive dedication and leadership guided NNBA throughout both the 
COVID-19 pandemic and a time of unrest in the community.
  A former teacher, Dr. Cain found her calling in ministry. She is the 
founder and pastor of Abiding Faith Baptist Church in Kilmarnock, VA. 
Previously, Dr. Cain served as president of both the Northumberland and 
the Lancaster Ministerial Associations. In her free time, Dr. Cain 
enjoys salt-water fishing and spending time with her eleven 
grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
  Madam Speaker, I am thankful for Dr. Cain's service to both the 
Northern Neck Baptist Association, Inc., and the entire Northern Neck 
community. Her sacrifice, commitment, and dedication are truly 
extraordinary, and it is my honor to recognize Rev. Dr. Barbara Cain 
today.
