The name is intentionally ambiguous, short, and memorable. The owl, more than a mascot, looks east towards the 10/40 window* and represents our core values of generosity, excellence, and innovation. Founded in 2020, our roots are directly connected to the advocacy work of the author Max E. Zimmermann who started the Immanuel Mission in Los Angeles during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Other influencing organizations include YFC, GMU/Avant, and Gideons International. *The 10/40 Window is a term used by mission strategists since 1990 to refer to those regions of the world located between 10 and 40 degrees north of the equator mostly in the eastern hemisphere. Generally speaking, this area has the highest level of socioeconomic challenges and the lowest access to the gospel message on the planet. https://www.zeelo.org/book-consultation daily 0.75 2020-06-25 https://www.zeelo.org/pagego daily 0.75 2021-06-12 https://www.zeelo.org/contend daily 0.75 2021-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef432c39464ea6f5ac5f6b6/1598667766684-08SMVR8WI0JD4A9Q8Y4Z/ConcertHands.jpg Contend - To Contend is to pray. ZEELO believes our greatest advocacy work is contending. Our team is focused on this important task and invites others to faithfully pray for leaders on the frontlines. Therefore, we are always looking for contenders — those who will commit to praying for leaders. Contenders are our greatest resource. More than donors. More than mobilizers. Contenders are generous in their times of fervent, faithful, regular intercession. These people are the frontline worker’s greatest asset. In Scripture, James tells us, “ … the prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” We often discount the effectiveness of our prayers because we lack faith and doubt God. In reality, God has commanded us to pray because he desires to hear what is in our hearts and will answer us. Through prayer, God invites us to ask Him to change the spiritual configuration of our world for His glory. Wisdom from the ages. We’re motivated by tremendous leaders from the past – the greats who have gone before us – and what they have said about the advocacy work of contending prayer. Here are some examples: “Prayer is beyond any question the highest activity of the human soul. Man is at his greatest and highest when upon his knees and comes face to face with God.” – Martyn Lloyd Jones "You have a factor [with God] that is infinite. 'I will do as much as I can,' says one. Any fool can do that. He that believes in Christ does what he cannot do, attempts the impossible, and performs it!" - C.H. Spurgeon “God shapes the world by prayer. The more praying there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces against evil” — E.M. Bounds “It is possible to move men, through God, by prayer alone”. — Hudson Taylor “Worship and intercession must go together; the one is impossible without the other. Intercession means that we rouse ourselves up to get the mind of Christ about the one for whom we pray.” — Oswald Chambers “If a church is to be what it ought to be for the purposes of God, we must train it in the holy art of prayer. Churches without prayer-meetings are grievously common. Even if there were only one such, it would be one to weep over. In many churches the prayer-meeting is only the skeleton of a gathering: the form is kept up, but the people do not come. There is no interest, no power, in connection with the meeting. Oh, my brothers, let it not be so with you! Do train the people to continually meet together for prayer. Rouse them to incessant supplication. There is a holy art in it. Study to show yourselves approved by the prayerfulness of your people. If you pray yourself, you will want them to pray with you; and when they begin to pray with you, and for you, and for the work of the Lord, they will want more prayer themselves, and the appetite will grow. Believe me, if a church does not pray, it is dead. Instead of putting united prayer last, put it first. Everything will hinge upon the power of prayer in the church.” — C.H. Spurgeon To better understand how you can participate in contending specifically for those on the frontlines: Email: info@zeelo.org • U.S. Phone + 001 913-563-9282 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef432c39464ea6f5ac5f6b6/1599664915728-XAC3ZY6MXCSKH193K3BC/ThaiTukTuk.jpg Contend - Prevailing prayer. There are different translations of these words. One version renders it, "I will show thee great and fortified things." Another, "Great and reserved things." Now, there are reserved and special things in Christian experience: all the developments of spiritual life are not alike easy of attainment. There are the common frames and feelings of repentance, and faith, and joy, and hope, which are enjoyed by the entire family; but there is an upper realm of rapture, of communion, and conscious union with Christ, which is far from being the common dwelling-place of believers. We have not all the high privilege of John, to lean upon Jesus' chest; nor of Paul, to be caught up into the third heaven. There are heights in experimental knowledge of the things of God which the eagle's eye of acumen and philosophic thought hath never seen: God alone can bear us there; but the chariot in which he takes us up, and the fiery steeds with which that chariot is dragged, are prevailing prayers. Prevailing prayer is victorious over the God of mercy, "By his strength he had power with God: yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Beth-el, and there he spake with us." Prevailing prayer takes the Christian to Carmel, and enables him to cover heaven with clouds of blessing, and earth with floods of mercy. Prevailing prayer bears the Christian aloft to Pisgah, and shows him the inheritance reserved; it elevates us to Tabor and transfigures us, till in the likeness of his Lord, as he is, so are we also in this world. If you would reach to something higher than ordinary groveling experience, look to the Rock that is higher than you, and gaze with the eye of faith through the window of importunate prayer. When you open the window on your side, it will not be bolted on the other. — C.H.

Our practice is to abide with God daily through reading and studying His Word. We believe in prayer. Our practice is to spend time in prayer daily, not just to make our requests known, but to better know the God who loves us and gave Himself for us. We believe in one God, existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our practice is to walk in obedience to our heavenly Father, being sensitive to the Spirit’s direction for the glory of the Son. We believe in the Great Commission. Our practice is to participate in this divine calling as disciples of Jesus while helping others do the same.

Through partnerships, we create relationships in which the world is expanded and others are benefited. Accountability: Since much is entrusted to us; time, resources, people, trust, and confidentiality there are appropriate guidelines and structures in place. This ensures that we work ethically, responsibly, and are able to answer for our conduct and obligations. Innovation: We approach each situation with creativity and a problem-solving mindset. We attempt new things in hopes of better outcomes for everyone involved. Generosity: Jesus is the greatest example of living generously. When people follow His example, both the giver and receiver experience joy and gratitude. Excellence: Everything we do is done in light of the high standards Scripture and the One who calls us to look to the interests of others and not our own. https://www.zeelo.org/about-1 daily 0.75 2026-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef432c39464ea6f5ac5f6b6/f5a8b693-7b81-4742-9d30-6554521fea4b/Screenshot+2025-09-25+at+10.48.42%E2%80%AFPM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef432c39464ea6f5ac5f6b6/7af7e4d1-55a2-431e-b158-227e8bed2ef8/Screenshot+2025-09-25+at+10.44.14%E2%80%AFPM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef432c39464ea6f5ac5f6b6/3f401966-bdbc-4cbe-af68-24d575ddc639/Screenshot+2024-08-14+at+3.13.37%E2%80%AFPM.png About RAY & JANELL ZUERCHER: CO-FOUNDERS Ray and Janell are practical visionary implementers with over four decades of marriage and ministry experience.
