Christians the world over have been tasked to live exemplary lives and exercise faith in God while alive as their deeds here in earth is what they would be remembered for.

The preacher described the late Deaconess as a devout Christian who fought a good battle while alive, noting that her good deeds will forever be remembered and her life celebrated. 









Prophet Paul emphasised the need to be intentional as a Christian and to know what course one is fighting and for whom. "You must receive Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord to be able to fight the fight of faith successfully," he said.

She was married to the late Reverend Jumbo Udo of Nung Odiong in Awa Ndon and remained a devoted Christian and member of Christ Royal Kingdom Church International until her passing on October 19, 2024.
