The Ministry At A Glance

Abe Brown Ministries is chartered by the state with access to all of Florida's 67 prisons.  The Ministry reaches out not only to those incarcerated, but the under-priveleged as well.  By enabling people to achieve productive and spiritually fulfilling lives, Abe Brown Ministries, Inc. has become one of the most dynamic and effective ministries in the state, and serves as a model participant in a nationwide network of organizations providing similar services.

Today, Abe Brown Ministries is led by a group of committed "Christian Business People" who complement the organization's staff by serving on its Board of Directors.  Currently the staff consists of the Founder (non-compensated), Deputy CEO (part-time/non-compensated), Executive Director, and Administrative Assistant.



The History Of The Ministry

In 1976, Coach Abe Brown picked up a newspaper and was shocked to see that one of his former football players had been charged with murder.  Upon visiting this young man in prison, Coach Brown realized that he had taught young men how to play football, but he had failed to teach them how to live.

Coach Brown was also deeply impressed with the tremendous spiritual needs of those confined to penal institutions.  As a result of this experience, Coach Brown committed his life to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ that young men will know God's rules of life.

Coach Brown was eventually called to God's Vineyard and is now Rev. Brown.  Abe Brown Miistries, Inc. is an extension of the Body of Christ which God is using to save those who are lost.
