                        Wednesday, June 8, 2022

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable church, Abundant Life Assembly Church of Apostolic Faith, 
Inc.
  In 1978, God instructed Apostle James T. Herrington, a native of 
Sardis, Georgia, to transition from his surroundings because he had 
been assigned to a greater work. Leaving his family behind, Apostle, 
his wife, and young son moved to Grenada, Mississippi, and started what 
was then, a very humble ministry.
  Apostle James T. Herrington is the Vice President of the General 
Board of the Alliance of Apostolic Churches of Christ Jesus (AACCJ). He 
is a member of the Grenada Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance; 
Grenada Chamber of Commerce; Grenada's Chapter of 100 Black Men of 
America; and Grenada's Chapter of the Rotary Club.
  The Abundant Life Assembly Church of the Apostolic Faith, Inc. was 
literally birthed out of his heart and was the first apostolic church 
to grace the city of Grenada.
  Since the church's inception in 1982, and its humble beginning, the 
church has experienced tremendous growth and now Apostle serves as 
Senior Pastor of this assembly and Presiding Bishop and Chief Apostle 
of the Abundant Life Assembly Churches of the Apostolic Faith, Inc. 
(ALCAF) which has churches throughout the southeastern continental 
United States.
  June 2022, the Abundant Life Assembly Church of the Apostolic Faith, 
Inc. will honor its' 40-year anniversary. The ALCAF has done so much 
for the Grenada community. Through ALCAF, Apostle Herrington has 
provided a daycare for children to attend, and he has provided 
transportation to the community that needed rides to their doctor 
appointments or work. Apostle Herrington has also provided food boxes.
  We are very thankful for Abundant Life Assembly Church of Apostolic 
Faith, Inc. and Apostle James T. Herrington for all the astonishing 
things he has done for the Grenada community.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Abundant 
Life Assembly Church of Apostolic Faith, Inc. for its longevity and 
dedication to serving the community.
