Story
On Sunday 22nd October, 2017 we heard the sad news that Steve Brown had tragically and unexpectedly passed away in Uganda. Setting off from Community Church Derby (EMCF) Steve and Kathryn Brown travelled to Uganda with their young family. Working for New Hope Uganda Steve and his family were able to answer their hearts cry to help a nation with the crisis they were facing with orphaned children. He became more than just a worker in a missionary field. His larger than life character, his infectious smile, his genuine love for people made him a close friend to many. Steve was an amazing husband to Kathryn, an incredible father to Joel, Anya and Silas and an awesome friend to those that knew him and he will be missed. At a time such as this we believe God has called us to love, prayer and action. We can do all three and this page allows us to put our love into action and give whatever we can to help Steve's family at this time. For those that knew Steve this is a moment to give a little back to a man who gave so much! Thank you on behalf of Community Church Derby and all in EMCF (East Midlands Christian Fellowships)!

Hi all just a quick thank you for all your amazing generosity. The thanksgiving service (which was simultaneously broadcast live and was picked up across many different nations) was a wonderful time to share the life of Steve Brown. It was moving, funny, touching and awe inspiring.

I registered Steve's death at the FCO. I am a Christian and have been to, and loved, Uganda. He seems to have been a remarkable man. The family are in my prayers.
