  Mr. LaHOOD. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor Dr. Keith D. Thibo, 
who celebtates forty years pastoring at Bay View Baptist Church in 
Washington, Illinois and fifty years in full-time ministry on Match 2,

  Born and raised in Michigan, Pastor Thibo first attended Bob Jones

Divinity from Hyles-Anderson College.
  Pastor Thibo met and married his wife, Christine, on December 20, 
1978. He was called to Bay View Baptist Church in March of 1985 and, 
with the support of his wife and daughters, he founded King's Kids 
Clubs, a children's Bible memorization program. King's Kids Clubs has 
impacted over 2,000 churches in over 100 countries around the world and 
thousands of young people. Pastor Thibo has also authored four books on 
Bible Doctrine and Apologetics. His ministry has not only shaped the 
lives of his congregants but has made a lasting impact on faith 
worldwide.
  Pastor Thibo's remarkable life of service, faith, and leadership will 
continue to inspire all who have been touched by his ministry. Please 
join me in thanking Pastor Thibo for his many years of service.
