                     WELCOMING DR. JOHN S. REPSOLD

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentlewoman from 
Washington (Mrs. Rodgers) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mrs. RODGERS of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I thank my pastor, Pastor 
John Repsold from Spokane, Washington, for opening the House in prayer 
this morning.
  Pastor John has had a lifetime heart for prayer, the call to humble 
ourselves and pray. He currently pastors Mosaic Fellowship in downtown 
Spokane, bringing the heart of God to the heart of our city. He also 
leads Spokane Prays, calling our community to unite in prayer.
  I thank Pastor John and recognize his wife, Sandy, and their family, 
their beautiful children, grandchildren, and friends who have traveled 
across the country to be here this morning.
  It is written in Micah 6:8: ``What does the Lord require of thee? To 
act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.''
  Pastor John and Sandy Repsold have been faithful servants of the 
Lord.
  Mr. Speaker, Albert Einstein once suggested that prayer is the most 
powerful force to be explored. Pastor John is helping us do that. I 
thank God and ask God to answer his prayer today in the people's House 
and for the United States of America.
