Thank you, Dr. Lewis. 01:03 Pastor Brown, you have such an interesting story 01:05 and I had the privilege of interviewing you 01:07 for Urban Report, that-- your story is-- 01:11 so your testimony is so inspirational 01:14 would you just give our viewers just a little bit-- for those 01:16 who don't know about you and your past. 01:19 Well, I come from an origin that Christ has to intervene. 01:25 My birth mother was 13, 01:26 raped left me in the hospital there in Florida. 01:29 A Seventh day Adventist couple, Anna and Leroy Brown came along 01:33 and they adopted me 01:34 and they gave me the name Moses. 01:36 And they told "You're gonna be somebody." 01:38 I and took that seriously 01:40 even though I went through some struggles in my life. 01:42 But God has pushed me in positions 01:45 that I know was His divine hand that put me in that position. 01:49 Praise the Lord. God is so good, isn't He? 01:50 Yes, He is awesome. 01:52 I mean He had a plan for you, 01:55 from the foundation of the world. 01:57 He had a divine plan for you. 01:59 And here you are, doing what you do, 02:01 singing for God and what else are you doing? 02:04 Tell us about your ministry. 02:05 Well, I'm one of the pastors at Florida Hospital, 02:08 there to Adventist health systems. 02:10 And also, we have joined together 02:12 with the evangelistic campaign. 02:15 I'm taking Feed Our Children ministries 02:17 which is uh, a ministry I started 27 years ago. 02:21 To feed people and to give them hope 02:23 and to take their brokenness in our inner cities. 02:25 And I'm using that also to do evangelistic work. 02:28 My goal is to baptize a thousand souls, Dr. Lewis. 02:32 Amen. 02:33 And so we will be going to urban areas 02:35 where they have brokenness and there's poverty. 02:37 And people haven't heard of Christ. 02:39 They think God has given up on them. 02:41 I want them to know that God still loves them. 02:43 Come on, pastor. 02:44 And I'm gonna reach that place with the hope of Christ. 02:46 You know, I was just listening 02:48 to the something on the radio today. 02:50 And the commentator was saying that 02:52 87 percent of teachers have had children 02:56 in their class rooms that come hungry. 02:58 Yes. Children are hungry. 03:00 How can you learn when you're hungry? 03:01 So your organization is feeding children 03:04 and then using that for evangelism? 03:07 Elaborate just a little bit more in that. 03:09 Well, we found out that if you bring food, 03:11 it's the way Jesus did. 03:12 He brought... Come on. 03:13 Fish and loaves of bread and we bring that fish 03:16 and loaves of bread out to the community. 03:18 And they come they come from all walks of life. 03:21 And we give them opportunity to meet us, 03:23 you know, because people may not remember what say 03:25 but they remember how you make them feel. 03:27 And we try to let them know that we compassionate people. 03:30 You know, I like people say, you know, 03:32 well, people remember you 03:33 if your church left your community today? 03:35 So we try to come out there and touch their needs 03:38 and then we them about Jesus and His love. 03:40 Yes. Isn't that what Jesus did? 03:42 He met people where they were. Exactly. 03:45 And then from there, you know, he would heal them 03:49 and He would feed and then He would teach. 03:53 So it's like, you know, 03:55 you can't really learn on an empty stomach. 03:59 So you're feeding the people, you're feeding the children 04:02 and you can also get to the parents 04:04 through the children. 04:06 We have reached many that way. 04:08 I'm taking this to different conferences 04:10 and letting them know, this is the process 04:12 that we can use, you can work out of the box. 04:14 And let them know that if you get out there 04:16 and just kind of meet them and greet them, 04:18 you don't have to beat them down with a Bible. 04:20 But show them the Bible through your examples. 04:21 Absolutely. 04:22 That's what we are trying to do. 04:24 That's the key. 04:25 Tell us about your music ministry 04:27 and what you're doing with that? 04:29 I'm putting, uh, new CD together, 04:32 going with my new book that's coming out. 04:34 Oh, come on. 04:35 The name of the book is "Bit but not Broken". 04:37 Oh. 04:38 And I'm writing some music, gonna tie in with that. 04:41 And my music, with the Second Chance 04:44 CD I have, and the Hymns-- 04:46 Favorite Hymns of the Church. 04:47 They're in the ABC stores all around the country. 04:49 And God has just been great and awesome 04:51 and I'm using that to help my ministry. 04:52 Praise the Lord. 04:54 So you have multifaceted, a multifaceted ministry. 04:58 You're the chaplain for the Florida Health Systems. 05:01 You pastor a church?

