A Church for Every Child
A LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT & CEO 2023 ANNUAL REPORT Dave Meyers, President / CEO Dave Meyers God continues to accomplish His Big Idea across the nations! This past year proved to be the greatest ministry impact year in our history. More leaders were trained, churches engaged, children being discipled, and the beginnings of new churches being planted! Whether it was across S. Asia, Africa, or Latin America, God is continuing to build His church through children, some with special needs and disabilities, and those being rescued from horrific human slavery across borders! Thank God with us for all He is doing through your prayers and financial gifts in this impact report. And thank you for your amazing partnership! Yours for A Church for Every Child!
HISTORIC MOMENTS Our Kenya teams excelled in church planting training, collaborating with remarkable pastors, children discipleship leaders, and church planters in Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, and Southern Africa. These leaders successfully grew their existing churches and have begun to establish new churches throughout the continent. Our global teams extended ministry efforts to South America, Africa, and South Asia, including a transformative journey through the Himalayas, where we trained a record number of pastors and leaders. We also graduated our first group of facilitator trainers. This group of trainers will help set the pace for 2024! The year unfolded with historic church planting training and growth, including establishing new programs in Southern Africa among 20 surrounding country leaders and Nepal in South Asia. Other notable events included sending our first ZZG Vision and Impact teams to Ecuador, inaugurating three OneMeal foodpacking events across the USA, and training hundreds of pastors and leaders. WE SAW GOD’S BIG IDEA We celebrated 10 years of ministry! We witnessed God's abundant provision as we ventured into new countries, connected with incredible leaders, and engaged in ministries across Africa, South Asia, and Latin America. The year stands out as our most significant Year of Ministry impact to date across five continents. ZZG now has church planting training graduates in 25 countries, including regions traditionally deemed "unengaged" and challenging for gospel outreach. GRATEFUL FOR GOD'S PROVIDENCE GROWING LOCAL LEADERS AND CHURCHES A significant milestone in the United States was the successful launch of our OneMeal food-packing ministry in 2023. Partnering with Kids Around the World, we initiated this program in Washington, Arizona, and Florida, contributing to our ongoing church planting endeavors.
