Remembering Isaac Broune

Support the Isaac Broune Memorial Fund

Rev. Isaac Broune passed away on May 5, 2024 after a brief battle with cancer. He was a trailblazing African communicator for United Methodism, sharing stories through radio, photography, writing, editing and translation. Broune formed lasting relationships with a broad family of communicators and began collaborating with partners at UMCom to build communications capacity in The UMC across Africa, Asia, Europe and the U.S. His ministry impacted thousands of people and brought opportunities for connection, training and education to so many that may not have otherwise received them. Today, you can honor Rev. Broune’s legacy with your financial support and prayers. Your gift here will be dedicated to supporting future central conference leaders and continue Rev. Broune’s impact through worldwide communications ministries.

A scholarship and/or endowment is TBA.*


"I thank God for choosing me and enabling me to yield to his call.

Though I was the least qualified in terms of age, God’s grace made me stand out. I’m grateful to the Lord for making me perceive his call upon my life into the pastoral ministry early. Though I had always been fascinated with men who wear black cassocks ever since I was a child, it is only by his grace that I become a Fisher of Men, fishing in other waters and telling stories and building the church of Christ on this earth."
