                        Tuesday, August 9, 2022

  Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the leadership 
of Dick Eastman at Every Home for Christ in Colorado Springs, Colorado. 
With offices in over 150 nations, Every Home is a global ministry 
committed to reaching everyone with the gospel.
  Dick has faithfully served at Every Home for over 40 years, 34 of 
them as the ministry's international president. During those years, 
Every Home opened more than 100 new ministry offices worldwide, saw the 
gospel reach more than two billion homes globally, and planted at least 
400,000 new believer fellowships called Christ Groups.
  In his role with Every Home, Dick has traveled more than 100 times 
around the world. Under his leadership, the ministry established its 
headquarters, The Jericho Center, in Colorado Springs, which has become 
a hub of prayer for the nations and ministry partnerships in our 
community. Dick has labored tirelessly to develop partnerships that 
span denominations, bringing together the Church in the United States 
and around the world for the sake of the gospel.
  Dick has always been passionate about prayer and has developed 
numerous practical programs, resources, and teachings to call the world 
to worship. His Change the World School of Prayer is a multi-part 
seminar that has trained more than two million Christians in 120 
nations on the power of prayer.
  In addition to his leadership with Every Home, Dick is the author of 
numerous books on prayer and evangelism. He also serves as a founding 
member and president of America's National Prayer Committee. Several 
former presidents have invited Mr. Eastman to the Oval Office for 
prayer, advice, and fellowship.
  Dick will continue serving the Every Home ministry as its chief 
prayer officer, providing spiritual and practical support for the 
organization as it moves into the future. He is truly a spiritual 
father in the Pikes Peak region, our Nation, and the world.
  As Dick transitions into his new role with Every Home, it is my 
privilege to honor and thank him for his faithful service in Colorado 
Springs and across the globe.
