    WELCOMING REVEREND CHRIS GEESLIN, HARVEST CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP, 
                             FREDERICK, MD

  (Mr. BARTLETT of Maryland asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BARTLETT of Maryland. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to 
introduce to my colleagues a constituent and a friend, Pastor Chris 
Geeslin.
  Pastor Geeslin is a graduate of the Evangel Seminary of Harrisonburg, 
Virginia, with a Master's degree in theological studies, and is 
currently a doctoral candidate at the Wagner Institute in Colorado 
Springs, Colorado.
  Pastor Chris resides in Frederick, Maryland, with his wife of 15 
years, Maryellen and their four children. Pastor Chris started the 
Frederick Worship Center, an evangelical trans-
denominational church in Frederick 19 years ago. His church was 
instrumental in starting the Crisis Pregnancy Center, my favorite 
charity; the Downtown Community Church, a ministry to the inner-city of 
Frederick; and most recently has completed a merger with the Word of 
Life Church, now called the Harvest Christian Fellowship.
  Pastor Chris is also the executive director of Servant Ministries, a 
hub-ministry for pastors, intercessors, and ministry leaders who desire 
to be networked in prayer for their community, city, and national 
leader so that ``none should perish.''
  Please join me in welcoming Pastor Chris Geeslin.
