Evangelist Brandon is also known as “Mama Charlotte” because of her transparency and communication style.  She willingly shares her failures as well as successes and is emulated because of the positive example she sets.  She cares about people and has a genuine heart for others, as a result to inspire them.  She is an avid reader, often sharing what she learns to invest in others. She strives to reach people where they are using a non-conventional approach combined with heartfelt compassion to bring the lost to Christ.  Mother Brandon is anointed to develop and minister at conferences, conventions, workshops, revivals and various convocation settings, living her life by her favorite scripture Proverbs 3:5-6.

R. Hopkins Sr.  On November 11, 2005 the General Supervisor, Mother Willie Mae Rivers installed her as Jurisdictional Supervisor of Oregon First.  In 2009 she was appointed to the National Advisory Board of the International Women’s Department of the Church of God in Christ.  In 2010 Mother Brandon was appointed to serve on the National Executive Board of Women for the Church of God in Christ to assist Jurisdictional Supervisors and leading women as needed through mentoring and training of ministry operations.

As of 2011, Mother Brandon has begun launching a mentoring program call "Women Are Worthy". Women are Worthy is dedicated to promoting self awareness in women. Its mission is to empower women to initiate positive, personal and social change by encouraging and developing their potential. To spiritually and emotionally uplift their minds and souls while enhancing their everyday lives and those around them; understanding that “Behind Every Successful Woman Is Herself”

Mother Brandon believes prayer is the key to being a doer of the Word and receiving the promises of God.  Her spiritual mentors; the late Dr. Elsie Shaw, International Prayer Leader for COGIC and Mother Gertrude Young, Supervisor of Washington State; taught her that prayer is absolutely essential to ensure a right relationship with God.
