Madeline Clark is a pastor with a passion to lead hurting and rejected people to become born again in Christ, so that they can be the strong people of God they are called to be.  She assists them by helping them to focus on the spiritual growth and development that’s needed to overcome their past. She is a natural nurturer who has had to overcome a lot personally; and can identify with almost anyone she comes in contact with.  Her goal is to minister the love of God to all, that they may receive emotional healing and have restored faith in Him. She declares that whatever God has her hands to do, she will do it all to His glory. 

 

Madeline Clark has been serving the Body of Christ and ministering God's word for over 30 years. She was saved and spirit filled in August of 1985 at New Day Way of the Cross Church under Bishop Myles Meredith.  This is where her ministry and foundational growth began. She was licensed and officially ordained as a minister in December of 2001 under the leadership of Pastor Michael O’Dogwu, Founder of Crusaders Ministries International, and in July of 2008 she was licensed and ordained as an Elder under the leadership of Pastor Melvin Thompson II, Founder of True Worshipers Ministries, Inc. In June of 2011 she was installed as Pastor of New Zion Agape Fellowship, Inc., by the late Pastor and Founder Pastor Gloria Jenkins.

​

In 2016 she began studying under Chris and Carol Green and the Fruitful Life Learning Community where she successfully completed the Care-Ready Responder Training and became a certified coach in the Green's accredited CARE-Ready Coaching program; thus earning the distinction as a Certified CARE Minister.

 

She was set apart and ordained in Ministry Leadership by Fruitful Life Ministries because she has demonstrated decades of ministry experience. She has also served on various auxiliaries in various ministries including: Evangelism and Outreach, Worship Team, Hospitality, ministry of Helps and Prison Ministry. She is has been a Client Specialist at a Homeless Shelter where she provided Life Skills classes and Life Coaching for women.

 

It is our honor to acknowledge her many years of service and provide ordination and covering for her ministry appointment as a pastor and teacher, as well as other multi-fold ministry that comes forth through her life, and provide covering for her ministry role as a mature elder and overseer in the Body of Christ.
 

For the past thirty years, Maxine Wright has ministered to battered teens and housed individuals overwhelmed by life's challenges. In 2017, she founded Open Arms House of Love, a home-gathering church fellowship dedicated to providing comfort and counseling based on God’s Truth, one person at a time. She believes that true ministry is in the field where people are in need of guidance, compassion and love. She has found tremendous joy in helping to shape the lives of her nieces and nephews particularly on a spiritual level. 

 

Maxine Wright grew up in a Christian home in Newark, New Jersey. She received her early Christian development at The Glorious Church of God in Christ; under the leadership of her aunt, Pastor Minnie Mason. She was Baptized in the Holy Spirit at the age of 13. 

​

In 1981, she relocated to Pennsylvania, where she became a choir director and mentor to young girls. Maxine received formal ministry training in 1999, at Abundant Life Church. She was ordained as an Elder in 2004 at True Worshipers Ministry, where she served as Director of Woman’s Ministry, Worship Leader and Director of Christian Education.

​

Since 2016, she has continued to serve family and community under the direction of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the oversight of Pastors Chris and Carol Green and Fruitful Life; where she earned a Certificate of Completion in Fruitful Life's Community Care-Ready Responder training, and completed several Fruitful Life Leadership Development courses.

 

It is our honor to acknowledge and provide ordination and covering for her many years of serving in her ministry appointment as a pastor and teacher, as well as her ministry role as a mature elder and overseer in the Body of Christ.

Mary Dennis is Fruitful Life’s longest standing member. She has led us in Intercessory prayer in weekly public gatherings and continues to stand in intercession for this ministry on a daily basis. She has earned STEP Forward certifications in Biblical Foundations,  Ministry and Community Services, and in Family and Community Leadership. She also earned a certificate of completion as a Community CARE-Ready Responder.

 

Mary came to Fruitful Life when it began in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in September of 2004. 

Before coming to Fruitful Life, she served faithfully in Emmanuel Church of God in Christ for over 40 years. Most notably she was known for her service in Intercessory Prayer. She held noon-day prayer gatherings in homes, before it was moved into the church facility. In one of those prayer gatherings, her daughter (Carol) was filled with the Holy Spirit. Little did she know that her daughter would become an ordained minister.

 

She was an appointed ministry gift to her church, serving in helps and administration. She assisted her sister, the late Willa Mae Barbee in the church’s food bank and served as the church’s secretary. She worked as a manager at Presbyterian Apartments, a complex specifically designed for senior citizens. There, God made her a gift of compassion and encouragement to elderly citizens. She was greatly loved and the residents absolutely hated to see her go when her employment came to an end there.

​

She is a fulfillment of 1 Corinthians 12:28 (NKJV) "And God has appointed these in the church: gifts of healing, helps, administrations…."

​

It is our honor to acknowledge her many years of service and provide ordination and covering for her ministry appointment in intercessory prayer; prayer which has led to miracles and healings, along with the gift of helps and administration; and we acknowledge her ministry role as a mature elder and servant leader in the Body of Christ.

Alton and Shavaun Jackson have been working in ministry over 25 years. They are a couple that lives and moves by Faith. They have been commissioned by God to reestablish worship in the hearts of men. They are called to give hope in spite of their own trials, but in those moments God has used them to be a conduit of hope. They are Givers of Hope!

 

They are currently serving as domestic missionaries with an international outreach organization known as Apartment Life.  As Apartment Life Coordinators, they provide CARE, inspiring vibrant CONNECTIONS with Christ, and they'll be helping others to answer the CALL to do the same.

 

They give hope and encouragement to approximately 600-plus (mostly Hindu) residents by hosting amazing events within the community and creating intentional moments for Holy Spirit-led interventions, as many are still navigating loss, loneliness, and many unbearable challenges.

 

The Jacksons also support the apartment owners and their staffs by increasing retention and reducing turnover.

In addition to Apartment Life, they also work with a local church, volunteering their services in
overseeing the worship and they provide training and guidance for the youth ministry in the area of worship.

 

They're also providing assistance with that church's outreach program and ministry known as Celebrate Recovery. This is a Christ-centered, 12-step recovery program for anyone struggling with hurts, hang-ups, and habits of any kind.

 

In addition to all of that, they also facilitate a weekly online Bible study for women.

It is our honor to acknowledge and provide ordination and covering for their ministry appointment in multi-fold ministry expressions (apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, pastoral and teaching), along with gifts of helps and administration that have already come forth through their lives; and provide covering for their roles, as mature ministers and leaders in the Body of Christ.
