                      Wednesday, November 4, 2009

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Jack L. Ray, who 
for over 28 years has served as a minister and elder of the Lehman 
Avenue Church of Christ in Bowling Green, KY.
  Mr. Ray leaves a long legacy as an evangelist in the churches of 
Christ. Many generations have heard the teachings and sermons of Mr. 
Ray, and have read many of the lessons he has contributed to the 
publications of the churches of Christ.
  In his more than 50 years of service, he has worked unselfishly to 
not only help other congregations grow in size and in faith, but has 
helped new congregations establish in Kentucky.
  He is a blessing to many, including the youth in the church 
community, who he has helped lead, educate and nurture their faith. He 
is greatly loved and respected by the members of the Lehman Avenue 
Church of Christ, because of his dedication, strong faith and loving 
guidance.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to recognize Jack L. Ray for his more than 
50 years of commitment and devotion. I wish him nothing but the best in 
his future endeavors as he continues to be a blessing to others.
