Chris Brown Focuses His Heart on Charity

By Christine Thomasos, Christian Post Reporter Friday, July 19, 2013

Chris Brown, the 24-year-old singer-songwriter who recently had his probation revoked, is showing his heart is focused on charity work.

"Give back because it's in your heart. Not for a pat on the back," Brown tweeted recently.

The tweet followed a report by Hollywoodlife.com that was posted by Brown on his Twitter account. The report stated that the singer donated to Courage For Kids' GIVE BACK-pack initiative, providing Kindergarten students with school supplies.

"We are very pleased and grateful for Chris Brown's generosity," Wendy Pittman, a Courage for Kids board member, said in the Hollywoodlife.com report. "This is a wonderful gift, and we celebrate it as a recognition of the long-term alignment and friendship between Chris Brown and Courage for Kids."

Brown's charitable donation comes after he was on probation from physically assaulting ex-girlfriend and singer Rihanna in 2009. A Los Angeles County district attorney had the singer's probation revoked after one woman claimed that he hit her car and attempted to flee the scene last May.

Just before the news of his probation revocation was announced, Brown took to Twitter to defend himself and call for prayer from over 12 million Twitter followers. The singer claimed that God was keeping him strong throughout his struggles while thanking his fans, who are known as Team Breezy.

"Love you Team Breezy. I hope people can actually see the truth," Brown tweeted. "My cross is heavy but God gives me the strength to carry it."

This is not the first time Brown has taken to Twitter to call for prayer amid his legal issues. Last month, the singer ranted about his problems in and out of the courtroom on the social media website.

Brown ended his rant by tweeting the scripture, "2 Corinthians 12:10."

The scripture in the New International Bible states, "That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
