Tempe Brown is a native of Oklahoma with a background that is wide and varied. She was the art director for Century Publishing Company in her hometown of Oklahoma City and later became editor of Key to Oklahoma City This Week magazine for five years. She interviewed visiting dignitaries as well as famous entertainers who performed in her city, wrote a weekly column and critiqued the fine local restaurants.
At the same time, she sang jazz and blues in some of the most exclusive supper clubs in Oklahoma City. She later formed a show band and traveled extensively throughout the United States and appeared in Mexico and Canada.
Upon accepting Christ as her Savior after reading Gideon Bibles in the hotel rooms where she stayed, she left the music business in the summer of 1977 to begin a life of full-time Christian service. She travels year-round speaking for various organizations, including Stonecroft Ministries, Women Aglow, Business and Professional Women’s Association, and the Gideon’s International.
Tempe has written an enhanced historical novel entitled, The Seed, a children’s book called, The Little Dirt People (What it Means to be Born Again), and a suspense thriller called The Payback Game. Tempe has recorded a CD of songs she wrote entitled, “Pieces,” a CD of her favorite hymns called Vintage Hymns, and a new one of some of the great old standards called Heavenly Jazz. She is also a portrait artist and watercolorist. Tempe is the mother of three grown children, the grandmother of nine and the great-grandmother nine.
Ministry Focus – To see women grow in the truths that God has provided for their lives; to see them confident, fulfilled and moving forward and not “stuck” in wrong perceptions, fears, and lifeless religion. She brings her listeners to a new level with Christ and shares truth with practical application.
Mode of Teaching – Tempe has been described as very “laid back” and has been told countless times, that she is “down to earth” and “real.” Her humor is refreshing and often drives home a point that helps her audience to remember in a unique way. She can have you in stitches one minute and weeping the next. She is a woman who is confidant, yet able to gently relate with people at every level.
