                   HONORING REV. DR. ROBIN WEINSTEIN

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, I am grateful for the opportunity to 
honor an outstanding member of south Jersey. Rev. Dr. Robin Weinstein 
is a true believer in human potential and harnesses that power through 
extensive work and his community involvement.
  In addition to being an associate professor at Wilmington University, 
he started the M25 Initiative to find ways to alleviate suffering, feed 
the hungry, end poverty, reduce crime, and revitalize the community.
  Dr. Weinstein is also a cofounder of the Cumberland County Code Blue 
Coalition, which provides emergency winter shelter to those who are 
very much in need.
  On top of all of these things, Dr. Weinstein serves as the founding 
pastor of Bethany Grace Community Church in Bridgeton, New Jersey. 
Under his leadership, the church has started a weekly soup kitchen, 
monthly food pantry and clothing closet, showers for the homeless, and 
many other programs that provide for the people of south Jersey who so 
desperately need them.
  His tireless efforts make an impact on the community that is felt far 
and wide.
  The people of south Jersey appreciate all you do, Dr. Weinstein.
