| ministerial service; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A native of Macon, Georgia, Dr. Reynolds accepted | ||
| his spiritual path while still a young boy and a member of the | ||
| Little Rock Baptist Church in his hometown; he earned a | ||
| bachelor's degree in sociology, master's degrees in both divinity | ||
| and theology, and a doctoral degree in philosophy, and he was | ||
| licensed and ordained at the Antioch Baptist Church in Augusta, | ||
| Georgia; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Dr. Reynolds served with distinction as a chaplain | ||
| in the United States Army with pastoral responsibilities at bases | ||

| the Hohenfels Training Area in Germany; he retired from the Army | ||
| in 1996; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In 1997, Pastor Reynolds established Greater | ||
| Vision Community Church in Killeen; over the years, the church | ||

| congregation of more than 1,200; under his leadership, the church | ||

| benefited the community; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Over the years, this accomplished scholar and | ||
| theologian has shared his ministry and spiritual teachings with | ||
| places of worship in the United States, Germany, Israel, and | ||
| Kenya, and his outreach initiatives have given hope to countless | ||

| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
