I rise today to honor the 75th birthday celebration of the first lady and co-pastor of Miracle Missions Full Gospel Church, Zandra Lewis, a remarkable woman of faith, service, and compassion. For over five decades, she has faithfully ministered alongside her husband, Pastor Dr. James A. Lewis III. Together, they have built a spiritual home grounded in prayer, love, and community, but Lady Zandra's impact goes far beyond the pulpit. Lady Zandra is a counselor to women and teens in crisis, a tireless advocate for our most vulnerable, and, above all, a selfless spiritual resource for those who need it most. Lady Zandra leads not just with words but through action, meeting people where they are, loving them as they are, and lifting them up with boundless grace and compassion. She lives her life grounded in faith, forgiveness, and a deep sense of joy. For Lady Zandra, family is everything, and nothing is more important. She is the proud mother of four, grandmother to eight, and great-grandmother to six, but her love doesn't stop there. Over the years, she has opened her heart to so many others who now lovingly call her mom. That says everything about the type of person that she is. As we celebrate her 75th birthday, we give thanks not only for what she has done but for what she will do in the many years ahead. We look forward, with gratitude, to all that is yet to come.
