Your group had a big year in 2004 both professionally and personally. Fill everyone in on what has happened with the group!
2004 was the most incredible year for the JBIF. We witnessed God's faithfulness first hand. Our album, “God Writes Our Story”, came out this year and the impact of it was so amazing. Stephanie's songwriting took off along with the musical capabilities of the rest of the family. God has brought us into many new areas into a new audience that loves her writing and our style. We thank God for that.
What's next up to bat for your group? In other words, what do you see in the immediate future for your ministry?
The next big adventure is the west coast!! God has opened the door for us to tour the west coast in places like Arizona, New Mexico, and California. We're very excited. Also, we'll be going in the studio pretty soon to start work on yet another album. Stephanie has been writing like crazy and the family is ready to work.
Tell us about your new single. Word on the street is that it is doing well. Any stories about how well it is doing or lives it is touching?
“Nothing's Too Hard for God”, has definitely touched many lives, but the life or lives it has touched the most is our own. When the song came to us, we were just at a point in ministry where we needed to hear from God. The way started looking uncertain along side of people sharing where they thought we should go. We started to pray and this song came. It helped us to understand that God has seen bigger things than this and it never bothered Him. He doesn't sit in heaven worrying about what to do next. He knows. So if we'll stay close, soon we'll know.
What are the long term plans for your group. What's the future hold for your group?
Definitely whatever God opens up next. We would love to be able instead of just going into churches, singing, and leaving, be able to stay a little longer and minister to every area of the church. Youth groups, young married couples, older married couples and everybody in between. We all have a testimony that proclaims Christ ands His mercy. Basically being the body and encouraging the body. We're so excited about whatever God puts in our path next.
Tell us about your worst and best concert experiences lately. Something the fan will love to know about you!
The worst…hmm…ah yes. We sang in a high school in south Georgia not too long ago that had these huge cockroaches roaming the halls. Seriously, they had to be about three or four inches in length. We were singing and Jeremy had left his guitar case sitting in the wing of the stage wide open. Right in the middle of Jody's testimony, Jeremy runs off stage and the next thing your hear is a loud “SQUASH”. One had tried to crawl into his case and he saw it out of the corner of his eye. The whole audience knew what had happened and died laughing. That was bad and yet really funny.
The best… we had the opportunity to see a little orphaned boy come to know Christ at one of our concerts. That was really amazing. The next week, we got to witness the salvation of a sixty- three year old man that everyone had given up on. God is really awesome!!

I am so happy for what Jesus is accomplishing through your ministry in word and song. Always remember, only what's done for Christ will last. You will love the west coast.
Hi Jody, Donna & Family,
I AM SO GLAD TO SEE BROTHER JODY AND HIS FAMILY DOING SO WELL. YES THEY ARE A VERY TALENTED FAMILY, BUT WHAT STANDS OUT THE MOST TO ME IS THE ANNOINTING THAT GOD HAS PLACED ON THEIR MINISTRY AND THE WONDERFUL SPIRIT THAT THEY BRING WITH THEM. CONGRATULATIONS ON MUCH SUCCESS AND I KNOW THE BEST IS YET TO COME FOR YOUR FAMILY.
Jody, Donna & Family -- We love you all and are so honored to call you friends. We have loved having you at the Steve Hurst School of Music!!!
We love the Jody Brown Indian Family!
What a great blessing God has in store for all the churches & folks along the way of the JBIF first West Coast concert tour this May. Especially for those who attend the N.A.O.M.I. House(Native American Outreach Ministies Inc.)benefit concert held at the Flatstaff Lamb of God Bible Church on May 28th. The NAOMI House kids(Native American children who come from orphan/abused homes) are so excited that the JBIF are coming their way. Jesus does love the little children and thanks Jody for having such a heart in seeing that need.
its always such a blessing to be ''around the browns''hope to see tham all again soon
