Congresswoman Uifa’atali Amata has congratulated the Samoan Congregation Church at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, which is celebrating 55 years at this location.
“It is a special delight to congratulate this wonderful congregation, which celebrates an amazing 55 years of worshipping God together at Fort Myer. Your congregation is a strong part of the Samoan community in the greater DC area, and these years of faithful service bring God’s blessing on this ministry,” said Congresswoman Amata. “It’s a beautiful testimony to the Lord’s grace to his people that you’ve built this remarkable legacy of proclaiming the Word of God, God’s love for us all, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ!”
The Congresswoman continued, “As Samoans, one of our greatest strengths is that we are a people of faith. This is the most important heritage we pass down to our children and their children.
“The Bible says ‘Remove not the ancient landmark,’ and this congregation makes up a landmark to God’s glory in the DC region—a ministry that is observed by our military, testifying of the Lord’s goodness. We will never know until eternity just how much God has used this church in 55 years.”
Amata concluded, “God bless you and your families, our great military, our people back in the islands, and our Samoan churches serving faithfully everywhere.”
