COMMEMORATING 25 YEARS OF SERVICE FOR TRINITY BAPTIST COMMUNITY CHURCH 
                             INTERNATIONAL

  (Mr. HULTGREN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HULTGREN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate 25 years of 
faithful service carried out by members at Trinity Baptist Community 
Church International in Crystal Lake, Illinois.
  Founded in 1991 by Senior Pastor Bishop Dr. Michael J. Love, the 
church has been a light to the surrounding community and to people 
around the world, demonstrating in word and deed Christ's command to 
love one's neighbor as oneself.
  Through a myriad of initiatives, members have provided job skills 
training to struggling workers and relief to the impoverished.
  Bishop Love's prison outreach ministry is well known to McHenry 
County and is a respected partner to the McHenry County Correctional 
Facility. Their diligence demonstrates the integral role faith plays in 
our local communities by bringing people together, united by common 
beliefs to help each other.
  Like the Good Samaritan, they understand that ``neighbor'' sometimes 
includes those outside of their communities. That is why they have been 
involved with over 100 ministries across the globe, sharing the gospel 
and serving the people of Haiti, India, and the Dominican Republic, 
among others.
  May God bless Trinity Baptist in its next 25 years of service.
