HE TRAVELS EXTENSIVELY THROUGHOUT KENTUCKY AND WASHINGTON D.C. AND AMERICA SPEAKING AND MINISTERING TO THOSE IN STATE AND NATIONAL GOVERNMENT. ON SUNDAY, ________________________, HE, ALONG WITH OUR CHURCH, WANT TO PRESENT YOU WITH AN AWARD OF RECOGNITION FOR YOUR FAITHFUL SERVICE IN YOUR OFFICE.

SINCERELY,
