Rosie Robinson, MRSS, PresidentThe Lord gave Stan and Rosie a vision to open up a drug and alcohol center in 2007. While praying and meditating on God's Word, the name for the center was revealed.
The Brook name came from 1 Kings 17:2-6. Elijah was at the brook and the ravens fed him there. The Brook would be a place where people would find hope and love. They were to teach them that by the Word of God, their minds would be renewed and their lives transformed. Stan and Rosie have been married for 20 years and have 5 children. |
