" Debbie Lawrence Welch - November 21, 2011 at 04:54 PM Bishop Kenneth Brown has stood for the Apostles Doctrine Acts 2:38 and true holiness. He has been an example and a light to the community where he has lived " for many years. We first knew Bro and Sis Brown in Cambridge City where he was an insurance agent to my family(Bro Jim Mills Family). The two families became close friends and Bro Brown's family began attending church where the Mills family attended in New Castle. The Apostolic Pentecostal Church of New Castle. It wasn't long until Bro Brown felt his call into the ministry and from there he took a church in Greenfield In, also "The Apostolic Pentecostal Church" where he raised his family and was a great leader the rest of his life. We are going to miss this great man of God and all of his wisdom and teachings but we know he has run the race and now he rests in the arms of Jesus. Our prayers are with Sis Brown, the family, and the church of Greenfield. Love in Jesus, Rev Donald and Sis Mary Silvers Rev & Mrs. Donald Silvers - November 21, 2011 at 04:54 PM I am so sorry for the loss of a great man and pastor.
