LifeLine to Success is an outreach ministry of LifeLine to a Dying World Ministries. LifeLine to Success concentrates on the Mid-South ex-offenders that are honestly seeking to change their lives. And we know what is needed to change this vicious cycle. Support. Not only a strong support system of dedicated workers, but most importantly, a relationship with Jesus Christ. We are in the "people building" business. We will look beyond the fault and meet the need.
DeAndre D. Brown
Executive Director
DeAndre has spent the last 10 years learning the justice system as an ex-felon and has experienced, first hand, the problems, confusion and frustration one encounters upon returning to a community. A student at LeMoyne-Owen College, studying business management, DeAndre has become a successful entrepreneur in the Mid-South. He is an associate minister at Jehovah Jireh COCIC, under the leadership of Dr. Mose Walker, Jr. He is also an active member of the TN Southwest Fellowship, under the direction of Overseer William S. Wright, pastor of Liberty COGIC. DeAndre enjoys spending time with his wife, Vinessa, and their 6 children. Singing in the LeMoyne-Owen College Gospel Choir, teaching bible studies, and playing the piano keep him busy when he has a little free time. His passion is assisting and guiding those that are lost and searching for acceptance.
