R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Through his skillful leadership and tireless
efforts as director of the Christian Alliance for Humanitarian Aid,
Inc., in Pearland, Jess Stokely has made numerous contributions to
his community; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Stokely is director of this four-year-old
nonprofit organization which serves the needs of people throughout

Latin America; notably, after the recent tornado disasters in
Oklahoma, its volunteers sent 28 truckloads of relief supplies to
storm victims; and
WHEREAS, Contributing in many ways to easing suffering in the
local community, the Christian Alliance held the "Denver Harbor
Community Festival" last summer to provide free medical services
and food, and this past December volunteers distributed food to the
less fortunate in Jacinto City; most recently, on May 17, 2003, the
group held a health festival in the Clinic San Jose and gave free
eye exams and tests for diabetes and other diseases; and
WHEREAS, The important work of this worthwhile organization
will continue as the Christian Alliance plans to erect a new medical
clinic to serve numerous communities, including Galena Park,
Jacinto City, and the Port of Houston area; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Stokely is making a lasting contribution to his
community and this state through his leadership of the Christian
Alliance, and he is most deserving of special legislative
recognition; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Jess Stokely for his many contributions
to the community as director of the Christian Alliance for
Humanitarian Aid, Inc., and extend to him best wishes for the
future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Stokely as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
