Melody Green (1946–) is an American preacher, author, and songwriter whose ministry has profoundly impacted evangelical Christianity, largely through her work with Last Days Ministries (LDM), which she co-founded with her late husband, Keith Green. Born on August 25, 1946, in Hollywood, California, she was raised in an Orthodox Jewish family as the granddaughter of a rabbi. Her early life included a period of spiritual searching, exploring Eastern religions and the drug culture while working in the garment industry in Los Angeles after college. She met Keith Green in 1972, and they married on Christmas Day 1973; both became born-again Christians in 1975 after attending a Vineyard Christian Fellowship Bible study. They had four children—Josiah, Bethany, Rebekah, and Rachel—two of whom, Josiah and Bethany, died with Keith in a plane crash on July 28, 1982. Melody’s preaching career blossomed after the tragedy, as she continued leading LDM, which she and Keith had started in 1977 to minister to the marginalized and spread the gospel. Known internationally for her bold speaking at retreats, conferences, and churches across over 30 nations—including prisons, refugee camps, and war zones—she emphasizes uncompromising faith and compassion for the broken. She authored the bestselling biography No Compromise: The Life Story of Keith Green and wrote widely sung hymns like “There Is a Redeemer.” After remarrying and later divorcing Andrew Sievright in the 1990s, she has lived in Kansas City, Missouri, continuing her ministry through writing, speaking, and distributing millions of tracts, leaving a legacy as a preacher of resilience and spiritual depth.
