“I am sad. I am disappointed. Uncle was caring, nice, polite, does not get angry easily.
But he has gone to heaven so it’s okay.”

Pastor Emmanuel the Minister
"IT IS WELL"
In the spirit of service to God and community, Emmanuel wore many hats.
Pastor
Pastor Emmanuel Amissah was a devoted Christian whose life reflected deep faith, humility, and a profound love for God – and, ultimately, for all people. Until his passing, he faithfully served as Assistant Pastor at Harvest Chapel International, Nottingham (Beeston). His ministry was marked by compassion and a genuine passion for seeing lives transformed through the Word of God. He taught with clarity and conviction, and his commitment to spiritual growth and discipleship touched many lives. He was loved and respected by all, and his warmth, approachability, and consistency made him a trusted pillar within the church family. For nearly twenty years, he never missed a Sunday church service.
Community Leader
Emmanuel’s impact extended far beyond the church through his dedicated service with Harvest Community Haven (HCH), where he faithfully served as a volunteer trustee. HCH is a community interest company committed to providing social support and a safe, inclusive space for connection. Alongside others, he pioneered Starting Right, a student support programme addressing the unique challenges faced by international students. He championed their needs in Nottingham, offering practical guidance and organising tailored academic workshops. On Saturday mornings, Emmanuel was a familiar presence at HCH’s community café, supporting food bank services and warmly engaging with all who visited.
Academic
Alongside his ministry and community service, Emmanuel served with distinction as a Course Leader for the UG Economics Programmes and Principal Lecturer at Nottingham Trent University for 13 years. He was widely known for his friendliness, kindness, and unwavering support for both students and colleagues. Emmanuel took a genuine interest in his students, offering guidance, encouragement, and mentorship well beyond the classroom. He approached teaching with integrity, patience, and a commitment to excellence. A supportive colleague, he inspired confidence in those around him and was always ready to encourage and assist others. Emmanuel consistently went above and beyond what was required of him, leaving a positive and lasting impact across the Economics Department. He will be greatly missed.
Testimonials
His patience and care for others is out of this world. The day I heard he had passed I wept and throughout the day my spirit was down because I had planned a big thank you at the end of month to him. Pastor Emma may the Almighty God keep you untill we meet again

You were a true blessing to all who came into contact with you - a truly selfless, kind, humble, loving and faithful man.
Pastor Kwabena
Bentum Amissah remains memorable for his quiet and respectful nature. He stood out for his calm demeanor, choosing to listen more than speak and showing patience and humility even in tense moments. His quiet discipline left a lasting impression, reminding us that strength can be expressed through character rather than words.
Pipo
Dr Emma was my pastor, mentor, big brother, and friend- always present with prayer, wisdom, and encouragement. He stood by me through grief and never failed to uplift me. His love for God was evident in all he did. Though this loss hurts deeply, I honour his life and legacy. Rest with the Lord.
Christine
Your life was a blessing, your presence a gift, and your impact unforgettable. You stood by us with love, faith, and strength, and your absence leaves a deep void. Rest peacefully, dear Pastor ,a brother and a true friend.Your memory will forever remain in our hearts.
Gloria
A life well lived for the glory of God. Well done, good and faithful servant! Your eternal crown of glory awaits you. I do not quite remember the details but to God's glory, I met Pastor Emmanuel during a campus evangelism on Nottingham campus and invited him to Harvest Chapel. He responded positively to join us and dedicated the rest of his time helping grow God's church. I went home to settle back in Ghana. When I returned back to Nottingham in 2011, Pastor Emma was part of the Harvest family that supported the christening of my 2nd child born in Nottingham. The last time we met was in Accra when we met for a meal together hosted by our mutual dear friend, Mama D. That was the day he reminded of how we met. I salute your work, Pastor Dr. Emmanuel.

