Sara Curdie – Canada
Location: Canada
Ministry Focus
Sara is a part of the Zoe Network team focusing on Zoe Projects. ZOE is all about helping women thrive. Through global partners, ZOE Projects build strength into the lives of vulnerable women in four key areas: health, education, economic empowerment, and restoration from human sex trafficking; all with a heart for spiritual transformation. Sara will be working alongside our partners to help these initiatives thrive and help them reach the most unreached and vulnerable populations. As well, Sara will be connecting the projects and stories of women to Canadian women to create an army of advocates of engaged women supporting our sisters globally.
Ministry History
Sara has served as the Missions Pastor at First Assembly Church in Calgary for the past 17 years. She has spent time living in the Uganda and United Kingdom and has travelled and ministered in almost 60 countries. She co-founded the Women of Purpose Conference in Calgary, a city-wide gathering of women to be inspired and launched into God’s purposes. She just joined the Zoe team full time to focus on strengthening what ZOE does globally in helping women thrive and to engage more women in helping lift each other up.
Prayer Request:
- For the church to be mobilized in breaking down barriers for vulnerable women around the world.
- For strong networks and relationships to be built globally with our partners.
- For adjusting to new life as a global worker based in Calgary.

TRANSFORMATIONAL IMPACT: My passion is to see women and girls being set free from oppression by experiencing the Good News and being equipped to lead full, thriving lives.
MINISTRY FOCUS: My ministry focus is on women and girls who experience poverty and trauma due to gender-based violence, and supporting those who lack access to health care, education and leadership development opportunities.
Gender inequality is one of the oldest and most pervasive forms of injustices in the world. It denies women their voices, makes them vulnerable to gender-based violence, devalues their work in the church and in their communities, and restricts access to tools(like education and healthcare) that will help them, and their families, prosper.
Through your partnership, I train local leaders on values-based leadership, run courses that activate women into leadership (ZOE Identity & Flourish), research the local barriers women face, and work with partners to address context specific solutions. I also actively engage Canadian women and women’s groups to advocate for, pray for, and support women through ZOE Projects.
YOUR IMPACT: Your partnership can set women and girls free from marginalization by giving them an experience with Jesus and equipping them with tools to lead flourishing lives!
MINISTRY HISTORY: For the past 17 years, I have served as the Missions Pastor at First Assembly Church in Calgary. I have lived and ministered in over 50 countries and launched the Women of Purpose Conference in Calgary to engage and equip Canadian women for God’s mission. In 2020, I joined the Zoe leadership team to focus on strengthening our global programs to help women thrive and lift each other up.
PRAYER REQUEST:
- For the church to be mobilized in breaking down barriers for vulnerable women around the world.
- For strong networks and relationships to be built globally with our partners.
- For the funds to enable me to minister in multiple regions globally.
