                        Wednesday, July 24, 2024

  Mr. TORRES of New York. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize the 
remarkable Superintendent Jay Gooding, Sr. for being a pillar of our 
community for decades. Pastor Gooding was raised in the Bronx and 
continues to give back to his home in so many ways.
  Superintendent Gooding begin his pastoral journey when he preached 
his first sermon in 1993 at Miracle Revival Temple. Only three years 
later Pastor Gooding established the Fellowship Tabernacle Ministries 
Church of God in Christ. After 13 years of ministry, he was appointed 
by his father to serve as Pastor at Miracle Revival Temple. As 
Superintendent in the Church of God in Christ Pastor Gooding oversees 5 
churches and serves as their Vice Chairman to the Urban and Civic 
Affairs Department.
  Aside from the positive impact of his ministry, Superintendent 
Gooding assisted a host of community organizations. He sat on the Board 
of Directors of the Bronx Business Alliance, served on community board 
11, and currently works as the Director of Community Outreach for 
Jacobi Hospital's SUV (Stand Up to Violence) program. Pastor Gooding's 
work has touched so many different community members and I am forever 
grateful.
  I thank Superintendent Gooding for all of his wonderful work for the 
Bronx and the people who make up the community. I look forward to 
hearing about the Pastor's continued successes and positive impacts on 
the Bronx.
