Born in Central New Jersey, Elder Linda Brown was chosen from her mother’s womb to be an advocate, mentor and teacher to many. Raised by Deacon & Mrs. Willie J. Brown, she learned the Word of God at an early age. As a child Linda learned of her adoption. “I understand what it means to be chosen. As an adoptee I count an honor and a privilege to have the parents that God chose for me. They chose me. They could have had any child, but they chose me. In that same light I thank God for choosing me to be who I am and growing to be as a daughter, mother, grandmother and in my calling as a minister of the Gospel. Nothing that is experienced do I take lightly."She learned the Word of God by example and by spending time with her late father, Dea. Willie Brown, by studying their Sunday School lesson. Saved at the early age of 9, Elder B., as she is sometimes called, began her ministry as assistant Sunday School teacher by the time she was 15.

But God stepped in and healed me – spirit, soul and body. Today I can truly “bless the LORD†no matter what happens. My relationship with God through Jesus Christ is something I love to share to all who will listen. He has been soooooo good to me!â€..
