First Lady T. Spain

Lady Spain was born and raised in Fayetteville North Carolina. After graduating from High school, Lady Spain joined the Army, completed her initial entry training, and attended her first duty station in 1994 where she met and married the love of her life at the young age of 19. Shortly after marriage, Lady Spain gave her life to the Lord and remains devoted to this day.

She is the mother of four children, two boys and two girls. Lady Spain was honorably discharged from the Army in 1999 and raised her children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. After the loss of a child, the Spirit of God compelled her to pursue a career as a Registered Nurse. Throughout the years as a wife, mother, and godly friend to all who showed themselves friendly, Lady Spain would come to know and love God in the most intimate way while raising a family and building a godly home. Under the leadership and unction of Holy Spirit, Lady Spain and husband, Pastor James Spain would open In His Hands Church of Worship doors as a “church with no walls”.

As of the current, Lady Spain continues to chase after God in order to be a “re-presentation” of him in the earthly ministry assigned to her hands.
