Fruitful Life is dedicated to the restoration of the urban world through the healing of hearts and homes.  Here's why:

 

* Chris Green was the unborn babe in his mother's womb when his parents lost their two-year old son in a tragic food choking accident. It is told that his mother wailed, screamed and cried in grief, shock and sorrow. Child psychologist have revealed that an unborn baby is deeply impacted by the emotional state of the mother. Chris was born with an overwhelming sense of loss, sadness, grief, depression and pessimism.

* Another inner city family was torn apart by another kind of loss. Carol's parents were separated when she was 11 years old, a very critical time in the life of a young girl. She was devastated. She lived with a broken heart, a crushed spirit, and very little hope for any kind of a successful life and future.
 

The solemn little boy and fearful little girl grew up and one day they met on a college campus. It took being introduced two times to get them to talk to one another. When they did, their lives were joined together and thus began a long journey of personal healing which eventually led to marriage and a ministry of inner healing.

 

It was destined for these broken, crushed and wounded souls to, one day, become known as "Healers of Broken Lives." Together, they established a faith-based, family-focused ministry that is establishing a network of home groups that prepare attendees to rebuild their families and effectively work in, and positively impact their communities.

 

Urban Life is part of an Urban World Harvest initiative to establish spiritual care and effective human services in urban communities throughout the United States and around the world.
