  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
commemorate Pastor Emery King's 28th anniversary serving at the Faith 
Baptist Church in Webster, Florida. I would like to extend my warmest 
congratulations to him for a job well done.
  When Pastor King first came to the church, his commitment to God and 
to his parishioners shone through immediately. It was clear even from 
the first months of his tenure that he had a unique commitment to the 
faith and to the men and women with whom he worshipped. Over the years 
Pastor King has been blessed to have a church that has grown and 
prospered under his leadership and service.
  Having spoken to many of the men and women that he has counseled and 
worshiped with over the past 28 years, I know that Pastor King's 
dedication to the Lord and to the scripture has served as an 
inspiration to thousands throughout the Sumter County community. His 
ministry has touched the hearts of many, and the Faith Baptist Church 
is a stronger institution because of his leadership.
  Mr. Speaker, Pastor Emery King's length of service to the Faith 
Baptist Church of Webster is only matched by his commitment to the Lord 
and to the men and women who rely on his counsel and wisdom. Pastor 
King is a shining example of the good that serving Jesus Christ can 
bring to our friends and families.
  I wish Pastor King the best of luck and joy as he embarks on what 
will hopefully be the next 28 years of service to God and to his 
church.
