The prison outreach is to state and federal correctional facilities. Ministering mostly in the south central region of the states. Church prison outreach partners are invited to be apart, or the ministry can and will work with and through an existing outreach. A ZMI prison service is challenging for the inmate in many ways, from a walk of integrity, to holiness, and a life filled with the fullness of Jesus Christ. Correspondance is encouraged in keeping up with the inmate, as well as an area of prayer and also an avenue to help the inmate find a home church upon release. This phase of ministry being the area of most priority to ZMI.
New opportunities have also come up for Zoe Ministries, as we will be holding "Encounter" Services with various prison units in Texas, this being a two or three day crusade, with availability of involvement from local churches who have a heart for outreach.
The services will consist of ministry in evening services, a discipleship program on Saturday mornings, cell to cell, then a final evening service. If you would like to be a part, call the ministry and find out how.........
