Chris and Carol Green, and their sons, are a
different kind of ministry team. As a family, they founded the Fruitful Life Network of Ministries,
a partnering ministry to local churches to assist in their efforts to use technology in the 21st century.
Primarily they are a family of writers and
artists. As a family, they are connecting with families in the urban community using their varied
creative gifts.

itinerant speakers
Chris and Carol engage small groups or larger assemblies in
settings ranging from training sessions to church congregational
gatherings. Most often they address issues involving the healing of
hearts and homes. One of their primary ministries is for heterosexual couples through
their We Made a PACT campaign.

Africa.
