  CELEBRATING THE 19TH ANNIVERSARY OF NEW COVENANT ASSEMBLY CHRISTIAN 
                                MINISTRY

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, this past weekend marked 
the 19th Founder's Week and Church Anniversary Services for the New 
Covenant Assembly Christian Ministry of Columbia, South Carolina.
  Led by Pastor C.L. Hardy and his first lady, Cynthia Hardy, this 
ministry has risen from humble beginnings in 1984 at St. Andrews 
Community Center to an inspiring edifice changing lives across the 
midlands of South Carolina.
  Additionally, Dr. Hardy founded the NCA Community Development Center. 
Its mission is to aid, service, and develop people to reach their 
highest and fullest potential by providing special outreach programs, 
promoting educational success, and by enhancing permanent leadership.
  Dr. Hardy's success has been recognized by his appointment as 
Suffrogan Bishop in region three of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the 
World and his election as chairman of the Carolina State Council. 
However, as Dr. Hardy often says, ``It's all about the Lord, not me.''
  I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Dr. and Mrs. Hardy for 
their many achievements and wish them well for many more years of 
dedicated service to the people of both Carolinas.
