ADULT FORUM - ZOE MINISTRIES - From Relief to Empowerment

Rev. Warner will share the work of Zoe Empowerment among vulnerable families, especially child and youth headed households. Zoe Empowerment equips orphaned and vulnerable youth in Africa and India to overcome extreme poverty-for good. Through a three-year, community-based program, participants become safe and healthy, are equipped with skills for long-term success, and are empowered to lead meaningful lives that strengthen their communities - knowing they are not beyond the love of God. Zoe Empowerment is the World Missions partner of the Congregation at Duke University Chapel.

Gaston Warner is the Chief Executive Officer of ZOE Global North, a nonprofit organization that empowers over 28,000 orphans and children in 7 countries across 3 continents, including Africa, India, and Guatemala. He is a United Methodist Elder in the Western North Carolina Conference and many may remember Gaston from his time as a pastor at Duke University Chapel.
