🎥 Holy Ghost Throwback of our Late General Supervisor Emeritus, Mother Willie Mae Rivers
💐Mother Rivers received her formal education in the Berkeley and Charleston County School Systems.
💐Her Christian experience began as a child. She attended the Mt. Zion AME Church Sunday School. Because of her interest and dedication, she represented her church as a delegate to many conventions. The presiding Elder remarked, “This child will one day be a great leader; she has a mark on her life.”
💐At the age of fifteen, June 26, 1941, the very lovely Willie Mae Smalls was united in holy matrimony to Mr. David Rivers. Their marriage lasted just short of 56 years until his demise May 15, 1997. This union was blessed with twelve children; two sons and daughters.
💐In 1946, Mother Rivers attended a revival one night and after hearing the gospel preached (bythe husband and wife team, Supt. Jacob C. & Missionary Francena Dantzler) she believed and was baptized in the Holy Ghost.
💐Mother Rivers was appointed and installed as the International General Supervisor in April 1997 and named International General Supervisor Emerita in 2017.
💐She went to be with the Lord peacefully on July 26, 2024, at the age of 98 in Goose Creek, South Carolina.
Continued prayers to her family and all that loved her!🙏🏾
