                        Wednesday, July 24, 2024

  Mr. TORRES of New York. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize the Reverend 
Dr. Keith Elijah Thompson. A man of God who is known across the 
community as a man who inspires, teaches, and instills hope in those 
around him. Dr. Thompson started out by leading a small home-based 
bible study for members of his community. His passion for ministry grew 
and in 1980 he became the founder and pastor of Bronx Miracle Gospel 
Tabernacle Word of Faith Ministry. Dr. Thompson's ministry continued to 
grow and later he founded the Brooklyn Miracle Gospel Tabernacle. As 
his ministry grew, Dr. Thompson's teaching and faith expanded.
  Dr. Thompson's community impact has been a blessing in the Bronx. In 
2008, he founded the Bronx Resource Community Center. This faith-based 
community institution helps to improve the lives of community members 
through skills training, technology training, and other enrichment 
programs. In 2002, because of his dedication to others, May 24th was 
declared as Bronx Miracle Gospel Tabernacle Day.
  Throughout his four decades of ministry, Keith Elijah Thompson has 
spread love, positivity, and community inside and outside of the Bronx. 
Again, I want to celebrate the work of Dr. Thompson and his ministry. 
As a community staple, I look forward to his continued positive impact.
