I am so—I’m getting goose bumps. This is the first I’ve been up here that I could see all of you. God bless you. Thank you for taking the time from your work, your families, whatever else you had to do today to come to this event that will be monumental for the State of Ohio, and you’re all a part of it. Thank you.

As a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, I am pleased to endorse the tremendous objectives of Reformation Ohio. The ambitious objectives are worthy of our sustained support and heartfelt prayers. I am particularly delighted that Reformation Ohio will be reaching out to the hurting and the less fortunate in our state, making a difference. (applause). Making a big difference with acts of compassion and mercy. I thank the members of the Board of Directors for working in such a unified effort. We are all unified as Pastor Forbes said, in this unprecedented initiative.

And, Pastor Parsley, as he founder of Reformation Ohio, would you please come forward. I have for you and the Board of Directors this morning, a commendation from the Ohio House of Representatives. (cheers, applause, whistles). I’ll read a brief portion of it:

On behalf of the members of the Ohio House of Representatives we are pleased to extend special recognition to the Center for Moral Clarity and the launch of Reformation Ohio. Over the years, the Center for Moral Clarity has made many significant contributions to the area and has earned the well deserved respect and appreciation of many. A four year initiative, Reformation Ohio will promote spiritual, revival and moral reformation, and all that is associated with the launch of this exemplary program are deserving of high praise for their unwavering dedication.

Again, thank you.
