Our about
Total Dedication
Serving as a non-religious, non-partisan, and non-sectarian organization, which provides resources to people of all denominations, (regardless of age, race, creed, sexual gender, identity, background family composition, origin, socio-economic status, or ethnicity).
In April of 1977, Reverend Donald L. Brown Sr. organized The God Squad Inc. as a not-for-profit 501(c) 3 company in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
our history
Reverend Brown based his mission on the ‘needs of the people’. His vision was for the continuity of services from a holistic approach that led to social change. He pioneered the movement of providing emergency assistance to people in crisis. From its inception, the organization has given food, shelter, and clothing to the less fortunate
During the ’70s, The Church of Lincoln Gardens of New Brunswick, NJ, with the leadership and direction of Rev. Brown, had emerged as ‘The God Squad Inc’ (GSI). Many programs were created that would address the failed attempts by governmental bureaucracy and institutionalized racial injustices. When the ‘AIDS Epidemic’ became a national crisis Rev. Brown created what was then called ‘Operation Dragnet’ to the awareness of this deadly disease and to address the concerns of victims/patients that have contracted this incurable immune virus. His services extended from the East coast to some parts of California.
As the ‘War on Drugs’ was enforced and the return of Vietnam veterans; the heightened demand for grassroots efforts to address substance abuse was prevalent in disadvantaged communities. Many local churches and community centers that were led by Rev. Brown played a significant role in providing treatment for those that experienced the effects of substance abuse/drug addiction.
By the mid-’90s the academic professionals of Rutgers University had expressed their interest in having Rev. Brown conduct motivational seminars, sermons, and workshops to encourage educational goals. During the early 2000s with the support and influence of Rutgers; ‘DLB Ministries’ had emerged as one of the most sought groups in Central Jersey.
As his efforts continued to impact the community he was appointed Lead Pastor for the ‘Peoples Baptist Church’ of Newark, NJ. His influence and leadership continued to foster the region, which pioneered a legacy that would extend for generations.
