meet the browns
Aja and Van Brown are humble servants of the Lord whose obedience birthed a fellowship in their own home, Encounter, over three years ago. In that space, God honored their faithfulness in ways only His promises could fulfill: signs, wonders, miracles, and unfolding of the Great Commission.
From the beginning, their motivation has been obedience: to build up and equip God’s people for the work of the Kingdom. Aja and Van lead with the same servant-hearted ethos that Christ modeled; grounded, intentional, and prayerful.
Aja and Van currently live in Dallas, Texas but their influence extends beyond city lines. They serve as strategic advisors in the marketplace, bringing wise counsel and Kingdom perspective to various realms. They are also nurturing two beautiful daughters together, modeling family life centered on faith, devotion, and daily surrender to God.
Their story is defined by the humble yielding of their lives to God’s purpose, trusting Him to fulfill His promise through radical obedience and extraordinary power.
