   05/24/11  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 103)

TO HONOR THE REVEREND TONY L. HUMBERT, JR., PASTOR OF NEW FORKSVILLE BAPTIST CHURCH IN HONEA PATH, FOR HIS MORE THAN TEN YEARS OF GOSPEL MINISTRY AND TO WISH HIM GOD'S RICHEST BLESSINGS AS HE CONTINUES TO SERVE THE LORD.

Whereas, it is with great pleasure that the South Carolina House of Representatives honors those individuals who give tirelessly of themselves to succor the souls of men; and

Whereas, the Reverend Tony L. Humbert, Jr., pastor of New Forksville Baptist Church in Honea Path, stands among their number as an outstanding minister of the Gospel, one much admired by colleagues, congregation, and area residents at large; and

Whereas, Reverend Humbert was born in the state of New York and reared in Greenville. He received his earliest education in the Greenville County Public Schools, graduated from Greenville Academy, and furthered his studies at North Greenville University and Martin Webb American Baptist College. Having graduated from Morris College Theological Seminary's Greenville extension, he is now pursuing further education; and

Whereas, believing strongly in active community involvement, Reverend Humbert currently serves on the executive board of the Tumbling Shoals Baptist Association in Laurens County and is a member of the National Baptist Convention USA, Inc., NAACP, and Baptist Ministers Fellowship; and

Whereas, Reverend Humbert is the proud husband of Treva M. Wilson Humbert and supportive father of three children, Tony, Tyesha, and Trevarius Humbert; and

Whereas, he was called into the ministry in January 2000, more than a decade ago, and was licensed to preach the Gospel in September 2000. He began his first pastorate in June 2001 and was ordained in August 2001. Having earlier pastored New Liberty Baptist Church in Fountain Inn, Tony Humbert currently serves as minister of New Forksville Baptist Church in Honea Path; and

Whereas, noted as a humble, courageous man of Christian character, one of whom it truly may be said, "Well done, good and faithful servant," Pastor Humbert has demonstrated to others how to be "steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord"; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives, cognizant of his many years of spiritual nourishment of the people of South Carolina, wishes to express its grateful thanks to Reverend Humbert and wish him God's best as he continues to run the race the Lord has set before him. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, honor the Reverend Tony L. Humbert, Jr., pastor of New Forksville Baptist Church in Honea Path, for his more than ten years of Gospel ministry and wish him God's richest blessings as he continues to serve the Lord.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to the Reverend Tony L. Humbert, Jr.
