                   APPRECIATING WATCHMEN BROADCASTING

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOE WILSON

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 2, 2025

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I am grateful to recognize 
Watchmen Broadcasting on 30 years of ministry.
  In 1995, Dorothy and Russell Spaulding felt a calling to begin a 
Christian television station in Augusta, Georgia. Now, 30 years later 
they have transformed the ministry from broadcasting locally with 1,000 
watts of power to internationally with 150,000 watts of power, 
increasing potential viewership.
  It is through faith that the Spaulding family and Watchmen 
Broadcasting have helped tens of thousands of people reach Salvation 
and have prevented more than 8,000 suicides.
  Without the generosity of ministries like Perry Stone, Channel 55 in 
Orlando, and local Networks, Watchmen Broadcasting would not be the 
meaningful success it is today.
  The Spauldings are a true testament to faith; starting with less than 
one hundred dollars and a hotel room as an office, Dorothy and Russell 
have touched the lives of many.
  Their ministry continues to represent that God uses small beginnings 
for big impact.
  Best wishes and prayers for their continued success in faith and 
ministry as they continue to influence lives and follow the plan God 
has for them.