It's two of your... 15:17 Yes, two of my daughters two of my four daughters. 15:19 That's so great. 15:20 Okay, so we have a lot of catching up to do 15:22 both on and off, off the screen but tell us a bit about, 15:26 first of all, about your ministry. 15:29 When did you start singing? 15:32 I believe I was about six, seven, 15:35 but I started early on, 15:37 and you know, just started singing, 15:39 you know in the choir at church. 15:41 And then, you know, as you go to middle school 15:44 and I started singing with, you know, the school choir 15:47 and then, you know, high school. 15:49 So I sang pretty much all my life. 15:51 Did your dad sing? 15:53 Uh, he did sing. Did he? 15:54 He's kind of has that Frank Sinatra voice. 15:58 Okay. 15:59 Yes, and then my mother, mother sang as well. 16:03 Okay. 16:04 So it comes from both sides really, with you. 16:07 It does. 16:08 Because I didn't really get to know your dad 16:10 and I didn't really get to know my granddad 16:12 I didn't know whether he sang or not. 16:15 But it came down through both sides. 16:17 It did. That's awesome. 16:19 So when did you get into ministry? 16:24 Ministry? 16:28 Uh, I would have to say in high school. 16:30 You know, but it's just in my recent years, 16:34 within the last-- I'll say within the last 20 years. 16:38 That it is, uh, what I'd know 16:42 that I was created to do. 16:46 Singing to the Lord. 16:47 Yes, yes, to singing to Him. 16:51 When did you find Jesus? 16:52 When did Jesus become your savior? 16:54 Give us a little bit of your testimony. 16:58 About-- when I was 12. Okay. 17:01 I found Him and then, you know, as I got older, 17:04 you know, I kind of strayed away. 17:08 But then, thank God, that I was able to get back 17:10 into His graces before it was too late. 17:14 And He's just been maturing me in Him 17:18 more and more, you know, everyday. 17:21 You know, every week, it's a day by day, step 17:24 but you know, I thank the Lord for, uh, saving me. 17:29 Yes. 17:30 And for letting me know 17:31 that I needed to align my will with his. 17:34 You know, in order to, in order to serve 17:37 and so, you know. 17:39 I thank God. 17:41 It's a growth process, isn't it? 17:43 Yes, yes, it is. For all of us. 17:44 I mean, you know, we find Him and then sometimes 17:47 we go to the left, He brings us back. 17:50 You know, but it's all along that road 17:54 that He has us on, that continuum, 17:56 that sanctification road if you will, 17:59 that it's a lifetime deal. 18:01 So we just keep growing and learning and all of that. 18:04 That's right. It's a process. 18:06 But He's made us a promise. 18:08 And so we can't stagger at the process. 18:10 Come on now. You have to look. 18:12 See my cousin preach! I don't know. 18:18 It is a process. It is. 18:21 And He's made us a promise. 18:23 He'll never leave us nor forsake us. 18:25 Right? Never. 18:26 So in that we learn about him, we grow in Him. 18:31 And He just uses us. Yes. 18:34 And He's using you in a mighty way. 18:36 I was listening to you during sound check 18:38 and I mean, I'm just loving what God has done 18:43 with your voice and with you ministry. 18:44 Amen. 18:45 He's got great work for you to do. 18:47 So now are you working on a project, 18:49 do you have a project? 18:50 What's going on with that? 18:51 Uh, no not working on a project. 18:54 I've been under contract before 18:55 but that didn't quit work out. 18:57 And so I'm just waiting to see what the Lord going to do. 19:01 Uh, I'm one of the devotional leaders at my Church 19:04 and also one of the praise leaders 19:08 and so, you know, I'm singing constantly. 19:10 But it's what I do. 19:12 It's what I was created for. So I love it. 19:14 And isn't it amazing when you are walking in your destiny. 19:18 I tell the viewers on Dare to Dream, 19:21 a lot on Urban Report, this other program 19:23 that I host, that God's got a plan. 19:26 He does. 19:27 He's got a divine destiny for us. 19:30 And when you're walking in that destiny 19:31 there is nothing more fulfilling than that. 19:34 Because you know, this is why I'm on the planet. 19:37 That' right, this is who I am. This is who I am. 19:39 It's what I do. Yeah. 19:40 Absolutely, Kelly Price said that I believe. 19:42 Yes, yes and so it must be good to know for you 19:47 this is where God has planted you. 19:49 Do your children sing as well? 19:50 They do. Really? 19:51 My children do sing some of them, a little. 19:54 Shower head singing than others but yes, they do sing. 19:57 That's awesome. 19:58 So your family supports what you're doing? 20:01 Your husband came with you.
