A Life that Sparked a mission

Grayson Warren Brown

Mentor, composer, international speaker, and author


I met Grayson when he came to Sts. Peter and Paul, my home parish in Manorville, NY, in 2006. He spoke to us about being Christ for one another and shared that he brought choirs to Tanzania.

Through Grayson, I was invited to join a mission trip to Tanzania — a journey that changed the course of my life. Sharing hope and our love of Christ through music with our brothers and sisters in Tanzania opened my heart in ways I never imagined.

Without Grayson, there would be no Seeds of Hope Tanzania. His devotion to God’s people and his spirit-filled life encouraged me to create this charity. He was there from the very beginning, and I will be forever grateful.

Grayson went home to God on July 2, 2023. While we mourn his passing, we remember him as a gift from God — someone who chose to use his life in service to others to offer hope. What better way to live a life?

Grayson's Music

Grayson wrote many songs that encouraged hope and faith. One of these, “If God Is For Us,” reflects the spirit that inspired Seeds of Hope Tanzania.
