ZOYA MINISTRIES

09/17/2026

Once again, Zoya volunteers braved the sweltering heat to serve nearly 60 homeless individuals in our local community this past Sunday.

We provided both hot and cold meals, offering not only nourishment and refreshment, but also a sense of dignity, care, and human connection to people who are often overlooked and struggling with difficult circumstances.

Our outreach is about more than simply providing a meal—it is about making a tangible difference in our community. Every meal served is an opportunity to show compassion, build connections, and remind someone that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten.

Through the dedication of our ZM volunteers, we are helping create a community where kindness is put into action and where those in need can experience the love of God in a practical and meaningful way.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who continues to give their time, energy, and resources. Together, we are making an impact—one meal, one person, and one act of kindness at a time. 🙏🏼✝️

Stories from Jamaica: Powerful testimonies from Pastor Robert.

Three women. Three different needs. One faithful God who met every one at their point of need! This is why we go. The Lord is our Shepherd, and He is good. 🙏🏻✝

Jamaica Mission Report:
As our medical team, arrived in Black River, St Elizabeth Parish Jamaica on July 25, we were met with the lasting impact of Hurricane Melissa. The catastrophic hurricane that decimated the Black River community. The hurricane made landfall at reported wind speeds of over 200 mph, destroying anything in its path! Black River hospital, the town square, churches and family homes fell to its destructive force. By the grace of God, we were able to provide a free medical clinic to over 400 families and individuals who lacked resources to buy medication. Our medical team performed four minor surgeries, ultrasound technicians performed nearly 120 ultrasound exams, pharmacists filled nearly 1500 prescriptions, our prayer and counseling team ministered to hundreds and especially to 25-35 children and adults who were traumatized. We provided over 100 school supplies bags for school age children returning to school, performed nearly 300 back to school medical forms, and provided 200 pair of school shoes. While the numbers may be misleading, the testimonies of those we served, the smiles and gratitude tell of a lasting impact that made the difference in their lives. Through this experience, we have learned that success is not always measured by numbers, but the impact!
We encourage you to follow us across social media platforms for updates and information.

Facebook Friends,

As many of you know, October 2025, western Jamaica, especially the town of Black River in St. Elizabeth Parish was devastated by Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm and the strongest hurricane on record to hit the island. The hurricane destroyed or severely damaged homes, businesses, and the local hospital, and while aid is ongoing, the needs remain great.

We strongly believe Zoya has been called to help the people in Jamaica. They are still in great need. This work aligns with Zoya's own mission which is to provide hope and healing to the poor, the orphaned, and their communities through medical and humanitarian aid. We will be ministering especially in the town of Black River in St. Elizabeth Parish where much of the city still is in ruins. Our mission trip is scheduled for July 25-Aug. 2, 2026.
