HONORING THE LIFE AND FAITHFUL SERVICE OF DR. PAUL CHINCHEN

HON. MICHAEL GUEST

Mr. GUEST. Madam Speaker, the Lord calls us all for His purpose according to his plan. Some are called to heal, such as doctors and nurses; others are called to instruct, such as teachers and professors; and some are called by God to dedicate their lives to spread the Gospel to the world, such as ministers and missionaries. Each of us has a purpose in God's plan and that small role is monumentally important in our service to our Heavenly Father and our family in Christ.
When I met Paul Chinchen, I knew his role in God's plan was different. I met a man whose role was not simply as one who cared for others, as a missionary, or as a leader. His role in God's plan was bigger. God had chosen him to do all of these things and much more, and in our meeting I could see that the Lord worked through Paul to accomplish His mission. In working to expand the African Bible College to Malawi and Uganda, the Lord worked through Paul to develop a place for thousands to learn in order to better themselves and their communities. By developing the ABC Mission Hospital in Malawi, Paul built a facility where doctors and nurses could work to heal and comfort those who had fallen ill. As a missionary, Paul worked to spread the Word of God to Africa. I am inspired by Paul's words that exemplify his work so well. ``Do something you love, do something engaging, and do something now.''
1 Chronicles 16:24 calls us to ``declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples.'' Paul's life was a testimony to people across the world of the greatness of our Heavenly Father. In the New Testament, John encourages the Church not to love with words or speech but with actions. Paul's life is an example to everyone who knew him of how to serve through our actions.
The great state of Mississippi is proud to call Paul one of its own. I am honored to have known Paul. Although his mission on this earth is complete, I have faith that the Lord will continue to use Paul's life and his example as a part of His divine plan. I will continue to be humbled by his incredible service to our Lord and grateful for his life. Paul's life is an example of how to serve others, boldly sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations, and of the great deeds that men can accomplish when the Lord works through those that He has chosen for His plan.
