“Zookeepers ministries is a non-denominational, non-profit, 501(c)3 christian ministry dedicated to fulfilling the great commission. Our mission is to help women and families around the globe find peace in their hearts and harmony in their homes through a personal relationship with jesus christ. In addition, and with titus 2:3-5 as our guide, we are dedicated to being a support system for women through discipleship education and mentoring resources such as books, bible studies, dvd's, online classes, blogs, free daily devotionals, webinars, conferences, retreats, speaking events, and international mission trips. Simply stated our mission is "to bring hope, help, and harmony to women's hearts and homes" wherever they may be. We are also a foreign mission organization. With the help of sponsors, we travel to the foreign mission field holding crusades and conferences for women. We teach and establish on-going mentoring groups and provide our printed resources in the local language regardless of their ability to pay. We place great emphasis on training local leaders and teachers to continue the ministry on a permanent basis through these groups.”

“Ministry activities were carried out by zmi ministry in 2017 and consisted of work in america, brazil, costa rica, honduras, nicaragua, kenya and uganda. Zmi leadership in america traveled to brazil and nicaragua, leading teams on mission to assist in various projects such as teaching seminars, bible study classes, mothering skills, and conferences for men and women on building families that last a lifetime. Our central american directors traveled to costa rica and honduras for leadership training and assistance to local leaders in those countries in april and august. Travel teams from america, along with local leaders in the countries listed above, also carried out various humanitarian aid projects throughout the year, not just when american teams traveled to the field, such as pms assistance for monthly menstrual needs, teaching, sewing and baking classes to assist women in vocational training, a children's after school program, hygiene training & basic needs assistance. We also assisted impoverished families with food, shoes, clothing, and the free distribution thereof. We worked with youth and children with physical education activities in baseball and soccer. We provided sports equipment and coaching for p.e. Programs and after school care, along with tutoring for children left behind in the educational system. Teaching and training continues year round for most of these projects. Mission groups traveled to honduras in january and to nicaragua in march and september. Many lives and families were helped through these efforts, fulfilling our stated purpose, including conferences and teaching for families, as well as all the humanitarian projects during the trips and between the trips by the directors of the various areas of ministry. There were approximately 28 formal sessions held while the american teams were on mission and multiple daily humanitarian aid projects occurring daily by our leaders on the ground throughout the year. When american teams are not there, local directors are holding sessions weekly, sometimes daily, and meeting needs on an ongoing basis throughout the year.”
