“Mr. Speaker, today we welcome Pastor Tom Mullins of Christ Fellowship church in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida as House Chaplain. Pastor Mullins joins a distinguished list of clergy, who have opened our daily proceeding with prayer, including Rev. Billy Graham and the late John Cardinal O'Connor. Also, I am pleased to welcome Pastor Mullins' wife, Donna, and daughter, Noelle. For 18 years and counting, Pastor Mullins serves the 14,000 member Christ Fellowship church as its senior pastor. As senior pastor, Tom commits himself to his faith, family and community. On April 29, 1984, Tom and Donna founded Place of Hope children's home for neglected and abused children throughout the Palm Beach community. Pastor Mullins also has a desire to aid neglected children around the world through his support and work with Place of Hope International, which places children in supportive, loving homes around the world from India to Peru. Tom's work with children even includes a successful high school and collegiate career as a head football coach.”
