Mr. BEAN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, in a world that often feels out of control, marked by anxiety and fear, how do we respond to this chaos?

Pastor Chad Weeks reminds us of a simple but powerful answer: faith.

Today, I rise to honor Pastor Chad Weeks of Russell Baptist Church in Green Cove Springs, Florida, and to thank him for serving as the House's guest chaplain.

As lead pastor of a historic church founded by his great-grandparents in 1916, Pastor Weeks carries a legacy of service. Under his leadership, Russell Baptist has become a place to find strength in adversity and hope in times of hardship.

In a season of rapid growth, he has remained steadfast in holding firm to biblical truths while investing in the next generation through thriving youth ministries and community outreach.

It is a true honor to welcome Pastor Weeks to our Nation's Capital, along with his parents, Jimmy and Joan Weeks; his wife, Ashley; and their four children: Ava, Eden, Ella, and John.

I am grateful for his friendship, Mr. Speaker, and his ministry in Clay County, Florida, and particularly for his boldness in sharing the Gospel.
