Mercy Chinwo and Husband Pastor Blessed Uzochikwa Express Gratitude to President Joe Biden for Lifetime Service Award
Gospel music artist Mercy Chinwo and her husband, Pastor Blessed Uzochikwa, have expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the outgoing President of the United States, Joe Biden, for his unwavering service to humanity. In a statement released on Tuesday, the couple acknowledged Biden for his recognition of their contributions to America through their music.
In October 2024, President Biden, 82, honored Chinwo and Uzochikwa with the prestigious President’s Lifetime Service Award. This accolade celebrates individuals who have shown a lifelong commitment to volunteerism and efforts that strengthen the nation. The award highlights the couple’s dedication to uplifting lives through their ministry and music, impacting communities both in the United States and globally.
In their statement, Mercy and Blessed referenced a passage from Ecclesiastes 3:1: “To everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.” The couple reflected on the importance of leaving a meaningful legacy, emphasizing the values, lives, and positive change one imparts to others. They expressed deep appreciation for Biden’s leadership, saying, “As President Joe Biden’s time in office draws to a close, we are reminded of the passage of time and the seasons of life. Each chapter, no matter how significant, eventually gives way to the next.”
Mercy and Blessed further conveyed their thanks to both President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, honoring their efforts to advocate for service and community impact. They closed their message by wishing the outgoing leaders love and peace as they step into the next phase of their lives.
Since their marriage in August 2022, Mercy Chinwo and Blessed Uzochikwa have co-owned Grace and Truth Nation, a music label that has nurtured numerous gospel artists.
This recognition marks another milestone in their ongoing journey of impacting lives through their ministry and music.