May 26, 2026Pastor Emma... I'm still shocked to the bone. This man was just simply amazing, and it feels so weird writing "was". What a blessing to have known you, friend. May God comfort your wife and children and the HCI family. This really hits hard, but the Lord knows best. Fare thee well, Soldier of Christ, till we meet again!
Georgina Awuah-Mensah
May 25, 2026Dear Emma, I have pondered for so long what to say, where to start. I have had the privilege of knowing you for almost a decade and in all that time my testimony of you remain the same - your kind is rare. All those years as we worked side by side with students, and in church you impacted my life and my faith more than I can describe. It was often not what you said, but what you did, how you did it. Your life was a testament of a man who walked with God. I watched as Christ formed more and more in you and it was a beauty to behold. My brother, my friend, you have indeed ran a good race, I only hoped it had been longer. Many times you would say to me, auntie Gina, we must pray. I heard you. I still hear you. We will pray. Rest well dear Emma, rest well. Until we meet again.

May 24, 2026PST Emma, Thank you. We all think it’s a short life but it was impactful. My gift nurturer. We identified my spiritual gift and you were willing to help me, you even bought me a book. I promise to nurture that gift and honour you and especially God. Thank you 🙏🏽. Keep resting in power
Chidera Patrick
May 24, 2026It’s so hard to write a tribute 💔😭. I still can’t believe I am referring to our Pastor Emma in the past tense. I’m forever grateful that God allowed me and the church to experience you. Pastor Emma always wore a smile and was always willing to listen. My last conversation with Pastor Emma on 12th April 2026 was a light banter about the football match between adult men and young men and how he was going to play football on that day. I choose to hold on to that memory till we meet again on the resurrection day. Rest well, Pastor Emma.
Kwame Assa-Agyei, PhD
May 24, 2026Pastor Dr Emmanuel Amissah - I called him my Destiny Helper, and truly, that is what he was. He had a rare and beautiful gift: the ability to find a way into your life and leave it forever changed. No matter who you were or where you came from, he saw you, he believed in you, and he acted. For me personally, he was a pillar I leaned on during one of the most defining seasons of my life - my journey from Ghana to the United Kingdom. Through the connection of Colonel Essuman, he came alongside me and never let go. He guided, encouraged, and supported me every step of the way. I would not be where I am today without his hand in my story. We will surely miss him - his warmth, his wisdom, and the quiet, powerful way he made you feel that your life mattered and your dreams were possible. To his beloved family: may Almighty God wrap His arms around each and every one of you in this season of deep sorrow. May He give you a peace that surpasses all understanding, strength when you feel you have none, and comfort in the precious memories he leaves behind. You raised and stood beside a man who changed lives — and that legacy will never die. May Almighty God receive his soul into His eternal rest. Amen. Kwame Assa-Agyei
Richard yeboah
