  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, today, I want to recognize Pastor Ronald K. 
Benson of Greater Haven of Rest Church of God in Christ, in Michigan's 
13th District Strong, as he celebrates his fifty years of service in 
faith.
  Pastor Ronald K. Benson was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. He 
is the eldest of ten siblings. Pastor Benson is the fourth generation 
of his family to be raised in the Church of God in Christ. He was 
called to the ministry as a young man and member of the Conner Avenue 
Church of God in Christ. Pastor Benson's mission has been to be a 
faithful servant of the Lord and the people of his flock. Pastor Benson 
has served over the years in many capacities; he is the Superintendent 
of the Progressive District, Northeast Michigan Jurisdiction, Executive 
Secretary and Liaison to the late Honorable Bishop P.A. Brooks, 
Northeast Michigan Jurisdiction, Finance Committee member and Trustee 
Board member and Secretary.
  Pastor Benson possesses a true passion for community service. He has 
assisted and coordinated numerous programs and events, including an 
annual school supplies giveaway, winter coats for children in need 
program, and a community health screening fair. He also spearheaded the 
creation of a resource center for adults. The 13th Congressional 
District is grateful for Pastor Benson's compassion and humble spirit 
by the many people he has helped on his journey.
  Please join me in celebrating Pastor Ronald K. Benson for fifty years 
of service to Greater Haven of Rest Church of God in Christ and the 
community of Detroit.
