“What better way to do that than through the media.” Stuart Miller
Testimony
GodZone was initially established in 2005 as a worship ministry at the TSTC Waco campus. However, by mid-2007, the focus shifted to youth ministry and producing television programs. We produced a nationally broadcasted TV series called "Heavenly High", which had over 150 active teen participants. Those teens have now grown up and moved on to their adult lives, paving the way for a new generation of youth to learn and serve.
It has been an honor and a blessing to work with so many talented and God-loving young men and women. We give all glory to God.
GodZone Ministry is a non-denomination organization.
