Testimonials
"I have had the opportunity of working with Elsa and her banners for special events on several occasions. In each instance her banners have brought another dimension of the presence of God; conveying prophetic messages of God's majesty, beauty, and the fear of the Lord. What a pleasure and a privilege it is to work with her."

"Elsa Hammond's banners are some of the finest in the world. They are beautiful, creative, professional, readable and most of all they are highly anointed. They bring the Presence of God under Whose inspiration they were made. I just love being where these banners are, and even more so when Elsa comes with them. She has a great gift for having the right piece in the right place at the right time. It so enhances the worship experience to include "the eye gate" (that is, stretching worship beyond just the sense of hearing and expressing ourselves only by singing or praying).
When we pray "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven," it is exciting to see how God is answering that prayer by continually bringing our worship experience to a higher level. These banners, flags and other creative objects help to usher in a higher level of worship as they usher in a "greater weight of Glory." They are mere replicas of the glories of Heaven, just like the Tabernacle furniture was, but using them in worship helps us to connect to Heaven like a point of contact for our faith to ride to a higher level."

“If you come to a small church in the heart of the city of Malaga in the south of Spain, you will see behind the pulpit a huge and glorious banner in shining gold and red. It is in three sections with the center section proclaiming J E S U S in verticle fashion and on each side an angel with a trumpet heralding His Kingship. It is quite awe-inspiring to see such a beautiful work of art in a small building but it serves its purpose in proclaiming that Jesus is Lord in this country so filled with religious spirit and idolotrous worship. This significant banner was seeded to our church in Cordoba, Argentina in 2000 by its maker, Elsa Hammond, when we had invited Elsa for a Worship Seminar to teach on her vast experience in making and using banners and flags. Needless to say, those days of teaching bore much blessing and insight and she was used mightily of God in many, many ways. We will ever be grateful to her for being willing to come so far. Her visit left a mark in our lives, never to be forgotten.
When the Lord brought my husband Jose and myself to Malaga in 2004 as pastors, we felt Argentina should seed in Spain, so we brought Elsa’s banner with us to bless this country. We know the Lord desires each one of us to raise a banner to proclaim the Truth, to proclaim Jesus (Psalm 60:4) and when we open our hearts in simplicity for Him to use us with flags and banners His anointing has been evident and the power of His presence has brought joy and liberation and freedom and healing etc.
As part of the ministry of End-Time Handmaidens and Servants I was accustomed to seeing Elsa’s beautiful banners at their annual convention where the Lord would use them mightily in pageantry and the powerful high worship. I had the privilege of visiting Elsa’s church, then in Bentonville, Arkansas and seeing the parade of her artistry and creativity. Wow! One could only stand with open mouth at the beauty, the creativity, the work of the artist, the work of the seamstress, the colours, the materials combined in such a perfect manner, the excellence...words are hardly suffice. I know Elsa has sent her banners to the nations.
In the year 2001, Shirley Smith, Anita Christopher and I were on a team that went to Spain. Elsa lent us one her large banners to be used to prophesy over that country. As mortals, we cannot understand the full efficacy of flags and banners and all they accomplish in the spirit realm. I am grateful to God for permitting me to know Elsa and her ministry…and only in Heaven will we realize the full significance of her work here on earth."

"Ever since the first time I saw Elsa Hammonds banners at a Lydia Fellowship conference, I stood back and was awed by the sense of the Lords hand in how His presence was so revealed. Several times thereafter, I had the priviledge and joy to see her creative giftings in many other banners. I must say the Lords anointing is very much upon her work. I endorse her character, commitment and giftings to all in the Body of Christ."
