Downing
Ministries, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit, tax
exempt corporation and exists to provide those with a shared vision for
the work in which we are involved to participate
in a tangible way.
For forty-three years,
Ann Downing has been faithful to the call
God placed on her life as a young girl to sing gospel music all over
the world. In the late 80's Ann's ministry
expanded into the realm of speaking at the encouragement of one of her
mentors, Florence Littauer, well-known author and
speaker. Being in music ministry full time, Ann continues to
work each weekend in order to bring in the necessary
funds to fulfill her ministry's budget. At times, enough
comes in, but many times, it does not, so outsider
financial supporter has been a vital part of keeping Ann's music and
ministry going strong.
Downing Ministries
oversees three major projects in addition to
supporting Ann's music/speaking career. The "Ms. Lillie
Project" formed in 2006 in tribute to Ann's
mother to minister to nursing home residents in supplying them with
Gaither Homecoming videos, dvd players, televisions,
etc. More information about this project can be found on the
Ms. Lillie Project page.
Middle Tennessee Women's
Retreat is an annual event that occurs in
the spring. The event began in 1992 as the dream of Ann and
her husband Paul. Downing Ministries supplements
the registration fees paid by attendees to cover the expense of hosting
an event of this caliber. More info about
this year's retreat can be found on Ann's Retreat page.
To help with these
projects and to help support the
ministry's budget, your gifts to Downing Ministries are tax deductible
for income tax purposes and receipts are provided

continue her ministry as well as expand
in these projects very dear to her heart.
