It's a great honor today to introduce to the House our Guest Chaplain, Dr. John Reynolds of Orange City, Florida. To our good fortune in Florida, he was invited by four families to found a church in Orange City, Florida, in 1996. It now has 1,500 members--one of the largest congregations in Volusia County in central Florida--and supports hundreds of missionaries worldwide. In addition to his pastoral work, Dr. Reynolds has preached at conferences across the Nation and foreign countries. His leadership and willingness to help others is an inspiration to us all. Dr. Reynolds graduated in 1964 from Tennessee Temple College in Chattanooga and started his church ministry. He returned to Temple Baptist Seminary and graduated in 1968. His life experiences include many positions, which include president of a Christian recording company, vice-president of development at his alma mater, and minister of music. Dr. Reynolds married his lovely wife, Becky, in 1964. They have four children, two of whom are preachers. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in welcoming Dr. Reynolds and his wife, Becky. We thank him for offering this morning's opening prayer in the United States House of Representatives. ____________________
