In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It honors Apostle Darryl L. Winston for his religious and community service, describing his path from serving as a chaplain assistant in the United States National Guard to leading ministry programs across Georgia over the past 40 years. The resolution lists several programs he founded, including Greater Works Ministries, the Mercy Seat Assembly, the Global Prayer Network, the Shalom Assembly, the F.R.E.D. Initiative, and the Save Our City Coalition. It formally commends him and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for him, which is standard practice for these honorary measures.
