                       Tuesday, February 25, 2014

  Mr. SCHNEIDER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my good friend, 
Pastor H. Lee Jordan, Jr. on the occasion of his fourth Pastoral 
Anniversary with Greater Faith Church--Baptist (GFC) in Waukegan, 
Illinois, part of the district I represent.
  Pastor Jordan assumed leadership of the GFC in January 2010, and 
since then, he has built upon the church's already outstanding legacy. 
Pastor Jordan's dedication and passion fill the community with joy, 
spreading a message of faith, integrity and community action.
  In words and deeds, Pastor Jordan encourages his congregation to give 
back and enrich the community. Throughout his four years in Waukegan, 
Pastor Jordan has become a central figure in the community and an 
important voice of hope.
  A spirited and inquisitive soul, Pastor Jordan consistently stresses 
the importance of never settling, of constantly seeking spiritual and 
personal growth. Anything is possible with the right attitude, and 
Pastor Jordan demonstrates to all the power of this message.
  Pastor Jordan's example reaches far beyond his stirring sermons and 
moving songs. A husband, father, community leader and musician, he sets 
a daily example for his congregation and community.
  In my visits to GFC, I have been moved by Pastor Jordan's passion, 
care and joy. His vision and discipline to follow that vision are rare 
and remarkably valuable to his congregation and community.
  Pastor Jordan's commitment to his congregation and to Waukegan 
inspires everyone around him. Our communities are stronger with 
passionate, dedicated and visionary leaders like Pastor Jordan. I 
congratulate him on four years with GFC and thank him for his 
outstanding work.
