Rev. Leonard Brown is a detective with the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Department, entrepreneur in the security industry, and the Youth Minister at Mount Olive Baptist Church. His conviction that the young men in our city NEED the dignity & positive path of a job has lead him to be the point man of Phase 2 at Mt. Olive, Spring 2016.

All of these men Love Jesus. That’s why we want to see the city different.