May 21, 2026Tribute from Mr. and Mrs. Yeboah “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” – Psalm 116:15 With hearts full of gratitude and sorrow, we honour our beloved Pastor Emmanuel our father, mentor, and heaven sent angel. He was far more than a spiritual leader; he was the very hands and feet of Jesus to us and our family. When I first arrived in the UK to study, a stranger in a new land, he was the first to welcome me with open arms and placed the first pound note in our hand. To others it was small change, but to us, it was God’s provision and acceptance. He proved the truth: “I have not seen the righteous forsaken” (Psalm 37:25). Years later, when life’s storms overwhelmed us, he was our lifeline. He gave us a book on the power of prayer, teaching us that no situation is impossible with God. Through his guidance and the truth of “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” (James 5:16), our home was restored and our faith renewed. He embodied true servanthood (Matthew 23:11) and showed us that God sets the solitary in families (Psalm 68:6). To me he was the standard of godliness to my wife, a source of peace and healing. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You fought the good fight and finished the race (2 Timothy 4:7-8). Thank you for loving us unconditionally and shaping our lives forever. Your legacy lives on in our hearts. Rest well, dear father. An Angel in the form of Man We shall meet again. Farewell Papa
Priscilla Adwubi.
May 20, 2026I always felt this warmth the few times I saw him or said hello to him. I believe he is in Heaven and as he committed all his ways to God, I have no other reason than to believe God needs him in Heaven. I know you will keep watching over everyone and Ps Emma... thank you .
Deji
May 20, 2026Pastor Emmanuel lived a life dedicated to the service of God and people. It was a privilege to have met him, and even though his time with us was short, he touched so many lives and was a true example of how God wants us to be. He always wore a smile and was very humble
Kwesi Abaka-Quansah
May 18, 2026Ps. Emmanuel was a good example of selflessness and service to us as youths. He was concerned that the people he interacted with did well. I am grateful to him for my current mentors and certain roles over the period. Rest peacefully in the Lord. Your years of labor will be a memorial for the family.
Nana Acheampong
May 18, 2026Pastor Emma was a selfless and kind man who always went out of his way to help others. Despite his social status and leadership roles, he treated everyone with humility, love, and respect. His life was dedicated to serving people and supporting anyone in need, regardless of their background or faith. Rest in Peace Pastor Emma.
Bright Appiah Animante
May 17, 2026Ps Emma was a father figure to me. He was someone who was always there where you needed him. He was the first person I got to know upon arriving in the UK and I believe he was God's answer to my prayer of been able to succeed in the UK. He's been there for me through the difficult times and through all the challenges I faced. His impact in my life is what has made me reach where I am today. Twice I came close to losing my visa and both times, he helped me find a way to renew. He didn't just pray for me but also connected me to people and helped me financially as well. This was a testament if the type of person he was; he didn't just listen to your problems and pray for you but went the extra mile to find solutions until the problem is completely solved. In today's world, it's rare to find someone who is so dedicated into helping others and making sure you are okay. He was our Father, our Patron, our Friend. His memory and impact in our lives would never be forgotten. We are blessed to have known such a great God-fearing man, may his soul rest in peace.
Carl Quartey
May 17, 2026From when I first got to the UK, I wasn't ready for the autumn cold, but Pastor Emmanuel welcomed me with a jacket as he picked me up at the airport. He had a nickname for everyone and was so gentle, generous, calming, and always ready to help out, tell a joke, smile, and offer encouraging words to everyone. Pastor Emma treated me like his own son, and even though this is a huge loss, I'm choosing not to be sad that it's over, but happy that I got to know him. God bless you so much Pastor Emmanuel!❤️ Forever in our hearts.

