                                 ______
                                 

                   TRIBUTE TO REVEREND KENNETH MARTIN

 Mr. OSSOFF. Mr. President, I rise to commend Rev. Dr. Kenneth 
B. Martin of Antioch Baptist Church in Augusta on his retirement and 
lifelong service to the Augusta community.
  For 37 years, Rev. Martin has led a life of service and devotion as 
Antioch Baptist Church's longest serving pastor. He also served as a 
former president of the 10th district of General Missionary Baptist 
Convention. Under his leadership and spiritual guidance, the Antioch 
Baptist Church community has been able to establish more than 30 
ministries that give members of the community access to vital 
transportation, nutrition, and healthcare services. Rev. Martin has 
made it his mission to serve those around him, and his inspiring work, 
rooted in spiritual growth and development, has transformed the lives 
of many in his community.
  As Georgia's U.S. Senator, I commend and recognize Rev. Dr. Kenneth 
B. Martin for his service to the Augusta community and the State of 
Georgia and join his family, friends, congregation, and the entire 
community in celebrating his retirement.
