Post Content
Thank you so much for sharing Keith's beautiful song for his Lord Jesus Christ. The joy and love he felt for God is so evident in his music. More people should know about Keith.

"Keith Gordon Green took to music at a young age, beginning with the ukulele at age three, the guitar at five, and the piano at seven years of age.

Keith had a Jewish heritage and was raised in Christian Science . He grew up reading the New Testament and called the mixture of being Jewish and learning about Jesus "an odd combination" that left him open minded but deeply unsatisfied. He began doing drugs and became interested in eastern mysticism and "free love." After experiencing what Green described as a "bad trip," he abandoned drug use and became interested in philosophy and theology. "When Keith was 19 he met a fellow seeker/musician named Melody. They were inseparable and got married a year later -- now he had a partner as his spiritual and musical quest continued." Green later stated, however, that in the midst of his skepticism, he had, "been lost in a fantasy, till [God's] love broke through" and he renounced Christian Science and became a Jewish believer in Jesus the Messiah. A week later, Keith's wife Melody, whom he had married in 1973 and was also Jewish, became a Jewish believer in Jesus. It was during this time that the newlyweds became involved with the Vineyard Christian Fellowship in Southern California.

Along with eleven others, Keith Green died on July 28, 1982, when the Cessna 414 leased by Last Days Ministries crashed after takeoff from the private airstrip located on the LDM property. The small two-engine plane was carrying eleven passengers and the pilot, Don Burmeister, for an aerial tour of the LDM property and the surrounding area. Green and two of his children, three-year-old Josiah and two-year-old Bethany, were on board the plane, along with visiting church planters, John and Dede Smalley and their six children. Green's wife Melody was at home with one-year-old Rebekah and six weeks pregnant with their fourth child, Rachel, born in March 1983.

Melody Green continued to operate Last Days Ministries from Texas until 1996, when she moved to California and launched Last Days Ministries Online where all of Keith's writings are free and his music can be found. The free monthly Last Days Ministries Newsletter is also sent out by request.

Keith is honored as Melody maintains the Keith Green Facebook Page and also the Melody Green Facebook Page where she interacts with Keith's fans and Last Days Ministries fans."