Thank you for the beautiful memories, uncle Emma * The world feels a little less bright without you in it, but your spirit will live on in our hearts forever. We mourn the loss of Emmanuel Amissah and celebrate the beautiful life he lived and the incredible friend he was to all of us.

May 17, 2026Pastor Dr Emmanuel was an amazing man of God who each and everyone look up to, my motivator and away positive whenever there is an issue. God bless and keep him in bossom of his heart, and also comfort the wife, kids and family Amen!
Grace Udeozor
May 17, 2026Pastor Emma has been a strength and source of wise words for me and my family. I met him when I joined the church in 2012, he has been consistently serving God in humility and smiles, ever ready to help ANYONE- I mean ANYONE! His availability to serve in the church and to help individuals is amazing and I often wondered how he did it. He loved God so completely which showed in how he treated people. I miss him more than I have words to say, I cannot explain enough the impact he had in my life and though I’m perplexed at why he had to go, I’m not in despair as I know he is resting in the bossom of our Lord. Keep resting my dear pastor, friend and brother. I miss you so so much! 😭💔
Joel Ntow Annobil
May 17, 2026Ps Emmanuel was a great inspiration to me, personally in all areas of life, academically, spiritually, and all. I loved the way he could teach the word of God. He was very kind and always had people at heart, even their problems. Whatever he said to me of prayed to me about came to pass. He supported me financially when I needed help to pay for my graduate visa after school. This man has sown a seed in me I believe that I will guard to multiply in many also. May He continue to enjoy the presence of the Lord in Heaven.
Georgina Georges Adom Baffour( MamaGee)
May 14, 2026My family met Pastor Emma in December 2008, it’s was my husband who first met him at church when he was invited to church by a family friend, then I was in Ghana on holidays. I came back early 2009 and also had the pleasure to meet Pastor Emma, from there we became family. He was a very kind, loving, caring and selfless person everyone would want to be around him. He was always available when you need him. I remember I started with my childcare qualifications in preschool education, I was pregnant and I use to send him my work to read over for me, sometimes i even send him the questions and call him and explain what I want done and he will do it without complaining. He would do my word count and even print some out for me. We moved to Germany and he still did not give up on me. He always says you are my sister from another mother. My family was so blessed to have him as our Pastor. He will always pray for us, check up on us and visit us when he has time. Even though we were in Cyprus he still reached out to us and always says am your prayer partner Aunty Gina. You called me a week before you passed and said you haven’t heard from me and I said I see you all the time on zoom, we laughed and laughed and shared jokes. We were planning this year summer together ohhh Pastor Emma. You said you were coming to Gosport on the 16th May so we can surprise Denzel with a birthday party. The day you passed I messaged you and you responded me at 7.35pm. Hmmmm you have left me broken but what keeps me going is that I know you are resting with our maker and you are guiding us. You will be missed. Thank you so much for all you did for my family and myself. You were an angel sent from above. Apostle, Apostle as some of us call you, we love you and will continue loving you. Rest well Pastor Emma, rest well my brother, rest well our husband. Till we meet again. Your one and favourite Empress MamaGee the great. IT IS WELL, IT IS WELL 🙏🙏💔
Ellen Afriyie Opoku
May 13, 2026Dr. Pastor Emma — An Angel in Human Form To me, Pastor Emma was not just a name or a title. He was the first face of God’s kindness I met in the UK. In 2020, as a frightened student with an admission letter to NTU but no roof over my head, I was given his number by Kyerewaa, an NTU alumna back in Ghana. I called him — a total stranger — and said, “Kyerewaa gave me your number. I have admission to the UK but no accommodation.” By the very next day, Dr. Pastor Emma had written me a formal letter stating I would live in his spare room, and attached his ID documents as supporting evidence for my visa. A man who did not know me from anywhere. Hmmm, what a Godly man. Isaiah 58:7 says, _“Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter?”_ Pastor Emma lived this verse. He didn’t quote it — he was it. When I arrived in the UK, trembling and alone, Pastor Emma was the one waiting at the train station. He drove me to an accommodation he had prepared for me, free of charge. The next morning, he and his beloved wife, Auntie Bernice, appeared at my door with food I thought I had said goodbye to in Ghana — kenkey, goat meat, shito, burger bread among others — “just so I wouldn’t be lonely and go hungry, being fresh in the country.” He did not have to know who you were to be kind and lovely to you. He saw need, and he moved. He saw a stranger, and he made family. Hebrews 13:2 tells us, “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” Today I believe we entertained an angel without knowing it. Dr. Pastor Emma was an angel in human form. Matthew 25:35 — “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in.”_ Pastor Emma, you did all this for me, and for so many others whose stories we may never hear. My heart breaks that I never got the chance to thank him properly. The shock still sits in my bones. But heaven needed him more, and now he rests. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 — “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness.”_ Pastor Emma, receive your crown. Revelation 14:13— “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord… they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.” Your deeds follow you, sir. They follow you in every student you housed, every hungry person you fed, every stranger you called family and all you pastored and taught. To Auntie Bernice and the family: Thank you for sharing him with us. We grieve with you, and we thank God for lending him to this world. Dr. Pastor Emma, God bless your soul wherever you are now, I believe you are resting peacefully in Abraham's bossom. We were not ready to say goodbye. But heaven was ready to say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Matthew 25:23 Rest well, Papa. Your kindness planted forests in our hearts. We will water them with memory, and live so that your legacy never dies. Ellen & Benjamin

