A concurrent RESOLUTION

to request the department of TRANSPORTATION name woodville road in florence county "bishop donald hyman road" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this road containing these words.

Whereas, Bishop Donald Hyman was born on January 23, 1950, the only son to Mose and Melvene Hyman in Pamplico, South Carolina. He inherited a rich legacy in teaching God's people. He departed his earthly life on April 21, 2021; and

Whereas, he was raised in a Christian home where he carried these values throughout his life and imparted these values into the lives of the members of his family; and

Whereas, Bishop Hyman received his formal education in the public schools of Florence County, graduating in 1968 from Gibbs High School; and

Whereas, in 1969, Bishop Hyman met his sweetheart and best friend, Christine Stuckey, and united in holy matrimony on April 4, 1970. This union was blessed with three children: Sheryl, Garcea, and Aristarchus Donte; and

Whereas, as a young student of the word, he enrolled in the Bethel Bible Institute. There, he received an associate degree in religious studies. He furthered his education at Florence-Darlington Technical College; and

Whereas, in 2004, he received his doctor of divinity and certification as a Christian counselor from the International Overcoming School of Religion in Columbia, South Carolina; and

Whereas, Bishop Hyman was employed for thirty-four years at Francis Marion University before retiring in 2016; and

Whereas, Bishop Hyman was an example of servanthood. He served as an assistant pastor of Bethel Apostolic Church under the tutelage of his spiritual father, Dr. U. I. McCall. In 1991 he founded Judea Apostolic Church in Florence, South Carolina, and the Greater Cornerstone Apostolic Church in 2003 in Magnolia, North Carolina; and

Whereas, he was an executive board member of the College of Bishops of the United Churches of Jesus Apostolic, Inc. (UCJA), and held the position of Vice Presider and Treasurer. He served as Jurisdictional Prelate of the South Carolina Regional Diocese of the UCJA; and

Whereas, Bishop Donald Hyman was very involved in his community. He began an annual "Give a Hand" program that dispenses food, clothing, toys, and toiletries to those in need and a "Back to School" program that gives free school supplies to needy students. Because of his humanitarian efforts, Bishop Hyman received a proclamation from the Mayor of the City of Florence designating March 15th as Bishop Dr. Donald Hyman's Day in the City of Florence; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to recognize the lifelong commitment of this son of South Carolina to improving the lives of the people of his community and this State by having a road dedicated in his honor in Florence County. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of Transportation name Woodville Road in Florence County "Bishop Donald Hyman Road" and erect appropriate markers or signs containing these words.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation
