Brown presented with CU Leadership Award during chapel

By Matthew M. Billiot

Campbellsville, KY - Dr. John Chowning, executive assistant to Campbellsville University's president for government, community and constituent relations, presented Dr. Elijah Brown with the Campbellsville University Leadership Award "for having demonstrated years as a Christian servant leader."

During his message, Brown asked, "What was the single greatest miracle performed by Jesus, besides the resurrection? The feeding of the 5,000. It is the only one recorded in all four gospels, so it must have been one of the greatest."


"Hunger is a powerful force. It is a God-given characteristic," Dr. Elijah Brown, general secretary of Baptist World Alliance since 2018, said at Campbellsville University's Chapel March 27.

"You can make a real difference," he said. "He gives those in need what you have. It may feel like all we have is five fish and two loaves but let us give," Brown said. "It is estimated that 400 children starved in Venezuela, and 21 million live in low food deficit areas."

"The place where [change] begins is your table. It begins when we welcome our community in our home. Jesus' great solution to the hunger of this world is to invite people to your table," Brown said.

"He welcomed the hungry and we can do the same. The people of the kingdom work together to meet the needs of the people of the world," Brown said. Brown also delivered a Baptist Heritage lecture series March 26.
