FREDERICA S. WILSON of florida in the house of representatives Tuesday, October 6, 2026 Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Pastor S. Robert Stewart as he is consecrated to Bishop S. Robert Stewart. Pastor Sydney Robert Stewart has been an integral part of the Miami Gardens community for over four decades, actively contributing to its development and progress. For 27 years, Pastor Stewart has led the congregation of Pentecostal Tabernacle International in Miami, Florida. His impact extends beyond his role as a pastor, as he has been actively involved in effecting positive change through his passion and commitment to serving others. Pastor Stewart's tireless work and dedication towards the betterment of the community has resulted in a remarkable achievement. He has managed to unite pastors from different denominations, despite their varying religious affiliations, to come together and collaborate towards a common goal. This collaboration has led to the formation of the Miami Gardens Pastors Lifting Up Services (MGPLUS), which aims to uplift and serve the community. Through his leadership, Pastor Stewart has shown that despite our differences, we can come together for the greater good and make a positive impact in our city. Over the last 25 years, under the leadership of Pastor Stewart, Pentecostal Tabernacle has led a series of initiatives that have brought immense support and resources to the people of this dynamic community. These programs have played a vital role in improving the lives of countless individuals and families, providing them with the tools and resources necessary to thrive and succeed. Among the many programs the Ministry offers are General Educational Development (GED) classes, which allow individuals to complete their high school education and receive a diploma. The ministry also provides life skills training and workshops, which equip individuals with the necessary tools to navigate the complexities of daily life. The Ministry also recognizes the importance of business skills in today's economy and provides training and workshops to individuals seeking to acquire or enhance their business acumen. Another vital program of the ministry is the CARE Health Campaign and Community Health Fair, which provides free health screenings, as well as mental and behavioral health screenings, interventions, and referrals. The Ministry also offers support to individuals experiencing grief with the CARE for Grief Groups and the Uplift Summer Grief Camp, which served children who have experienced the loss of a loved one to death and incarceration for the past three years. Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring Bishop S. Robert Stewart for all he has achieved. ____________________
