                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 18, 2005

  Mr. BLUNT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the career of Jay 
Scribner, who distinguished himself by his 28 years of service and 
commitment to the people of Southwest Missouri.
  After receiving his Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist 
Theological Seminary in 1977, Reverend Scribner began his service at 
the First Baptist Church in Branson, Missouri. This year, Jay and his 
wife Kay leave a much larger church at a different location and with an 
outreach around the world after 28 years of dedicated service.
  During this time, Reverend Scribner has acted as a Guest Chaplain for 
this body, participated in the Presidential Prayer Breakfast, and was 
honored with an Honorary Doctorate of Theology.
  Pastor Scribner has not only touched lives in Southwest Missouri, but 
has also served as President of the Missouri Baptist Convention and has 
been a leader in religious broadcasting and Christian education. His 
work has taken both he and his ministry to places such as Israel, 
Jordan, Egypt, Australia, Taiwan, and Iraq.
  The contributions of Reverend Jay Scribner during his years of 
service have impacted thousands of people in Southwest Missouri and 
throughout the world.
