                      Wednesday, November 17, 2021

  Mr. MURPHY of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay a 
heartfelt tribute to Pastor James D. Corbett of Greenville, North 
Carolina, to honor his long and illustrious life in service to his God 
and country.
  In 1977, Pastor James D. Corbett became a born-again believer and 
received the baptism of the Holy Spirit while serving in the United 
States Army. After eight years of active duty in the military, God 
called Pastor Corbett into the ministry. He returned to Greenville, NC, 
where he attended Pitt Community College. Pastor Corbett later received 
a BSA degree in Accounting from East Carolina University where he was a 
two-time honor graduate. Pastor Corbett went on to earn his Doctoral 
degree in Biblical Studies and Divinity from the World Christian 
College Council in Fresno, California in December 1994. He also 
received an Honorary Degree from Covenant Theological Seminary in Creve 
Coeur, Missouri. Pastor Corbett currently serves as the Eastern 
Regional Director and Trustee for the International Convention of Faith 
Ministries.
  In 1984, Pastor Corbett and the late Pastor Delores Corbett founded 
Greenville Community Christian Church. God gave him a vision to 
minister to the whole man: spirit, soul and body. The vision includes 
reaching communities with the gospel and taking the message of Jesus 
Christ around the world. It includes mass media presentation, training 
sessions, schools for ministry, programs for the disadvantaged and a 
Christian K-12 school.
  His practical teaching is done through individualized group 
fellowships, seminars, crusades, the Word in Season devotional, CDs, 
books, radio, internet and television broadcasts. His messages are 
widely distributed throughout the world. Lives are being saved, healed 
and delivered by the power of God through his ministry. He is also an 
author of three books: Men of Honor, Tithing the Tithe and Honoring 
Your Husband-Honoring Your Wife.
  Pastor James D. Corbett and Lady Sarah were united in marriage in 
February 2013. They have five children, fourteen grandchildren and five 
great-grandchildren. Together, they help meet the needs of people by 
reaching the lost for Christ.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in honoring the accomplishments of 
Pastor James D. Corbett and recognizing all that he has done for his 
community.
