Sad news this Friday morning…
Mandisa passed away at her home in Nashville on Thursday. Mandisa was 47.

“It doesn’t matter how great you act or how many things you do to serve Me, you can never be worthy of My Love. No one can.
But that’s the greatest thing about My Love—you don’t have to be worthy.
It’s a gift—free and clear.
You don’t have to earn it. You just have to accept it.”
-Jesus Calling for Kids by Sarah Young
“Let your face shine on your servant;
