 WHEREAS, Bishop Dr. Donald D. Maxwell, born October 17, 1943, in

and service since an early age; and

 WHEREAS, Bishop Dr. Donald D. Maxwell and Reverend Liscent B.
Maxwell of Westbury, New York, both died on Sunday, March 15, 2026; and

 WHEREAS, Both began their spiritual journeys in Jamaica, serving
diligently across mission fields, where they demonstrated unwavering
commitment to evangelism, leadership and spreading the Gospel, often
under challenging conditions; and

 WHEREAS, United in marriage on August 3, 1968, their partnership
flourished into a lifelong ministry spanning more than six decades,
raising three children and building a legacy grounded in love, faith and
service; and

ministry through the Pentecostal City Mission Church, helping to
establish and grow congregations in Brooklyn, Far Rockaway, Rosedale and
the Bronx, beginning with humble Sunday School gatherings that grew into
thriving churches; and

 WHEREAS, Bishop Dr. Donald D. Maxwell rose through the ranks of
ministry to become general overseer of the Pentecostal City Mission
Church, overseeing more than eighty-five branches internationally, while
serving as a pastor, mentor and father figure to many; and

as assistant pastor, youth leader, missionary president, chaplain,
counselor and educator, dedicating her life to uplifting others through
spiritual guidance, counseling and community care; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
mourn the death and celebrate the extraordinary lives and enduring
legacy of Bishop Dr. Donald D. Maxwell and Reverend Liscent B. Maxwell,
