    WELCOMING PASTOR GUILLERMO MALDONADO, KING JESUS INTERNATIONAL 
                        MINISTRY, MIAMI, FLORIDA

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Florida, 
Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart, is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. MARIO DIAZ-BALART of Florida. Madam Speaker, Pastor Guillermo 
Maldonado is the founder of Rey Jesus International Ministry in Miami, 
Florida. It is recognized as the largest Hispanic church in the entire 
country.
  He, along with his wife, Ana Maldonado, who is joining us today in 
the gallery, are spiritual leaders for so many in our community. His 
dedication and commitment to serving God and to serving his fellow man 
is, frankly, unparalleled.
  It's a great honor, a huge honor to have Pastor Maldonado as our 
guest chaplain in the House today, for he is truly an inspiring figure. 
I am so glad that this House is able to benefit from the spiritual 
guidance that so many of us in south Florida have been able to do over 
the years.
