Before the 2027 missional journey
Impartation among the people. Intercession over the place.
Before beginning her missional journey around the United States, Dr. Brown desires to respond faithfully to the local assignment before her through the South Shore workshop.
Among the people
She will pursue spiritual impartation among people connected with Ruskin and Greater South Shore through prayer, teaching, encouragement, activation, and other forms of ministry that strengthen people to carry faithful local stewardship.
Over the place
She will offer intercession, blessing, repentance, consecration, and prophetic prayer over the land, waters, neighborhoods, churches, families, institutions, businesses, and future of the region.
Into continuing stewardship
The workshop will sow remembrance, reconciliation, spiritual awakening, resilience, protection, and flourishing under the lordship of Jesus Christ, strengthening people who remain and entrusting the continuing work to God and the local people called to steward it.
The record after the workshop
I pursued impartation among the people and intercession over the place.
This language records faithful pursuit and spiritual sowing while allowing the enduring fruit to unfold through God’s work and the community’s continued obedience.
A local field within a wider calling
South Shore has become a meaningful place of formation, relationship, and service.
Dr. Brown’s present South Shore season gathers church relationships, prophetic formation, healthcare and professional service, entrepreneurship, community listening, and preparation for the 2027 missional journey throughout the United States. The local work follows a simple rhythm: hear, discern, respond, and steward.
