continues to be a place where citizens are touched spiritually, 
mentally and physically through outreach ministries and community 
partnership to aid in building up our District; and
  Whereas, this remarkable and tenacious Church of God has given hope 
to the hopeless, fed the needy and empowered our community for the past 
twenty (20) years; and
  Whereas, this Church has produced many spiritual warriors, people of 
compassion, people of great courage, fearless leaders and servants to 
all, but most of all visionaries who have shared not only with their 
Church, but with DeKalb County their passion to spread the gospel of 
Jesus Christ; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this
