  Mr. PERRY. Madam Speaker, I'm honored to recognize Pastor Samonia 
Whisonant for achieving the rank of Apostle-Elect. Pastor Whisonant's 
remarkable work has had an incredible impact on our Harrisburg 
community via her efforts with the Mountain Be Removed Outreach Center.
  Pastor Whisonant is the co-founder and leader of Harrisburg's 
(formerly Washington, D.C. Mountain Be Removed Outreach Center, founded 
in October 1998. The Center aims to be the largest distribution center 
of food, clothing, and household supplies in Harrisburg. Although 
Pastor Whisonant was not raised in the church, she was well known for 
her wisdom and sage advice--the same character traits that she embodies 
as she now leads God's people through her work.
  Pastor Whisonant has taught and preached God's Word for over 27 
years. She's committed to equipping and training developing prophets 
and leaders. Her foundation in ministry was birthed through Prison 
Outreach, serving 15 years by empowering and instructing inmates 
throughout Maryland. Through her selfless work in Maryland's 
Montgomery, Prince George's, and Anne Arundel Counties, she spread the 
word of God while also teaching inmates valuable life skills to aid in 
their integration back into society.
  Pastor Whisonant has walked in the Office of the Prophet for ten 
years; her tagline: ``Your Prophet Through the Process.'' She's been 
called to help the Body of Christ reach their divine destiny safely and 
without missing the necessary details that form and develop them into 
becoming mature Apostolic and Prophetic people.
  In addition to her work with the Center, she is an entrepreneur, 
author, speaker, mentor and certified aromatherapist. Pastor Whisonant 
is the wife of Pastor Carlton Whisonant (co-founder M.B.R.O.C.), and 
the mother to two beautiful children, Davon Brooks and Elder-Elect 
Chante Whisonant (vice president, M.B.R.O.C.). Her favorite scripture 
is John 10:10, ``I have come that they might have life, and that they 
might have it more abundantly.''
  I am humbled and privileged to honor Pastor Whisonant as she is 
recognized as Apostle-Elect. She sets the standard for all to follow. 
The work of organizations like Mountain Be Removed Outreach Center is 
significant, and strengthens our communities and those around us. I 
commend Pastor Samonia Whisonant for her tireless, selfless, and 
faithful efforts, and wish her continued Godspeed on her journey.