May 12, 2026Pastor Emma, I remember when I joined HCI Nottingham in March 2022. You were so concerned about how I and my family were settling down, followed up on children settling in school and since then always checking up on us asking if everything was going well. You were a kind and approachable person. You have gone to be with your maker and I pray your good works will remain. Rest on in the bossom of your maker.

May 12, 2026I worked with Emmanuel at Nottingham Business School, what an amazing human and colleague. He meant a lot to so many people and his impact went far beyond academia. Always calm under pressure, committed to his work and deeply committed to helping others. His bold commitment to faith is admirable. His lost is felt and he will sorely missed by all. Condolences to Bernice, the children and all the family.
John Ebireri
May 11, 2026Always ready to answer questions and offer help in any way he could. A truly great person, simply exceptional. You will be deeply missed. I pray that God fills the void left by this loss.
Aashnan Khan
May 11, 2026Emmanuel was the first person I met at my University when I moved to the UK 3 years ago. At a time when I was feeling like the loneliest person in the world, he made me feel welcome and assured me that he was there for me at any time. Throughout the last 3 years, I’ve went to him countless times for every issue I faced, small or big, it didn’t matter to him, he always heard me out and did his absolute best to help me at every turn. Seeing him in class was always a joy, him wearing his colourful shirts and warm smile would brighten up everyone’s day. Although I am very saddened he can’t be there for my graduation, I consider myself very lucky to have had the opportunity to learn under someone so kind and nurturing. May he eternally rest in peace.
Emma
May 9, 2026I didn't have the blessing of knowing you for very long but for the short time I did, I knew you to be an inspirational, kind hearted soul. I get why God wanted you back by his side but it feels very unfair and church just doesn't feel the same without you 🙁 I will miss seeing you praying and walking around before you preached - as everytime you did, you always had something powerful to say that resonated with everyone. It's a devastating loss and we all feel it but we also know that you're back with God, and that's a warm comfort. I will keep your family in my prayers and be forever greatful for the few interaction we had and the support snd guidance you showed me and my family. Rest in eternal peace Pastor x
Denzel, Joshua, Jenson & Alma-Datla
May 8, 2026Uncle you have made us very sad, you always advises us and pray for us. You always praises us when we do amazing things and you always bless us on our birthday. Who is going to send our mum long prayers for us? We spent last year summer with you and you promise to come this summer. Why did you leave us so soon. You did not wait to see us grow. We will always remember you Uncle Emmanuel. We love you. Rest in peace. Denzel, Joshua, Jenson and Alma-Darla.

May 8, 2026Pastor Emma was an exceptional human being. He helped me even when he didn’t know me and never turned me away, no matter how many times I approached him. He played a major role in both my academic success and my legal stay here, and I will always be grateful. And so, for each morning that I wake up, his name will forever be etched in my mind, because my life here is deeply shaped by his kindness, generosity, and unwavering support.
Manubea
May 17, 2026I only had the privilege of knowing Pastor Emma from September 2025, but in that short time his humility and care left a lasting mark on me. He was a genuinely humble man who took the time to check on me and ask how I was truly doing, not just in passing. One thing I’ll always treasure is the gift of cards from the Book of Psalms he gave me. It was such a thoughtful gesture that reflected his heart for encouraging others in their faith. Though he is no longer with us, I’m grateful for the kindness and pastoral care he showed in the time we had. He lived out what it means to shepherd God’s people with a gentle and caring spirit.
Anita
May 8, 2026Pastor Emma was exceptional. I met him in my days as a Masters student at University of Nottingham when I joined Harvest Chapel. At the time I needed support he was there , throughout my countless phone calls to him. At a point I was thinking he might be upset or will give up and will not respond. But he always kept his word and returned my calls. His patience and care for others is out of this world. The day I heard he had passed I wept and throughout the day my spirit was down because I had planned a big thank you at the end of month to him. Pastor Emma may the Almighty God keep you untill we meet again

