      HONORING THE LIFE AND FAITHFUL SERVICE OF DR. PAUL CHINCHEN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MICHAEL GUEST

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 15, 2022

  Mr. GUEST. Madam Speaker, the Lord calls us all for His purpose 
according to his plan. Some are called to heal, such as doctors and 
nurses; others are called to instruct, such as teachers and professors; 
and some are called by God to dedicate their lives to spread the Gospel 
to the world, such as ministers and missionaries. Each of us has a 
purpose in God's plan and that small role is monumentally important in 
our service to our Heavenly Father and our family in Christ.
  When I met Paul Chinchen, I knew his role in God's plan was 
different. I met a man whose role was not simply as one who cared for 
others, as a missionary, or as a leader. His role in God's plan was 
bigger. God had chosen him to do all of these things and much more, and 
in our meeting I could see that the Lord worked through Paul to 
accomplish His mission. In working to expand the African Bible College 
to Malawi and Uganda, the Lord worked through Paul to develop a place 
for thousands to learn in order to better themselves and their 
communities. By developing the ABC Mission Hospital in Malawi, Paul 
built a facility where doctors and nurses could work to heal and 
comfort those who had fallen ill. As a missionary, Paul worked to 
spread the Word of God to Africa. I am inspired by Paul's words that 
exemplify his work so well. ``Do something you love, do something 
engaging, and do something now.''
  1 Chronicles 16:24 calls us to ``declare His glory among the nations, 
His marvelous deeds among all peoples.'' Paul's life was a testimony to 
people across the world of the greatness of our Heavenly Father. In the 
New Testament, John encourages the Church not to love with words or 
speech but with actions. Paul's life is an example to everyone who knew 
him of how to serve through our actions.
  The great state of Mississippi is proud to call Paul one of its own. 
I am honored to have known Paul. Although his mission on this earth is 
complete, I have faith that the Lord will continue to use Paul's life 
and his example as a part of His divine plan. I will continue to be 
humbled by his incredible service to our Lord and grateful for his 
life. Paul's life is an example of how to serve others, boldly sharing 
the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations, and of the great deeds that 
men can accomplish when the Lord works through those that He has chosen 
for His plan.
