Rev. Wes Davis left the beaches of California in the early 1990s to pastor a small church in Kansas in the town of Riverton. He helped to construct the building that is the Riverton Friends Church in Cherokee County, and he helped to grow the congregation from about 100 to nearly 400 people. He did this while sharing his knowledge and faith from around the world, from Haiti to Liberia to Hungary. In addition to being a pastor, family man, and missionary, Pastor Davis is the executive director of STOA Ministries. STOA in Greek means 'porch.' In Solomon's day, people gathered on area porches to discuss theology and their faith. Wes Davis is a man of faith who has made the world his porch, always striving to help others learn God's grace. Pastor Wes Davis, thank you for expanding your porch to the Halls of Congress today.

without the 1944 GI Bill, I would not be standing here today. The GI Bill educated my dad after he came home from World War II. And today is his 86th birthday; so happy birthday, Dad. The GI Bill paid for his tuition, his room, his books…
