This article is about the church founder. For similarly named people, see John Brown (disambiguation).
Reverend John Brown or Browne (born January 1940 in Jamaica), also known as the Jesus Man, is the founder of the Power of God Deliverance Ministry.
Brown moved from his native Jamaica to New York City before he married a Birmingham native and moved South in the 1970s.
Since 2002, Brown has regularly stationed himself on Lakeshore Parkway in front of the Wildwood Shopping Center with numerous signs proclaiming Jesus. He is normally working from Noon until 9:00 PM.
Brown lost two residential properties which he was renting to needy families, as well as his 1993 Cadillac to a 2003 fire. In January 2008 the church housing his nondenominational ministry in Five Points West was also destroyed by fire.
