“it is my honor to help host our guest Chaplain from Arizona, Rev. Donna Kafer. On behalf of Senator McCain and myself, I thank the Senate Chaplain and all others who have been so courteous to Reverend Kafer on her visit to Washington. She, I understand from the Chaplain, is the first legislative chaplain to provide the opening prayer in the Senate and only the second woman to have done so. There are milestones achieved today, and we appreciate her being with us. She has been the chaplain at the Arizona State Legislature for over 10 years through her nonprofit organization called Leadership Challenge of Arizona. She also serves as the Arizona area coordinator of the Daughters of Destiny Network, which is a women's prison ministry based out of Colorado Springs. She travels throughout the United States sharing her testimony with incarcerated women, encouraging them and sharing the freedom that is offered through the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Donna is an Arizona native. She and her husband Ross, a firefighter paramedic for almost 20 years, live in the Phoenix metropolitan area and have a daughter, Andrea Elizabeth. It is our proud opportunity to help to host her today and thank her for opening the Senate with that beautiful prayer.”
