Zobondo was ordained and served as a Deaconess at The Christ Healing Chapel in Monrovia. Because of her great love for children, she assisted, raised and helped many children that was in need of food, clothing, shelter, school tuition, shoes and whatever she was Blessed with, she gave to them.
Deaconess Yah-Dixon was an advocator for the people in her village, Beayukes. She would stand up and speak up for them. During the civil war in Liberia, she was the one who advocated for the distribution of food and supplies and the well-being for her village. Many times, she advocated for the safety of little girls to stop their abduction for sex trafficking and the recruitment of little girls and boys as child soldiers. She also advocated for a Clinic to be built in her village to supply the surrounding villagers with minor medical treatments like vaccinations, scraps and bruises to children, colds and fevers, examination for pregnant women and wellness of babies. This Missionary was an Angel of Mercy that her family, the children she helped and the villagers will truly miss.
