SR275: SR275 Apostle Darryl L. Winston; recognize

This resolution is a ceremonial honor passed by the Georgia Senate. It does not change any law. Instead, it recounts the career of Apostle Darryl L. Winston, who entered ministry in 1986 and was ordained in 1991 at Union Temple Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. It describes his founding of Greater Works Ministries in 1995 as a youth outreach effort, along with several other organizations including the Mercy Seat Assembly, the Global Prayer Network, the Shalom Assembly, the F.R.E.D. Initiative, and the Save our City Coalition. The resolution also notes that his School of Ministry has trained more than 2,000 leaders from various denominations. The Senate formally commends him for his community work and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for him.
