Hello Bloggers,
My name is Billy Joe Brown and I am here for one reason; to give. I have always had a passion to give. My parents would tell me stories of while visiting Chicago, IL as a boy, I would beg them to give money to the homeless I saw in the streets as we drove by. My parents did not teach me about God, but when they were having troubles in the 90′s my whole family started attending a church in our hometown. In the near future this would be the place I would find Jesus. For some reason I always knew I would be serving God even though I did not know him yet. Although they did attend a few Holly Spirit churches while I was an infant, possibly I had some seeds planted in me there. Maybe? I was exposed to drugs at a very early age, and all of my teen years I used them heavily. I have been down a lot of roads that could have easily led to my death, but God has always had his hand on my life. Then at the ripe age of 16 I heard the gospel for the 1st time. I accepted Jesus Christ and fell straight to my knees in awe, finally I could see the true meaning of life; the blinders had been removed from my eyes. The big turn around in my life was when I left my hometown of Quincy, MI. I moved to the greater Flint area and started attending college majoring in architecture. God positioned me at a church in Fenton (FCC), and I have been there the last 10 years. My life has been greatly impacted from serving at FCC. My relationship with God skyrocketed and I even met my wife there. We now have a beautiful little girl, Liana, and I am so blessed to have a wonderful family. After 10 years of faithful service at FCC I am now ready to launch my own ministry (OBM), and praise God I can operate this ministry without leaving FCC. I want the next 10 years of my life to go slowly. Is that possible? LOL! I anticipate the plans he has for me and my family.
This is a pic from memorial day weekend 2009. I have been believing God for a boat for 10 years (ever since I moved out of mommy/daddy’s house), and I named it “Wild Bill” LOL. Life is beautiful!
