Pastor Rha-Sheen D. Brown, “Pastor Rez”, was born
on December 7, 1975 in Brooklyn, New York to Deborah
Brown and Lonnie Owens.
Pastor Rez had to overcome various trials and tribulations
throughout his life. His father separated from them and later died in a car accident,
when Pastor Rez was only 5 years. His mom resorted to the rough lifestyle of
Brooklyn
and began to sell drugs, running numbers and running cons. She eventually became
a crack cocaine addict.
She and her son became homeless and went from shelter to shelter.
Child welfare took Pastor Rez from his mom’s custody when she left him in the shelter by himself. At this time Pastor Rez was 12 years old and going from foster home to foster home.
When everyone thought that Pastor Rez was nothing and they had given
up on him, he began to think that the streets would accept him. He began to sell
drugs and became very rebellious. Pastor Rez surrounded himself with people who
were thieves and murderers.
In 1994, when he was 19 years old, Pastor Rez was arrested on multiple
charges that could have had him in jail for the rest of his life. But God was
watching over him the entire time. Pastor Rez’s mother, who at this time
was clean and in the Lord, interceded in prayer.
After only 6 months, Pastor Rez was released from jail. Even though Jesus released him, Pastor Rez was a 5% and believed himself to be God. Later Jesus Christ would give him the other 95 % and make him 100% whole, in Jesus Christ.
Pastor Rez had a son out of wedlock before he went to jail. When he was released, he brought him back home with him for a better life. He had another child, this time it was a girl, and he would later marry her mother.
Pastor Rez stayed out of trouble and accepted the Lord in March
of 1998. He got ordained as a Youth Minister in 2000. He also married his daughter’s mother, Evangelist Briggitte Brown, that year, and the Lord blended
the whole family together.
Pastor Rez devoted and offered up to the Lord, his gift of Rap and
poetry. Now a licensed Pastor, Pastor Rez birthed Right Now Ministries, which is an outreach to all people.
In 2003 Pastor Rez’s wife gave birth to
their youngest daughter. Pastor Rez, his wife and three children are on
a mission for the Lord and His people.
