Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate Pastor B.R. Daniels, Jr.'s 25th pastoral anniversary at the First Greater New Hope Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas. A native of Fort Worth, Pastor Daniels attended Oscar Dean Wyatt High School. After graduating high school, he answered the call of duty and enlisted in the United States Army, where he faithfully served his country for 8 years. Pastor Daniels was honorably discharged in 1992 at the rank of Sergeant E-5. In early 1993, when the First Greater New Hope Baptist Church was in search of a new pastor, Reverend Daniels was called to occupy the pulpit. The congregation knew right away that they had the right man for the job. After 25 years, Pastor Daniels has certainly left his mark not only on the church, but he works closely with so many different groups in the city of Fort Worth and is on different commissions. He does a great job. His passion and love for the ministry explain why so many follow his vision of hope. ____________________
