A RESOLUTION
To commend Pastor George Green Jr. of the House of Healing Outreach Church upon his
revival of evangelism within the Mid-City community of New Orleans.
WHEREAS, it is with great respect of purpose that the Senate of the Legislature of
Louisiana does hereby commend the good works and spiritual guidance provided to the
community by George Green Jr., pastor and teacher at one of the fastest growing churches
in New Orleans, the House of Healing Outreach Church, established in 2008; and
WHEREAS, it was at that time that Pastor Green and his wife, Valerie, began to
advance God's work and experience expansive growth with a flock that now numbers over
two hundred parishioners; and
WHEREAS, the sacred seeds of love and redemption sown by Pastor Green have
taken root in the hearts of his congregation; and
WHEREAS, from the sanctuary of the worship center in the very heart of Mid-City,
many lost souls have been saved, called to the Lord's service, rescued from the perils of
drugs, hopelessness, and ungodliness, and then set upon the path of righteousness; and
WHEREAS, for the past four years, the ministries have provided counseling services
for marriage and family relations, substance abuse, and financial well being, and have
provided a beacon to light the way for faithful servants of the Lord of every age and in every
circumstance; and
WHEREAS, in March 2012, the House of Healing Outreach Church will undertake
a special prayer revival, an event to take God's message to the streets, calling upon one and
all to address through prayer the troubled issues of poverty and violence that plague the city;
and
WHEREAS, the House of Healing Outreach Church is at the center of this
movement, with a mission to take back the fallen and downtrodden and return them to God's
grace; and SR NO. 16	ENROLLED

low and the highest of the high, to pray together for a ground swell of hope, to place Mid-
City and all of New Orleans on the path of righteousness and success once again; and

congregation and its leadership for the good works, spiritual guidance, and Christian
fellowship it provides to all who come by faith to "worship at the cross"; and
WHEREAS, the House of Healing Outreach Church continues its community-based
ministry and strives to bring spiritual healing and restoration to the city of New Orleans
while also spreading the gospel of God's love and grace.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Senate of the Legislature of Louisiana

upon his revival of evangelism within the Mid-City community of New Orleans.
