Dorretta Brown

No Village Too Far Dorretta Brown

As one of ten children born to farmers in southern Minnesota, young Doretta never had expected much from life. But when, at the age of seventeen, she accepted Jesus Christ into her life, the world as she knew it changed forever. Soon after, Doretta left home to enroll at Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School (now Northwestern Bible College), in St. Paul, Minnesota. There, she met and fell in love with a passionate young man named Zeral Lewis Brown, and together the young couple accepted God's call to "go into all the world" and spread His teaching. Together, the Browns traveled the Spanish-speaking world as missionaries, often living in the poorest-and most dangerous-conditions imaginable. From the Dominican Republic during the dictatorship of Rafaél Leonidas Trujillo to Cuba during Castro's takeover, No Village Too Far tells the inspirational story of one woman's sixty-two-year quest to bring change to the world through her Christian faith.
