Dr. Brown is a driven and committed follower of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. She realized her heavenly Father’s call on her life could only be actively living Jesus Christ’s commandment “to Go forth and make disciples of all nations.” She graduated from Turner Theological Seminary (2002), at the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta, Georgia, as valedictorian of her class, where she earned her Master of Divinity, with a major in New Testament. She subsequently earned her Doctorate of Ministry at the Ecumenical Theological Seminary (2006) in Detroit, Michigan. The title of her dissertation is Evangelism: Learning to Share the Good News in an African American Context.
For over two decades, Dr. Brown’s experience in active ministry, entrepreneur, and as a college professor has equipped her with the insight and wisdom to offer, retreats, seminars, workshops, and/or Bible studies that include guidebook and study aid such as this, Evangelism: Go Make… (Matt. 28:19), and Holy Spirit: Fruit and Gifts Seminar. Dr. Brown’s guidebooks and study aids serve as practical and authoritative resources for church leaders and practitioners in the ministry. Her works are relevant and insightful tools for those interested in ministering to the needs of this generation.
Lastly, her works further demonstrate how the power of the Holy Spirit empowers the followers of Jesus Christ TODAY to persuasively impact the lives of others for the glory of her heavenly Father!
