Meet Author Terri Brown Meet Terri Brown resides in Hampton, Georgia, but is from New York City. Terri is born one of seven children to Louis Brown and the late Marie Brown. She worships at United Kingdom Apostolic Ministries in Locust Grove, Georgia. She is currently attending Point University earning a BA in Human Relations. “My hear t is to inspire others through my gift for writing . . . bring wholeness and healing to families who have gone through or are currently experiencing the devastating effects of divorce. If exposing my pain, mistakes and failures can help save a family from the heartache of divorce, then my labor will not be in vain.’’ Author Terri Brown from Hampton, Georgia Terri gives back to the youth of her community, by participating and volunteering in youth programs in her community. She also gives back by assisting families who have been displace (homeless) because of a separation or divorce, by helping them find shelter and by assisting them with food. Having experienced at an early age the trauma and the effects of separation and divorce she began to have a passion and a heart for families. Longing to have a family of her own one day, she grew up with the mindset that hers would be different. Not knowing that it takes more than just a mindset, but that it takes a lot of wisdom, a lot of knowledge, a lot of patience and a lot of love to have a successful marriage and family. And because of her lack of some of these she too would experience what she saw displayed in her childhood. Now having gained knowledge and wisdom, through experience, and by having conferences for those who are separated and divorce also by currently being enrolled in a higher education institution to obtain a degree in family and marriage counseling, she is on a worldwide mandate to share practical and biblical solutions to stop the plight of separation and divorce. As a result of her failed marriage she has been given a mandate to create a platform where the “Voice” of the man can be recaptured, thus she has established Touchdown Marriages “A Place Where a Man has “THE VOICE.”
