ZOEgirl Says Goodbye

Posted by Kevan Breitinger Aug 21, 2006

The talented Sparrow Records trio, made up of Chrissy Conway, Alisa Childers and Kristin Swinford, has spent the last six years establishing themselves as deliberate role models and a sounding board to young teens and moms alike. On August 15, they released their final collection of favorite songs, "ZOEgirl: The Early Years." The recording is part of a series being released by Sparrow Records with similar collections from Newsboys, Steven Curtis Chapman, Out Of The Grey, Rebecca St. James, dcTalk and Sonicflood.

"For the past six years, Chrissy, Kristin and Alisa of ZOEgirl have dedicated themselves and their music ministry to a culture of teenaged girls who were desperate for inspiration, leadership and guidance," Peter York, president of EMI CMG Label Group, speaks to the group's legacy. "Their passion and commitment has had far reaching impact and their music has encouraged an entire generation of young women." ZOEgirl burst onto the music scene in 2000 and immediately earned the title as Sparrow Records fastest-selling debut artist in the company's history; a title that the group still maintains. It is the groups' purpose and integrity of mission that helped connect them to fans, who heard the ZOEgirl message of Christ's acceptance loud and clear from the beginning.

Over the past six years of ministry, the success of ZOEgirl's musical career has expanded their platform, allowing them to initiate annual summer missions to South America and those ministry efforts will continue. The group, partnering with Big World Ventures, remains committed to inviting teens to join them on a trip to South America each summer where the group performs concerts and dramas and works in orphanages, schools and areas where housing is unstable. "Each year, seeing ZOEgirl light up and selflessly lead teams on summer mission trips, its clear that they are passionate about serving and sharing the love of Jesus to people around the world. Beyond the music, their lives are truly about radical obedience to Gods call on their lives," explains Caleb David, Director of Strategic Relations, Big World Ventures. ZOEgirl leaves a nice testimony in their wake.
