                   HONORING KATY CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES

  (Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, with Easter around the corner, I rise to heap 
praise on an icon in Katy, Texas, in Fort Bend County. Her name is 
Deysi Crespo. She is the CEO of Katy Christian Ministries, otherwise 
known as KCM.
  KCM has one holy mission: transforming life through God's grace and 
generosity of the community.
  KCM has 52 member churches, partners. Deysi started there as a 
volunteer in the resale shop in 2007.
  Deysi is a living, breathing example that the American Dream comes 
through faith. At 7 years old, she left rampant poverty in Central 
America for Katy, Texas. After a few months, she no longer hungered for 
food.
  Deysi had a building hunger inside of her body to end poverty for 
others and intervene in crisis with God's love. The rest is history. 
Under Deysi's leadership, KCM earned a four-star rating from Charity 
Navigator and the Hurricane Harvey Response Award from the Houston Food 
Bank.
  If you are in Katy this March, say hola, or hello, to Deysi. She will 
be at the Katy Charity Bubble Run. That is set on March 28 in Katy, 
Texas, and Deysi guarantees the love of Christ will be waiting for all 
who come to the Bubble Run.
