From Mandisa’s FB – Today (10/2) would have marked Mandisa’s 48th birthday, and while we deeply miss her here on earth, we take comfort in knowing she is singing, twirling, and basking in the presence of Jesus! Mandisa was such an incredible encourager and cheerleader to everyone who knew her. If you’ve ever been uplifted by her music or inspired by her words, find time today to encourage someone as a way to celebrate her life. Happy birthday, Mandisa! We love you and we miss you!
