Deborah Brown originally came to Italy with a team from Portland Oregon on a short term mission. A media professional with decades of experience stateside, since 1998 Deborah Brown has been serving throughout Italy, collaborating with nearly 200 ministries to train and equip believers in use of media tools for evangelism.
To that end Deborah has dedicated all available resources to outfit even churches with limited funding to be able to record and live stream services and seminars, donating over $200,000 video production equipment/computers/cameras to assist Italian evangelicals to reach their nation for Christ using 21st century tools.
Deborah has produced nearly 200 Italian language short films and the award winning film “5 Minuti” which was presented at the Cannes Film Festival and has been seen by over 25 million people in 22 languages.
Deborah also partners with many Italian Ministries associate members in expanding outreach horizons. Collaborating with Pastor Cris Viglione of the Chiesa Evangelica Libera di Vicenza, Deborah has produced over 500 episodes of the series S.O.S. Sermon on Street which is scene on the national television network Parola di Vita as well as Pastor Cris’s YouTube channel.
Expanding training to the African continent, Deborah has six times gone to Ethiopia to teach and equip believers at the Mekane Yesus Seminary in Addis Ababa, also donating to them over $150,000 of film production equipment.
