Rich & Niki Tyler are the co-founders of Zoe Life Ministries & All-4-Kids Sales.
Rich, Niki and their 5 children who still live at home. Niki’s mom is far left in this pic. You may bump into her at an A4K or ministry event where she sometimes volunteers.
Rich is originally from New York, but has lived in the Lehigh Valley since 1994. He has an Associates Degree in Biblical Studies from North Carolina College of Theology, and has been involved in various areas of christian ministry for over 25 years. His passion is helping men realize their full, God-given potentials. Working in men’s prison ministry for over 20 years has allowed him many opportunities for mentoring men that had hit a turning point in their lives. His goal is always to help bring restoration and direction to help these men transition back to being the leaders they are meant to be for their families and in their communities. Rich is the overseer for all areas of men’s programming offered through Zoe Life Ministries, and he is the largest behind-the-scenes “grunt” worker for everything done at Zoe’s Place and All-4-Kids Sales.
Niki was born and raised in the Lehigh Valley and has a degree in education, with teaching certificates in both elementary and special education. She also attended North Carolina College of Theology for one year and has been involved in various areas of christian ministry for more than two decades. She is passionate about working with children & women to help them realize their value and purpose in life.
Rich and Niki met at church in January of 2003. They were married in April of 2004 and became a sort-of-modern-day-Brady-Bunch, with Rich bringing in 4 children from his 1st marriage, and Niki bringing in 2 from hers. Together, they had Zoe in 2009, and adopted 3 more children through the foster care system in December of 2016. Rich also adopted Niki’s older two children. So if you’re trying to add that all up, they have 10 children in all, plus 3 grandsons by the eldest daughter (with the youngest grandson in heaven). Their family truly is a picture of redemption and restoration in the midst of a world that is so broken and often without hope today. Whatever your struggle is, it’s likely one of them has gone through it, and they have found that their transparency makes the most impact when reaching out to others.
