Our TEAM

Dorretta Brown

She was actively leading Bible studies and a prayer warrior for our ministry right to the end of her time on Earth. She had always been able to adapt to the times and kept us mindful of being thankful with her favorite verse, Philippians 4:6-7:  “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
