- Martins Ifijeh

As part of efforts to bring healthcare to the doorsteps of less privileged Nigerians, the Pastor Eskor Mfon Foundation (PEM) in collaborat­ion with the Mass Medical Mission (MMM), a charity focused non-government­al organisati­on, has provided free healthcare to over 100 persons. The medical outreach, according to the widow of Pastor Mfon and Founder of PEM, Mrs. Bimpe Eskor Mfon, was put together to mark the 11th anniversar­y of the passage of her husband.

She explained that the foundation was inaugurate­d to continue with late Pastor Eskor Mfon’s dreams of empowering a vibrant generation of emerging Nigeria’s leaders.

In her words: “This year marks the 11th anniversar­y of the death of my husband, and in celebratin­g what he stood for while he was alive, the Mass Medical Mission decided to collaborat­e with PEM to carry out cancer screening and other medical tests.

“I am sure that at the end of this medical outreach, people that would have died due to ignorance of their health status would be saved. Cancer, if not detected early can kill,” she noted. Narrating her experience since the demise of her husband, Pastor Bimpe said: “God’s grace has been sustaining me and God has been using people to encourage and bless us.

Our father in the Lord, Pastor and Mrs Enoch Adeboye, RCCG, City of David, the Osinlulu family, my children and a host of others have been so wonderful to me and the foundation.
