A house RESOLUTION

to recognize and honor Pastor Allen Dawkins of 
Spartanburg County for over thirty-five years of faithful Ministry and service 
to Believers' Fellowship Assemblies of God.

Whereas, it is 
altogether fitting and proper that the members of the South Carolina House of 
Representatives should pause in their deliberations to express their gratitude 
to Pastor Allen Dawkins for his significant contributions to Believers' 
Fellowship Assemblies of God and the Spartanburg community; and

Whereas, Pastor Allen 
Dawkins is the co-founder and senior pastor of Believers' Fellowship Assemblies 
of God located in Spartanburg. God called Allen Dawkins into pastoral ministry 
in 1985, and in September of 1990, the Lord spoke to the hearts of Allen Dawkins 
and his beloved wife Karen Dawkins to step into the senior pastor position of a 
church that was on the verge of seeing a great move of God; and

Whereas, Pastor Dawkins 
is a graduate of the Christian Life School of Theology, where he earned a Bachelor 
of Theology degree, and he recently received the South Carolina Assemblies of 
God District Council Ordination Certificate; and 

Whereas, Pastor Allen 
Dawkins is the father of three wonderful sons, Tharius, Terence, and Kendal, 
and the proud grandfather to two sweet grandchildren; and

Whereas, Pastor Dawkins 
has been in full-time ministry at Believers' Fellowship Assemblies of God for 
more than thirty-one years. Under his great leadership, the membership of 
Believers' Fellowship has grown substantially. Believers' Fellowship serves as 
an outstanding model and leading example for all ministries that have a deep 
compassion and concern for the lost. They are committed to graciously investing 
their time and effort into the lives of others; and 

Whereas, Pastor Dawkins 
has a unique teaching ability and a heartfelt preaching style that continuously 
inspires his congregation to reach for higher heights in the Lord. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, recognize and honor Pastor Allen Dawkins of Spartanburg 
County for over thirty-five years of faithful ministry and service to 
Believers' Fellowship Assemblies of God.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Pastor Allen Dawkins.

----XX----
