About 

Hello friend, Zoe Collins here, co-founder of Operation Victory with my husband, Jonathan Collins. I'm so glad you're here! I grew up in a family where missions was apart of our every day life. My parents started a church in California a few months before I was born, and my dad began taking trips to the Middle East and Africa to share the Good News from the time I was very young.  When I was 13, we moved to the United Arab Emirates so that we could travel back and forth from surrounding countries to share the love of Jesus with people who have never heard of Him. It's been an joy to serve under my parents and help open 8 churches in the region with many more leaders being trained up to launch in the future. Jesus is both my love and my passion, and He always will be. 

​

In May of 2025 I married the love of my life, Jonathan Collins, and moved back to the United States. Together we've dreamed of ways to infuse the missions scene with financial support,  help start churches, encourage pastors, and rescue children from poverty's grasp. We're going to share Jesus with as many people as possible while we walk this earth together. That's our biggest desire. 

​

I don't know how you found us at Operation Victory, but I believe it's no accident. When I met Jonathan Olowo (not to be confused with Jonathan Collins, my husband haha), our Victory Center Administrator in Kampala, Uganda, we had a burden on my heart for the children living in poverty, and knew we were supposed to start a home for children, but didn't know where it would be or who we would partner with.

 

As I was scrolling through social media, I found his page and decided to reach out. I was thrilled to learn he was near Kampala, because my father had just launched a church there. The odds of us meeting in the natural were close to zero, but God knew all along. He planned that we would work together. Through many hours of communicating through chats, texts, facetime, phone calls, over many months, I've seen his faithfulness and integrity in everything he does, as well as his love for our Lord and his precious children. I'm honored to call Jonathan not only a colleague, but also a friend and brother in christ. We are thankful for the privilege of serving Jesus together, by loving and caring for these sweet children.

​

There are no many non-profit organizations out there today doing great things. So why should you support this one? Let me ask you this, why should the 24 children in our care go without just because a bigger non-profit hasn't reached them yet? We're all doing as much as we can, but there are still so many children still on the streets and going without every day.

 

We shouldn't wait because they can't wait. Reaching them now means saving them from the years of pain and struggle that await them. These are the precious children of the earth, and God has entrusted them to us. We don't want to stop at just 1 Victory Center. We have a vision to expand to as many cities and villages that need us. With your help, we don't have to say no when they reach out for support. 

​

Thank you to our new and faithful partners. This is only possible because of you. Your prayer and support means more to these children than we'll ever be able to express. Your generosity has changed their lives and will continue to change the lives of many many more. Thank you for supporting Operation Victory. Thank you for Loving these Children to Life.
