in the house of representatives
Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record a proclamation in recognition of Apostle Berry Mae Adams, as she is honored by Heart of God Ministries, family, and friends for her many contributions to the community through 45 years of service to the Kingdom of God:
Whereas, Apostle Berry Mae Adams was born, in Sidon,
Mississippi, to the late Vernie and Thomas Lewis of Osceola,
Arkansas. In 1946, her family moved back to Arkansas to live
the farm life for ten years. In December of 1956, the family
of eleven relocated when Vernie was able to secure seasonal
work in Miami, Florida; and
Whereas, in 1961 on New Year's Eve Day, Apostle Adams
received Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior. She developed
an authentic personal relationship with Christ through
prayer, study of the Bible and serving in many capacities in
her local church. This journey led her to obtain a Doctor of
Divinity degree; and
Whereas, with 5 adults and 6 children, Apostle Adams
founded The Bible Way Prayer Mission church in 1976 where she
currently serves as Apostle of the ministry. Bible Way has
been a part of the Liberty City community for more than 45
years with its first location opening on Northwest 62nd
Street and 22nd Avenue; and
Whereas, Apostle Adams' ministry specializes in helping
hurt people. She supports the homeless by providing shelter
to them in her own home as well as in the church building.
Clothing drives, feeding the homeless, after school tutoring,
and toys for tots drives are amongst the projects initiated
through her ministry. Apostle Adams serves as an advisor to
parents whose children have become wards of the state. She
helps families to be reunited. The Bible Way Prayer Mission
holds special services that are organized and facilitated by
children to prepare the next generation for future ministry
involvement and leadership; and
Whereas, Apostle Adams works with the police department to
help prevent crimes by counseling Liberty City and Brown Sub
residents. She also works with Promise Keepers Ministry to
encourage young men and women to abstain from fornication as
a method to prevent HIV/Aids and teenage pregnancy. Apostle
Adams has poured her lifetime of learning and experience into
the people she serves; and
Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson,
a member of the United States House of Representatives,
representing the 24th Congressional District of Florida,
honor Apostle Berry Adams for all her contributions to Miami-
Dade County.
