CONCLUSIONS ON PAGE 27
FROM THE FIREFLY REPORT ON DR. MICHAEL BROWN

It is believed that any sexual misconduct within ministerial relationships represents a profound violation of sacred trust, undermining the moral and ethical foundations upon which such relationships are built. Such behavior, in any form, is entirely unacceptable in any setting, but particularly within church and ministry settings. These actions not only betray the confidence placed in these roles but also inflict significant harm on individuals and communities, eroding the trust essential for fostering spiritual guidance and support.

Based on gathered information and consistent accounts from multiple witnesses, it is evident that BROWN engaged in an inappropriate relationship with IS #1, as well as an inappropriate relationship involving sexually abusive misconduct with IS #2, Sarah. IS #2 Sarah was nineteen years old when BROWN first took notice of her, leading her to believe God was placing her in a place of favor under BROWN. Within a year, at the age of twenty, these interactions escalated to physical touch.

With IS #2 Sarah, BROWN was observed holding her hand on multiple occasions, and both BROWN and IS #2 Sarah acknowledged and admitted to BROWN kissing IS #2 Sarah and making contact with the back midsection of her body. The meaning and exact locations of the kissing and contact to the rear are in question between the two accounts but must be looked at through the external viewpoint of an adult male having physical contact with an adult female.

While it is impossible to definitively prove deviant intent behind these actions, as the only person who sent and/or received sexually related communication with BROWN is deceased, the patterns of BROWN’S actions suggest that BROWN knowingly contributed to the situation and created an environment where, according to IS #2 Sarah, she felt uncomfortable and, even if years later, acknowledges that their relationship was inappropriate. Although the lack of direct proof of intent leaves room for speculation, the numerous interviews and, in many cases, corroborating documentation, point to a deliberate involvement of sexual misconduct within BRSM or FIRE SCHOOL, which could also be viewed as sexual harassment and/or a hostile work environment, especially with BROWN holding a position of power within the school generally and more specifically, with IS #2 Sarah. 

Based on the provided information, it is notable that no credible evidence has emerged between 2002 and 2025 to suggest further inappropriate sexual behavior by BROWN. This strongly supports the belief that these were isolated incidents, confined to 2001 and 2002, as corroborated by consistent witness accounts and a comprehensive review of the available evidence.

As a Spirit-filled believer, I personally question the sincerity of these charismatic NAR ministers: Bill Johnson, Jeremiah Johnson, Alexander Pagani, Patricia King, James Goll, and Todd White. And I would also question anyone who associates with them. While I wouldn’t necessarily say that all charismatics should absolutely run back to Assembly of God on their hands and knees–some of the AG churches might be okay. –J.B.
