Written by Tribute from Mt. Zion Methodist Girls Fellowship in honour of Mrs. Emma Hammond
Mrs. Emma Hammond was a devoted and selfless servant of God whose impact reached far beyond her home church. Though she was a committed member of Ebenezer Methodist Church Madina, she lovingly adopted the Girls Fellowship of Mt. Zion Methodist Church Teiman, as her own.
With a heart full of compassion and dedication, she nurtured the girls spiritually, morally, and emotionally. She guided them with patience, encouraged them with wisdom, and played a key role in preparing and supporting them for enrollment, ensuring their growth and confidence in the church and in life. In order to speed up the enrollment which was anticipated to happen in December, she advised we resort to zoom meetings on the platform using parents phone, and Opanin Emma was the host.
Alas on Sunday …… We expected to meet up with her on zoom but we were informed she was not well. We hoped to see her the following week at the usual time when she gets better but got the shocking news that she has joined her maker on the subsequent Tuesday …. Creating a deep vacuum .
Her motherly love, generosity, and commitment to the upbringing of young girls will always be remembered. Mrs. Emma Hammond’s legacy lives on in the lives she touched and the seeds she planted.
May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Opanin da yie!!!
