                    WELCOMING REVEREND TIM CRUMPTON

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentleman from 
Arkansas (Mr. Crawford) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. CRAWFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize my friend, Pastor Tim 
Crumpton of Heber Springs, Arkansas, for his service today as guest 
chaplain of the House of Representatives.
  I have personally had the pleasure of knowing Pastor Crumpton for the 
past several years, and I am humbled by the leadership that he has 
shown his community through his dedication to God and Scripture.
  Ever since he was a young man, Pastor Crumpton has been involved in 
various ministries, and he holds a bachelor's degree and master's 
degree in Christian education. In 1995, he began traveling with his 
family, preaching in children's ministries, Christian youth camps, and 
singing in churches throughout the States and several countries abroad. 
Today, he serves as the pastor of the Cleburne County Baptist Church in 
Heber Springs, Arkansas.
  Tim and his wife, Shannon, met at a youth camp and will be 
celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary next month. They have five 
children, one daughter-in-law, and one grandson.
  Please join me in thanking Pastor Crumpton for leading us in prayer 
as today's guest chaplain of the House of Representatives.
