                       Tuesday, February 23, 2016

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
tenth anniversary of the Band of Brothers Bible Study in Garden City 
and Savannah, Georgia.
  Ten years ago, Pastor Kenny Grant and five others started a support 
group for all walks of life to study God's word and help each other 
grow as Christians. Today, Band of Brothers has over two hundred in 
attendance each Friday morning at the Garden City First Baptist Church 
as well as six hundred and fifty individuals receiving weekly videos, 
in case they miss a meeting.
  Meetings every Friday morning have become a safe place for many to 
discuss issues in their life and to study more about the Bible and 
themselves in front of men who have become, for many, a second family.
  Since its beginning, I have had the privilege to be a regular member 
of the Band of Brothers Bible Study, enjoying others' company, 
listening to inspirational music, and through the Bible, growing a 
Christian community with men that I now call my friends. I want to 
congratulate Band of Brothers on their achievements and wish them 
continued success in the Garden City and Savannah Communities.