May 8, 2026Dr Amissah was a very kind and God fearing man. His presence was very welcoming and comforting to me whenever I came to him seeking for his wise council on challenging matters. May the Lord strengthen family and all loved ones because we have lost a valuable person. May his wonderful soul rest in perfect peace
Afrakoma
May 8, 2026Dr. Emma was a kind, helpful, selfless, and deeply compassionate man — a true lover of Jesus. He was my Pastor, Referee and Patron of the University of Nottingham Ghana Students Association, where I served as the Vice President. Dr. Emma lived his life wholeheartedly for Jesus Christ. Many years ago, I had the privilege of working closely with him to support international students settling in Nottingham, and his service was nothing short of remarkable. He stood by me unfailingly whenever I called on him, and his impact on my life is immense. Though it hurts deeply and my heart is broken, I take comfort in knowing that Heaven has gained a faithful soul. Rest well, Soldier of the Lord. Afrakoma
Kwabena A-Kwarteng (KK)
May 8, 2026I met Dr Amissah when we enrolled at Nottingham University for our Master's degree. I recall that day vividly when he was introduced to me by a mutual colleague in front of the Trent building. We'd later meet at Harvest Chapel, Beeston. We called each other Senior. Emma was down to earth, gentle and one who was genuinely helpful. Long after I relocated back home, I remained in touch and he'd be my go-to person for every assistance I needed in the UK as far as shopping and shipping stuff over were concerned. We'll talk every now and then about church and our spiritual life. I made it a point to see him when he visited Ghana. We had a deep mutual respect for each other. Emma loved God and served him to the best of his ability. His service to God translated into being helpful to anyone who needed help. He touched many many lives through the years and I doubt if there's anyone who worshipped at HCI who was not impacted in some way by Emma's service. He was a clear example and I dare say the best among us in how he represented the Kingdom of God. He has only fallen asleep in the Lord as the Apostle Paul renders it and I have no doubt we shall meet again when the Lord Jesus returns or we go to be with Him. He left behind very fond memories and we shall always remember him in a good light. May his life serve as a beacon and example to us. Rest well senior, rest well my brother.
Emily Ramsden
May 7, 2026So, so sorry to hear of the loss of Emmanuel. He was a lovely colleague to work with at NTU and will be missed. Sending love to his family in this difficult time Emily R x
Michael Boamah
May 4, 2026Extremely painful, but the Lord knows best. Emma was like a brother to me since our teenage years. He had a rare gift for connecting with people. He managed to be many things to many people, always offering support, wisdom, and genuine kindness. He touched so many lives in different and meaningful ways. Wherever he found himself, there was always unity, peace, and purpose. EFFICIENCY due!!!
Adesola
May 3, 2026Dr. Emma was such a kind, sacrificial, matured and supportive man. Even from the distance in Nigeria, every thought about harvest chapel, brings back the memory of his lovely family. May the Lord strengthen them and uphold harvest chapel, Nottingham.

April 26, 2026Emmanuel made me believe in myself more than I did, saw more good in myself more that I thought. His choice of words were seasoned with salt and full of wisdom.
Oluwakemi
May 17, 2026Although sadly, I only got to know Ps Emma for a brief period, but it was so impactful that my family back at home felt the impact. Ps Emma was humble and had a great smile that calmed fears. I had spoken to him about the disappearance of my brother and his words were assuring. He prayed with me as well. This greatly encouraged me and my family in our distress, and to the glory of God, my brother was located safe and sound. Ps Emma LIVED. He exemplified Phil 1:21 “to live is Christ, to die is gain”.
