                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 31, 2021

  Mr. PERRY. Madam Speaker, I am privileged to recognize Reverend 
Robert Dimlich upon the occasion of his 90th Birthday, and his ongoing 
ministries as a pastor, both at home and abroad.
  After completing his studies at Washington Bible College in 1972, 
earning a Bachelor's Degree in Pastoral Theology, Rev. Dimlich pastored 
four churches from Shrewsbury, Massachusetts (1973 to 1976) to 
Charlestown, New Hampshire (1976 to 2002). He took his family to 
Stuttgart, Germany for six and a half years to pastor the Bible Church, 
at which he ministered to an English-speaking congregation of U.S. 
Service Members, government contractors, and families who were 
associated with the four U.S. military installations in the area.
  Now residing in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Rev. Dimlich is the interim 
Pastor of the Bressler Bible Church, where he's served for nearly six 
years.
  Rev. Dimlich also maintains a ministry of letter writing to reach 
individuals facing challenges, to include prison outreach. He aims to 
instill the Spirit of God to the incarcerated, while equipping them 
with the tools necessary to live a more productive and God-fearing way 
of life as they return to society.
  Rev. Dimlich's ministry has been marked with a desire to meet the 
needs of others, with a heart of humility. He seeks to bring no fame, 
fortune, or honor to himself, but simply to reflect the mind of Christ 
by obeying His Heavenly Father's will.
  I am honored to commend Reverend Robert Dimlich on his many successes 
in communities in and outside of our Nation, and his lifelong 
commitment to the Church. I wish him all of God's blessings as he 
celebrates his 90th Birthday, and wish him many more happy, healthy, 
and faithful adventures in days to come.
