We give all praise and glory to God for every opportunity, blessing and trial we face at GodZone Ministry each and every day. May God open our hearts, eyes and ears to his will. We pray that God will guide this ministry in a way that will improve the moral and spiritual values of our communities, staff and audience through the works we do for Him.

God be with us as we enter the battle field.

“What better way to do that than through the media.” Stuart Miller
Testimony
GodZone was established in 2005 as a worship ministry on TSTC Waco campus. By mid-2007 we shifted our focus to youth ministry and producing television programs. We soon had over 150 teens actively involved in the production of our nationally broadcasted TV series “Heavenly High”. Most of the original teens are grown and moved on into their adult lives making way for a new generation to learn and serve.
It’s an honor and a blessing to have had the privilege to work with so many fine young men and women who love serving God. We give all glory to God.
GodZone Ministry is a non-denomination organization.
